Editor’s note: Handling the Undead (2024) in a nutshell: Firmly a Horror, Drama, Mystery piece, but with a personal touch. Thea Hvistendahl keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Performances (especially Renate Reinsve, Anders Danielsen Lie, Bahar Pars) give the story human stakes. The 1h 38m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Not universally praised, but there’s enough here for curious genre fans. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
