It's our last stop on an extended European trip, and we're spending it in the dark, foreboding woods of Norway with 2003's "Villmark". Written and directed by newcomers in Christopher Grondahl and Pal Oie, and featuring a cast of newcomers (aside from Norwegian psycho extraordinaire Bjorn Floberg), this ambitious film tells the story of a reality television crew going into the "dark woods" to act out what their future contestants will endure. What they come to find, however, is an even darker threat than they imagined...Alongside the discussion of the film, we also chat about media in horror film—whether it's used for exploitative reasons, or to poke fun at the "reality" we endure when we turn it on each day.
