NightMare, dir. Kjersti Helen Rasmussen, Norway 2022, 100 min., Norwegian with English subtitles
Life is good for Mona and Robby. Having just moved into their new apartment, and with Robby landing his dream job, the young couple have much to celebrate. News of Mona’s pregnancy should be the icing on their happiness cake, but the expectant mother finds herself plagued with bad dreams, which intensify following the tragic death of their neighbour’s baby. As nightmares seep into reality, Mona becomes convinced that the demon of her dreams has its sights set on her unborn child.
From the high-class chills of Rosemary’s Baby to the exploitation thrills of It’s Alive, the horror genre has proved a fertile breeding ground for exploring antenatal anxieties. With her thrillingly assured, deliciously unnerving debut, Kjersti Helen Rasmussen definitively proves there are few things more terrifying than the impending pressures of motherhood.
