The Making of Skjult (Hidden)

On Location, with Kristoffer Joner and Alligator Film- Norway

The Making of Skjult

In 2009, Alligator Film Norway released "Skjult." The following year, After Dark Films (Horrorfest) released the DVD in the US, entitled as "Hidden."

One the best horror movies ever made. Not your conventional blood, guts and gore film, but rather a refreshing take on the classic haunt. Lacking sex scenes and computer generated imagery, Norwegian director Pål Øie relied heavily on the skill of his actors. An engrossing film with powerful music and stunning cinematography.

After a 19 year absence, Kia Koss (KK) arrives back home to attend to his dead mother’s affairs. Once inside her house and alone, Kia’s reality slowly changes…..Kia’s mother was a cruel woman, who severely abused him throughout his childhood. Marked as a psychological thriller/ horror, yet you are never entirely certain if Kia was the murderer or if he was simply being haunted by someone or something...

Kia Koss is played by award winning actor Kristoffer Joner. Pål Øie is the masterful director who also wrote the screenplay. Read about another Øie and Joner horror collaboration from 2006 Vildmark (Dark Woods)

Funding: Filmkraft

Production: Odin Film

Actors: Julia Joner, Erik Thorstvedt

For years, Norwegian actor Kristoffer Joner has been an advocate for "Free Heroin" or "Prescription Heroin," as part of the rehabilitation treatment for addicts in Norway. Mr. Joner has been both misquoted by the press and criticized by politicians, but continues to fight and hope for legislation. In 2010, through his company Odin Film, Kristoffer Joner released the documentary short "Heroin." In the meantime, Norway continues to contemplate this highly controversial issue. Heroin is highly addictive and plentiful. Addiction is difficult to treat. Heroin is not only a problem in Norway, but for many countries across the globe.
