Der bliver ikke just lavet mange film i den fantastiske genre her i lille DK, men Nikolaj Arcel, manden bag det politiske drama Kongekabalen, har åbenbart fået blod på tanden.

Island of Lost Souls/
De fortabte sjæles ø
Lulu (14) moves to a small town, Broby, with her mother and younger brother. Soon, strange incidences occur. One night, her brother is struck by a beam of white light ? actually the spirit of Herman Hartmann from the 19th-century. To her despair, Lulu realizes that Herman has possessed her brother, but after a time the two of them are whirled into a fevered adventure. Joined by Oliver, a rich kid, and Richard, a disillusioned clairvoyant and inventor, they take on the dark, supernatural forces gathering over Broby ? evil from deep in the land of the dead, determined to see them die.
