You Guys! A Norwegian Zombie Comedy Just Won a HUGE Award!

A still from the movie 'Grandmonster' showing a zombie in a remote Norwegian setting.
  • What’s a “Grandmonster” anyway?
  • Why this wild film is winning big awards!
  • Our thoughts on the next must-see movie.

We just saw some news that literally made us pump our fists! Finally, some really fun, unique movie news to share with you all.

Get this: a Norwegian zombie comedy called “Grandmonster” just absolutely crushed it at Fantasia Festival’s Frontières Market. Yep, you read that right. Zombie. Comedy. From Norway!

The film, directed by Vegard Dahle, scooped up the super prestigious Outpost Award. That’s a huge deal in the film world, meaning it’s getting some serious post-production services as a prize. Talk about a sweet win!

So, what’s it even about? Picture this: an American dropout (classic, right?) somehow kicks off a zombie outbreak. But here’s the twist: it happens at a remote Norwegian nursing home. The mental image alone? Genius!

Imagine crisp, cool Norwegian air mixed with, well, a dash of the undead! The vibe must be wild. We’re thinking stark, beautiful landscapes contrasted with some seriously messy zombie action. That visual style sounds like pure art.

This film is getting buzz for big laughs, and honestly, we’re already sold. Who doesn’t need a good chuckle mixed with some good old-fashioned zombie mayhem?

Speaking of unexpected happenings, have you seen what’s going on in the Red Sea right now? Wild stuff! And in other news, Tracy Morgan’s show “Crutch” got the axe. Bummer for fans!

Our Take

We’re absolutely thrilled for “Grandmonster.” It just sounds like pure fun. As a team co-founded by two Art graduates, we’re always here for stories that push creative boundaries. A zombie comedy in a Norwegian nursing home? That’s definitely thinking outside the box!

We love that the project has such a distinct aesthetic. It feels fresh. We can’t wait to see this one hit screens and bring some much-needed laughter (and maybe a few screams!).

Oh, and on a totally different note, if you need a distraction (or just a really good deal), Béis luggage is basically FREE at Nordstrom right now. Just saying!
