Odessa Young Eva looking concerned as she stares straight ahead in The Damned.
The Big Picture Throughout The Damned, writer-director Thordur Palsson’s formidable feature debut, the phrase that kept echoing through my head was the chilling proclamation that the “world is dark and full of terrors.” Yes, this is a quote from Game of Thrones, whose Rory McCann is part of the cast here. However, he is not what kept bringing it to mind. No, it was the terror in the eyes of those like Odessa Young and Joe Cole where this was most felt.
What Is 'The Damned' About? The one at the core of this is Eva who has recently been dealing with the loss of her husband. Though she has managed to carry on, survival is still no easy task, especially as hunger begins to set in. In the opening narration and a simple yet sinister extended shot, we see how their food stores have run low.
This is not because it has any formal similarities to The Damned, but because both attempt to look deeper into why it is that we create narratives to comfort ourselves. Even though they can seem terrifying, it’s easier than the truth that could be staring us right in the face. The mind can become untethered when faced with immense trauma, and we will turn to whatever we can to pull it back together again.
