Welcome to Filmloftet – A Norwegian Film Blog

Great to have you here! This is a Norwegian film blog for true enthusiasts, and my personal film diary. Here you will find in-depth film reviews, essays in the Film Journal, and now our brand new sections: The VHS Vault and Directors!

In the store, and as a regular guest writer, I’ve got my childhood friend Thor “Ator” Dahlstrøm by my side – the man with a super-memory for 80s VHS gold. The goal of Filmloftet is to share a lifelong passion for film.

Genre Film and Horror!

Even though I appreciate both modern releases and niche art-house films, there is no doubt where my heart lies: genre films are my true passion. To me, the 80s stand as the golden age of cinema, a period characterized by fearless creativity and a unique soul that is hard to find in today’s blockbusters. Can you dig it!?

Horror movies will always have a central place here on the blog. There is something about the raw energy of classic horror that fascinates me, and I love digging into everything from well-known titles to those obscure gems that might only exist on a worn-out VHS tape.

Whether you are looking for a nostalgic trip back to the 80s, or want to read about how genre films have evolved to this day, I hope you find something here to inspire your next movie pick. Remember to rewind the tape when you are done. Enjoy, and I hope the smell of the deep fryer is STRONG!

Join the Discussion!

Film is at its absolute best when it is being discussed. Did we trash your favorite? Are we way too kind to a terrible sequel? Let us know what you think! We live for honest conversations about everything from wooden B-movies to pitch-black horror.
