A strange power surge in Oslo causes the dead to re-animate, throwing three families into chaos as they try to cope with the return of a loved one that's not quite right.
This is based on a novel by the same guy who wrote Let the Right One In and there are moments that have the same feel, but overall this is a very weak film. It doesn't say or do anything new with the genre and the overall message of letting go of grief is facile and frankly, condescending.
Can't even give it props for performances. Everybody acts like they're on anti-depressants already and I don't know if that's just because they're Norwegian or what. It's boring, it's sad, and it's insulting. It's streaming on Hulu.
