CAROUSEL
Terror Takes a Ride
What begins as an exclusive Halloween preview of an amusement park transforms into a night of unrelenting terror in this pulse-pounding horror thriller. When park ranger Fiona welcomes a group of former high school friends who've won a private after-hours tour, she discovers that some rides aren't meant to stop - and some tickets come with a deadly price.
From visionary director Simon Sandquist comes a white-knuckle thriller that has taken international audiences by storm. Written by the acclaimed duo Mårten Gisby and Henry Stenberg, "Carousel" reinvents the amusement park horror genre for a new generation. The film showcases riveting performances from its stellar cast, including breakout star Wilma Lidén, international sensation Omar Rudberg, and rising talent Amanda Lindh.
Even before the successful domestic launch, the film secured theatrical releases in key markets including Germany and China, with its unique blend of Scandinavian atmosphere and universal fears resonating strongly with international audiences. As distribution deals continue to close across multiple territories, "Carousel" stands as a shining example of Scandinavian cinema's growing commercial appeal in the global marketplace.
With its masterful tension-building, innovative setting, and psychological depth, "Carousel" represents a new wave in commercial Scandinavian horror, proving that fear truly is the universal language of cinema. The film's expanding international footprint reinforces the rising prominence of Nordic entertainment in the global market.
