LANDSLIDE

Landslide is a unique and daring cinematic effort that celebrates the countryside in the 1990s. Directed by Julius Wadman, the film consists of two distinct short stories, family betrayal and the dream of riches, separated by fake trailers and wide vistas. The family betrayal takes us into a world ravaged by inner jealousy, where one is a survivor, including Anton Forsdik and Edvin Ryding, fighting inner demons of flesh-eating unconvinced. With its over-the-top action, outrageous characters and explosive gore effects, The Family Betrayed is a blood-soaked love letter to the splatter-filled dramas of the past.

The Dream, on the other hand, puts us behind the wheel with a dreamer named Anton Hansen who uses his “dead-proof” grandfather’s rifle to assassinate unsuspecting thoughts. But when he crosses paths with a group of evil men, including brother Edvin Hansen, his fortunes turn, leading to a high-octane battle for survival.

Landslide captures the essence of exploitation cinema, drawing inspiration from low-budget movies, exploitation flicks, and cult classics. It skillfully recreates the rough, gritty, and often shocking aesthetics of the grindhouse era, complete with scratches, missing reels, and intentional imperfections to evoke the nostalgia of those countryside screenings. The film celebrates the creativity and ingenuity found in exploitation cinema, pushing the boundaries of storytelling, violence, and genre conventions. It embraces the spirit of exploitation cinema with its raw and unapologetic approach, delivering a double feature that is both thrilling and entertaining.

Landslide showcases the collaborative efforts of Wadman, as well as a talented ensemble cast that includes Anton Forsdik, Edvin Ryding, Sass Wolgers, and many others. The film’s unique structure, stylish visuals, and expertly crafted homages to various genres make it an exhilarating and unforgettable cinematic experience.
