- After a traumatic childhood, Nora is consumed by vengeful thoughts towards her stepsister, Rose. She becomes fixated on the idea of getting revenge, and with the help of her destructive boyfriend and his disturbed friends, she plans the ultimate act of retribution.
When Rose invites Nora on a healing trip to a remote forest, Nora sees an opportunity to carry out her plans. Little does Rose know that Nora has a sinister agenda for the trip, and soon both sisters are haunted by their pasts.
As they journey deeper into the forest, tensions rise and the sisters begin to unravel. Nora's obsession with revenge reaches fever pitch, and she becomes increasingly unhinged. Meanwhile, Rose struggles to understand what is happening to her and why Nora seems so determined to hurt her.
Ukrudt is a harrowing and ruinous study of trauma and self-loathing. Director Kasper Juhl, a driving force behind the existential dread present in Danish genre films, has crafted a film that showcases the darkest aspects of human nature and the terrible things people are capable of doing to each other.
Shot during lock down with only three crew members at a time, the minimalist style of Ukrudt is an effective tour-DE-force of the evil we inflict upon each other when we can't forget the past. With superbly naturalistic performances and sustained tension, the film leaves an unforgettable impression on its audience.
Ukrudt is a haunting exploration of the human psyche and the destructive power of revenge. As the sisters confront their past and present demons, audiences will be left breathless and unnerved by the raw emotion and chilling visuals on display
