http://youtu.be/d85jOXYFPA0

On May 13th, IFC Midnight will be giving a theatrical and VOD release to writer/director Eskil Vogt‘s The Innocents, which is described as being “a thrilling, original take on the dark side of superpowers.” In anticipation of this release, a trailer for The Innocents has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Vogt previously wrote and directed the 2014 drama Blind, and co-wrote Joachim Trier‘s 2017 horror film Thelma. Vogt and Trier collaborated on the recent release The Worst Person in the World as well. That film is nominated in the Best International Feature Film category of this year’s Academy Awards, and the screenplay Vogt and Trier wrote together is also an Oscar contender.

Vogt and Trier have worked on a lot of movies together. Vogt also wrote the films Reprise; Oslo, August 31st; and Louder Than Bombs with Trier.

Here’s the logline for The Innocents:

During the bright Nordic summer, a group of children reveal their dark and mysterious powers when the adults aren’t looking.

And here’s a synopsis with a little more information:

The Innocents follows four children who become friends during the summer holidays. Out of sight of the adults, they discover they have hidden powers. While exploring their newfound abilities in the nearby forests and playgrounds, their innocent play takes a dark turn and strange things begin to happen.

The film stars Rakel Lenora Fløttum, Alva Brynsmo Ramstad, Sam Ashraf, and Mina Yasmin Bremseth Asheim.

The Innocents was produced by Maria Ekerhovd. Vogt served as co-producer alongside Mark Lwoff, Misha Jaari, Eva Jakobsen, Mikkel Jersin, Katrin Pors, Magnus Thomason, Thomas Eskilson, Eric Tavitian, Katarina Krave, Frederic Fiore, and Lizette Jonjic. Axel Helgeland, Dave Bishop, and Celine Dornier are executive producers, with Ragna Nordhus Midtgard as associate producer and Jessica Balac, Kir Laursten, and Lina Pedersen line producing.
