12 Great Recent Movies You'll Never Be Able To Watch Again
4. Utoya July 22
Another dramatisation of the 2011 Norway Attacks (which was released in the same year and has a similar title, so people will inevitably get them mixed up), Utoya July 22 is even more powerful that the Netflix film.
It is, despite the other film's strength, considerably better and is an absolutely fantastic movie, which helps, but the main reason is its presentation.
22 July only depicts the attacks briefly and then focuses more on the aftermath, while Utoya depicts the Utoya Island attack in real time... in one continuous take.
As a result, it's more terrifying than most horror films could ever dream of being, and it's filled with traumatic, harrowing death scenes. The ending is particularly horrifying.
It's yet another criminally under-seen movie that deserves more attention, but it's going to be too heavy for some viewers and one viewing will definitely be enough for most.
