“Valhalla Murders”—The House of the Dead
Kudos to Netflix for another great Nordic noir production. In this eight-episode series, Netflix’s first Icelandic co-production, we have a crime thriller about a gruesome serial killer whose murders go back over thirty-five years. Valhalla Murders is actually based upon a series of murders that took place in Reykjavik. There is some uneven pacing, but it is over shadowed by the unexpected twists and turns of this Nordic murder mystery.
In the
opening scene the main character, Detective Kata, is severely wounded and on the verge of death. Immediately Valhalla Murders
flashes...
