This will be available on VOD to watch starting in September if anyone is curious. A meteorologist journeys to a deserted island to investigate his father’s mysterious death, where he experiences strange and mysterious occurrences. Confronted by strange lights in the dark, eerie radio disturbances, and a hidden cave, David begins to question whether or not he’s really alone on the island. Suddenly, a female voice calls out to him – a stranger who is trying to reach David. The indie horror stars Johan L. Heinstedt, Hanne Mathisen Haga, Joel Wallón, and Magnus Roosmann. It hasn’t played at many fests, though it still looks like a unique, atmospheric psychological thriller. View the footage below.

Here’s the official trailer (+ two posters) for Johan Storm’s Shadow Island, direct from YouTube:

David, an aspiring meteorologist, follows his late father’s footsteps in the Swedish military. Stumbling upon what’s left of his father’s work, David sets off to a desert island in the Barents Sea – which may hold the truth about his father’s passing. Confronted by strange lights in the dark, eerie radio disturbances, and a hidden cave, David begins to question whether or not he’s really alone on the island. Suddenly, a female voice calls out over the silent radio – a stranger trying to reach David. Little does he know, his search for truth is about to descend into a much larger conspiracy… Shadow Island is both written and directed by Swedish filmmaker Johan Storm, making his feature directorial debut with this film. Produced by Niklas Bergwall and Erik Ljung. This initially premiered at Germany’s Fantasy Filmfest earlier this year.
