A friendly reminder that THE DAMNED is still available to buy and rent on Apple and Amazon among other online retailers. Also - and not that it matters in the great scheme of things - but our RT score has gone up to 91% Fresh! #thedamnedfilm #irishfilm #iceland

366 Days of Film. Day 81 - Lamb. A couple living in rural Iceland, struggling to have a child, adopt a lamb. Best to approach this film cold as the fable slowly, quietly, reveals its mysteries to great effect. I wasn't a fan of that ending, though, a bit of a... Grimm wrap up.

The guys on ‘Kvikmyndapod: An Icelandic Cinema Podcast’ did a deep dive into #TheDamnedMovie that’s very interesting. Heavy spoilers from about halfway through, so be warned!

The Damned - Film Review Book reviews, geek news, LGBTQ+ articles, and more from Amy Walker, a disabled transgender writer and podcaster from the UK.

New horror film The Damned tells the story of an Icelandic fishing outpost in the deep of winter during the 19th century, and the other worldly horrors that await them when a ship sinks off the coast.

The Damned Settlers Have Got to Pay With a modest budget but plenty of thrills involving spooky 19th-century ships, frozen wastelands, and ghouls from Nordic folktales, The Damned proudly carries on our Gothic horror revival.

Set and shot in Iceland, the period horror film THE DAMNED features the kind of quiet atmospheric chills that really get to me. Here's my review: jacobin.com/2025/01/the-...
