Marianne has been described by reviewers as one of the great discoveries in genre cinema this year!

Marianne focuses on the mental state of Krister, a man who is left to raise a newborn baby whilst coping with a teenage daughter who blames him for the recent death of his wife. He is deteriorating and those around him have reason to be concerned. Especially because, for some time now, Krister has been plagued by night terrors, his fitful slumber intruded by a mysterious woman. He initially believes these visions are a symptom of serious post-traumatic shock, but becomes convinced that his troubles may be the work of a Mare that is haunting him.

"Marianne is extremely impressive" THE LINK

"Creepy, insightful and effectively melancholy Marianne is a quiet little winner." FEAR.NET

"Somebody, please, get Guillermo del Toro in contact with Tegstedt because here is a young director with the chops to make a The Devil's Backbone or a Pan's Labyrinth In fact, he may well already have done the former with Marianne" TWITCH
