Ramaskrik is Norway's scariest film festival. From October 17th to 20th, 2024, horror film fans from all over the country will gather in the mountain village of Oppdal once again. The festival primarily showcases feature films, but starting in 2024, we will also introduce a separate short film competition. As a preview, we're offering Minimalens' audience a chilling collection of six short films, each bringing us the discomfort we love in its own unique way!
