There’s something about horror films from places like Denmark, Sweden and Norway that I find to be inherently unsettling. I feel like in the Danish version of The Princess Bride, Wesley returns to Buttercup covered in diseased oozing boils and, at the end of the movie, when she jumps to freedom out of that window, she’s somehow ripped apart in midair by a swarm of crows and a single inexplicably rabid dove. That region of the world knows how to put misery on film.
