"We have to get out of here! Run!" Netflix has debuted a full-length trailer for Swedish survival thriller Red Dot, by Swedish filmmaker Alain Darborg. The film follows a young couple taunted while camping in the snow. When Nadja becomes pregnant, David and Nadja make an attempt to rekindle their relationship by traveling to the north of Sweden for a vacation but soon their romantic trip turns into a nightmare. It's clear the "red dot" in this is just a laser pointer, likely attached to a rifle, from one of these crazy strangers. Red Dot co-stars Anastasios Soulis and Nanna Blondell as David and Nadja, with Johannes Kuhnke, Kalled Mustonen, and Tomas Bergström. This is a good tease - I'm just still wondering what happens after the flare. Who is after them and why? Only one way to find out - the film debuts on Netflix in February. Here's the...

"Hey, stop that!" Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for an indie survival thriller titled Red Dot, from Swedish filmmaker Alain Darborg. The film follows a young couple taunted outdoors while camping. When Nadja becomes pregnant, David and Nadja make an attempt to rekindle their relationship by traveling to the north of Sweden for a hiking trip but soon their romantic trip turns into a nightmare. It's clear the "red dot" in this is just a laser pointer, probably attached to a rifle, coming from some deranged stranger. Or maybe a deranged ex? Red Dot co-stars Anastasios Soulis and Nanna Blondell as David and Nadja, along with Johannes Kuhnke, Kalled Mustonen, and Tomas Bergström. This looks solid, that laser pointer is a seriously scary way of frightening people from afar. I just wonder what happens next? How do they escape? Here's the first teaser trailer for Alain Darborg's Red Dot,...

As it continues to expand its global profile, Nordic major Sf Studios is ramping up its U.K. operations with high-profile new hires and is developing “Don’t Move,” an English-language survival thriller project to be directed by Scandinavian up-and-comer Alain Darborg (“Alex”).
