Review of Försvunnen

Försvunnen (2011)
8/10
Horror in a Swedish forest.
14 October 2023
This is the first Swedish horror film I have seen, although a very mild version of the genre. It features Malin (Sofia Ledarp) who is moving to the north of Sweden. She has a long drive ahead of her and is towing a trailer with her belongings. She happens to be followed by Mannen (Kjell Bergqvist). At first she thinks it might be co-incidental that she keeps seeing him but eventually he freaks her out so she contacts the police, but unforunately they have no available officer to help in this remote part of the country. This is where Malin makes a big mistake. Instead of driving on to the nearest town, she stops for a rest on this remote, empty road. It is no surprise that Mannen turns up and kidnaps her. He knocks her out and she wakes up in a dingy cellar, with no idea where she is. This is where the story really starts but I will not go into any details, but just say I found it quite suspenseful and entertaining, with a sympathetic victim and plenty of shots of Swedish forestry.
