The Nordic International Film Festival (NIFF) in New York City, announced its lineup for its 6th year, which will take place online and with select in-person drive-in screenings from October 15-20, 2020.
The Kill Team
The story centers on Staff Sergeant Deeks, a charismatic sociopath (played with eerie perfection by Alexander Skarsgård) who orchestrates the murders as it were a game of capture the flag, and Private Andrew Briggman (Nat Wolff), a soldier torn between numbing himself into complacency and being brave enough to report what’s happening. It’s a riveting and provocative look at how soldiers are pushed to dehumanize the enemy.
Directed by Dan Krauss
Starring Nat Wolff, Alexander Skarsgård, Adam Long, Jonathan Whitesell, Brian “Sene” Marc, Rob Morrow.
