Plot

A teenager's quest to launch Norwegian Black Metal in Oslo in the 1990s results in a very violent outcome.

Sinekatalog’s take

A teenage music scene spirals into violence, told with dark humour and a hard look at youthful posturing. The tone shifts uneasily, but the mood is unsettling and the subject compelling. Best for viewers who want a brutal, ironic look at extreme subculture.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
