Writer and director Mattias J Skoglund has been traveling the world presenting his latest project the horror film "Hemmet" (The Home) and joins us today to celebrate the Swedish theatrical release.

Based on Mats Strandberg's novel, "Hemmet" tells the story of a young man who returns to his childhood home in order to move his mother into an assisted living facility. Once there, her condition takes a turn for the worse and drama unfolds. Is it a question of deepening dementia or is something more sinister afoot?

With tremendous performance by Anki Lidén and Philip Oros among other notables, "Hemmet" will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.

Mattias will tell us about his experience writing with Mats, how he went about casting a mix of seasoned pros and unknowns and the eight year journey to bring "Hemmet" to the screen.

Sorry about the audio, I think the spirit of Bengt might have been lurking when we recorded.
