Richard Holm's Action Thriller 'Vi dör i natt' Set for October Premiere

Richard Holm's much-anticipated film 'Vi dör i natt' is set to premiere in Swedish cinemas on October 24, 2025. The film, categorized as an action thriller, unfolds in a remote country store where the staff and patrons are forced to protect a wounded man from an approaching violent gang. Holm, who previously directed notable works like 'Avgrunden' and 'Gåsmamman', describes this project as fulfilling a long-held desire to bring thrilling narratives with strong character dynamics to Swedish cinema.

The screenplay, crafted by Christin Magdu and Robin Sherlock Holm, draws inspiration from a real-life incident encountered by Robin during his tenure at a store. The cast features notable Swedish talent including Christian Magdu, Amanda Lindh, and Kristoffer Joner, who collectively navigate complex moral dilemmas surrounding the care of the injured man, Dominic, and his girlfriend, Isa.

Filming took place at Nisses, a store situated in Rockhammar, Västmanland, known for its unique function as it operates solely on weekends. This scheduling enabled uninterrupted filming during weekdays, allowing the crew to capture the intense setting necessary for the film's storyline. Annica Bellander Rune from Scanbox Entertainment, the film's distributor, highlights 'Vi dör i natt' as a critical addition to the Swedish film industry, in light of the country's historical scarcity of action thrillers in theaters. The film not only seeks to deliver high-quality entertainment but also aims to enhance the visibility of Swedish action cinema on the global stage.
