A cabin in the woods, a group of kids, and something in the basement. Given the idea that the film is based on Swedish folklore that tells the legend of almost-human creatures living underground, it’s not hard to realise that Wither is an homage to Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead. In fact this is such a blatant “homage” it could almost be Evil Dead 4 by any other name!
Ida and Albin are thrilled to be setting off for a fun holiday with their friends to a remote cabin in the vast Nordic woodlands. But their carefree weekend comes unhinged when one of them accidentally unleashes a mysterious and murderous creature trapped in the basement. Worse, under the floorboards lurks an evil from Sweden’s dark past.

But their carefree weekend comes unhinged when one of them accidentally unleashes a mysterious and murderous creature trapped in the basement. Worse, under the floorboards lurks an evil from Sweden’s dark past. As the savage demon begins its assault, the blood-dredged body count mounts, and with it more creatures of the night out for the taste of freshly killed human flesh. Dazed and very confused the friends mount their own desperate counterattack, one that includes decapitations, dismemberments, copious splatter and axes through the brain.

By the way, what's going on is very much in the vein of The Evil Dead. Check 'em out!
Patrik Almkvist, Lisa Henni, Patrick Saxe, Amanda Renberg, Max Wallmo, Jessica Blomkvist, Anna Henriksson, Johannes Brost, Fredrik Dolk, A.R Hellquist, Ingar Sigvardsdotter, Ralf Beck, Sanna Ekman, and Julia Knutson all star.
Synopsis
Albin; his girlfriend, Ida; and their friends are all in their late twenties. During a family dinner Albin's dad tells the couple about a supposedly abandoned house deep in the woods.

Stockholm Syndrome Film, the creators of the movies Madness and Blood Runs Cold (acquired by Bloody Disgusting Selects for a 2012 release) tells us about their newest ultra-violent Swedish horror that's currently in post.

Blood Runs Cold
Stars: Hanna Oldenburg, Patrick Saxe, Andreas Rylander, Elin Hugoson, Ralf Beck | Written by Sonny Laguna, David Liljeblad, Tommy Wiklund | Directed by Sonny Laguna
Despite its historically barren filmic landscape, especially when it comes to horror, Sweden is suddenly gaining a reputation for producing some of the coolest (pun intended) horror flicks of recent years – including the international mega-hit that was Let The Right One In. Since that films debut in 2008, Sweden has seen a boom in home-grown horror, most of which has sadly gone straight to VOD/DVD overseas. Now Swedish production company Stockholm Syndrome (very apt) unleash their latest opus Blood Runs Cold on an unsuspecting audience at this years London Film4 Frightfest, with a villain that can only be described as Chud meets Friday the 13th!
