    A chilling Norwegian thriller set on an sinister, isolated island, focusing on the brutal mistreatment of juvenile detainees and their inevitable revolt. With a superb script, sharp dialogue, and flawless editing and cinematography, the film makes you feel the freezing cold in your bones from start to finish....
