Pity poor Vidar…be-sodden with an eternally “ill” Mother and at the mercy of a Draconian Christian community, our hero has led an overbearingly monotonous existence keeping up the family farm while trying to conform to societal norms. Seeking escape, Vidar begs Jesus for salvation, looks at a Playboy, dreams of a naked demoness (a dream in which he sees himself as a vampire…that’s foreshadowing for ya), wakes up and smokes a cig, and heads to his barn where a vampire Jesus appears and forces our hero to give him a beej…which turns him into a creature of the night…a bloodsucker who also regularly attends therapy to figure out what condition his condition is in. Dammit Vidar, you are one mother fucker of a film!!

Sink your teeth into a first look and the first trailer for the horror-comedy Vidar The Vampire, or VampyrVidar as known in its Norwegian home. Written and directed by Thomas Aske Berg and Fredrik Waldeland, the film stars Henrik Rafaelsen, Kim Sønderholm, and Thomas Aske Berg. From the Press Release: Vidar the Vampire is a Norwegian ultra low budget horror-comedy produced by UFOh! The film is set to premiere at The Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund on August 23rd, 2017 and will screen at both Fantasy Filmfest, Germany and FilmQuest, USA in September, 2017. The film is self-financed with a budget totalling approximately USD 60.000. The making of Vidar the Vampire has been an entirely organic process from beginning to end, both by choice and necessity.
