Horror: Ramaskrik Presents

Ramaskrik is Norway’s scariest film festival, and from 14–18 October 2026, horror film fans from all over the country will once again gather in the mountain village of Oppdal. An important part of the festival is the Méliès d’argent short film competition, where we award the prize for the best European short film. As tradition dictates, we also select an intense short film program for Minimalen. Here we’ve put together a lineup of ten films from nine different countries, showcasing some of the range of what we present over five days in October!

In a dilapidated house by the ocean, a woman, worn down by time and solitude, lives a reclusive life. Every day, she performs the same unsettling ritual: extracting thick black algae from the pipes, cracks and invisible fissures, as if the house were rotting from the inside. Every afternoon, she drags this living matter to a cliff and throws it back into the sea.
