Elin and Tobias are a happily married couple who regularly vacation with their young daughter. The family is on a dreamy holiday when an innocuous case of food poisoning derails their plans and forever alters the course of their lives. Three years later, the once loving couple is on the road again to go camping, looking for one last chance to go back to the way things used to be. But what once was is lost, and our characters instead find themselves having to relive the same nightmarish events, as that day and the horrors it brings repeat themselves infinitely. Together, they must overcome their trauma, reconcile with their past and fight for their lives. Over, and over, and over again.

Reviews

Groundhogs day horror

"This release is a Swedish Danish spin to the groundhogs day approach to horror like happy death day. An unexpected family loss end up in a never ending cycle of dying. Comes with a few extras and near artwork on sleeve."

— Kresh R. (4/5)

Effective and creepy.

"One among the many genre movies to tackle grief. But it's effective, it's creepy, an so I forgive."

— Oleh S. (3/5)

Fun fact you might not be aware of:

"Not a movie everybody will love, but if you enjoy strange, disturbing, dream-like movies, then this should give you something. A thing many outside of Denmark may not be aware of is that the main bad guy is played by Peter Belli - a very sweet and folksy guy who was a very famous singer in Denmark. He was sort of a symbol of our country's down-to-earth spirit (fun side fact: the term 'a Peter Belli cigarette' is Danish slang for a joint), so it is very jarring to see Mr. Belli playing such a creepy and terrifying character, haha."

— Sune J. (4/5)

A colorful nightmare

"Though I didn’t love it at a film festival, I couldn’t stop thinking about this movie for years afterward. If you love modern fairytales (the dark one) and mind f**cks, check this out. If you hate repetition, skip it!"

— Stephanie C. (3/5)

Swedish mix of several genres

"This has a unique darker spin on a Groundhog's day type scenario. Elements of hope, fantasy and sci-fi. Also has a director commentary and 2 short films."

— Kevin K. (4/5)

Johannes Nyholm's "Koko-di Koko-da" (2019)

"Johannes Nyholm's "Koko-di Koko-da" (2019) is a haunting and surreal exploration of grief and trauma. The film follows a couple trapped in a nightmarish time loop during a camping trip, where they are tormented by bizarre and menacing figures. With its unsettling atmosphere, striking visuals, and a blend of live-action and shadow-puppet animation, the movie delves into the psychological toll of loss. While its repetitive structure may challenge some viewers, its dark fairy tale quality and emotional depth make it a unique and thought-provoking experience for fans of experimental horror."

— Jimmy W. (5/5)

Koko-di Koko-da

"Awesome release of a very unique film"

— Patrick P. (5/5)

Interesting

"A sort of Alice in Wonderland retelling through a darker and simpler lens. It was decent but ultimately forgettable. It does look amazing and the picture is fantastic. It just felt like it was missing more from the plot. Give it a shot."

— Trevor D. (4/5)

Great

"Great"

— Joseph Z. (5/5)

Interesting Movie

"The slipcover artwork was what drew me in initially. This release looks and sounds marvelous, as always! VS is peerless in the world of film restoration and this movie is no exception!"

— Paul K. (5/5)
