Steve is a successful businessman in Dallas. One day he receives a letter from his old friend Eric in Sweden. Eric is overstrained and threatens to reveal a crime that they committed as children. Steve realizes that he has to go to Sweden and help Eric. Steve's wife Linda insists on coming too. Something she will deeply regret. When they arrive in Sweden they find Eric on the verge of insanity. He raves about their old teacher, who was burned to death in a mysterious fire many years ago. Steve and Linda become involved in Eric's world of illusions. Soon it gets impossible to distinguish between dream and reality. They are more and more affected by an evil force from the other side. The trip that should have been a vacation to Sweden becomes a one way ticket to hell.

Reviews
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Leofwine_draca SCORCHED HEAT is another limited, low rent horror film from Sweden, with almost exactly the same plot as SOUNDS OF SILENCE. As usual most of the plot revolves around two of three characters in a supposedly haunted location. It's one of those cheapies guaranteed to test the patience of even the hardiest viewer, with endless small talk and limited horror scenes which don't exactly terrify. A guy heads off to Sweden where he meets a childhood friend going out of his mind; a dark shared secret may be the reason behind his fragile mental state. There's very little here even for the purveyor of rare horror to get excited about.
