Read moreOn New Year's Eve, drunkard David Holm is intoxicated with two drinking buddies. He tells them about an old legend that the last person to die each year has to drive Death's carriage and carry the souls of the dead for an entire year. This will be a night where David must reflect on his own life and he meets a horrible fate.
Together with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Nosferatu (1922), Körkarlen (The Phantom Carriage) is considered a masterpiece of early horror film, greatly influencing Ingmar Bergman and Stanley Kubrick as well as a number of horror filmmakers. Kubrick himself gained inspiration for the iconic axe scene in The Shining (1980) from Körkarlen.
