Valley of Shadows (2017) 16

Norway | 2017 | 91 min.

Between the sea and the mountains in a small village in Norway, Aslak (6) lives with his mother Astrid. Left alone with his devastated single mother, Aslak lacks the ability to deal with what's going on. Worse, strange things have been happening in the area. Livestock is being slaughtered, and while the local farmers suspect a wolf, the children are convinced there's something far more nefarious going on.
