About The Trip
The Trip (original title 'I onde dager') is a deliciously dark 2021 Norwegian genre-blender that masterfully combines elements of action, comedy, horror, and thriller into one wildly entertaining package. Directed by Tommy Wirkola, the film follows married couple Lars (Aksel Hennie) and Lisa (Noomi Rapace) as they retreat to a remote family cabin with sinister intentions—each planning to murder the other. What begins as a twisted domestic drama takes several unexpected turns when three escaped convicts arrive, forcing the warring spouses into an uneasy alliance for survival.
Aksel Hennie and Noomi Rapace deliver fantastic performances, perfectly balancing the film's tonal shifts between dark marital comedy and intense survival thriller. Their chemistry—both combative and strangely cooperative—forms the emotional core that grounds the increasingly outrageous plot developments. Wirkola's direction keeps the pacing tight across the 113-minute runtime, expertly building tension before releasing it in bursts of dark humor and surprisingly well-choreographed action sequences.
What makes The Trip particularly worth watching is its clever subversion of expectations. Just when you think you've identified the film's genre, it pivots in fresh directions, maintaining suspense throughout. The Norwegian setting adds atmospheric beauty that contrasts wonderfully with the violent chaos unfolding within the cabin. With its strong international cast, sharp script, and successful genre hybridization, The Trip offers a uniquely entertaining viewing experience for fans of dark comedies and thrillers alike. This is one cabin getaway where the relationship problems are literally murderous, and the unexpected guests are even worse.
