Spoiler Free Review: Mountain King (Brooklyn Horror Film Festival 2026)

Official synopsis In the highlands of Scandinavia, where folklore and reality converge, Hannah travels to surprise her boyfriend and meet his family. However, her unexpected arrival unlocks family secrets and unleashes mystic danger.  Review Often, going in cold to a film can be a blast. Such is the case with director Gabrielle Christensen’s Mountain King (U.S., 2026). From what little I had learned about it before watching, I was expecting a straight folk horror outing, and from the cold open, that seemed to be correct. Something in a wintertime Scandinavian forest is stalking three friends. But soon after that sequence, I could see that I was in for a horror comedy. In this case, it was quite a pleasant surprise. Hannah (Hannah Deale) travels from her home in the States to visit, unannounced, her boyfriend Gregor (Carter Sirianni) at his family home in Sweden. Gregor had recently proposed to her but she declined, and now she is having second thoughts.
