Eskil Vogt’s supernatural Norwegian horror, THE INNOCENTS, arrives in select theaters and VOD today from IFC Midnight.

The film follows four children who become friends during the summer holidays. Out of sight of the adults, they discover they have hidden powers. While exploring their newfound abilities in the nearby forests and playgrounds, their innocent play takes a dark turn and strange things begin to happen.

THE INNOCENTS had its world premiere at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, and was a Fantastic Fest 2021 Official Selection, as well as an Official Selection for New Directors/New Films 2022. Master of Horror, Stephen King, even called the film, “Sinister and completely absorbing . . . I doubt I’ll see another film so successful on all levels this year."

The film was written and directed by Eskil Vogt, Academy Award® nominated writer for THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD, and stars Rakel Lenora Fløttum, Alva Brynsmo Ramstad, Mina Yasmin Bremseth Asheim, Sam Ashraf, Ellen Dorrit Pedersen, Morten Svartveit, Kadra Yusuf, and Lisa Tønne.
