Director: Tommy Wiklund, Sonny Laguna
Sweden's post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror Cora imagines a world reduced to a handful of survivors after a lethal mist swallows the planet, following one woman's quiet fight to undo the damage.
What is Cora about?
Decades after a mysterious, deadly mist rolled across the earth and wiped out most of humanity, small pockets of survivors remain, scraping by in a landscape reshaped by loss. Cora works for an organization built around a single, desperate mission: finding a way to reverse what the mist did and reclaim some version of the world that came before. Her days are defined by scarcity, isolation, and the slow erosion of hope, but also by flashes of resolve that keep the search going. As Cora pushes deeper into the mystery behind the disaster, the film settles into an atmosphere of dread and quiet grief rather than large-scale spectacle, using her personal drive as the thread that holds its bleak future together.
Cast & crew
The cast is led by Thomas Lennon alongside Andreas Rylander and Felicia Rylander, with Patrick Saxe, Alec Toselli, Alex Fatehnia, Caroline Mathiasen, and Sanne Broström filling out the small, tightly wound ensemble that populates this stripped-down future.
Context & significance
Directors Tommy Wiklund and Sonny Laguna, the Swedish filmmaking duo behind several genre features, bring their horror instincts to a story that leans more on mood and dread than jump scares, treating the mist less as a monster and more as a slow-moving grief made visible. The Swedish setting and modest scale give Cora a chamber-piece intimacy rare in apocalyptic science fiction, keeping the focus on a handful of characters rather than sprawling world-building.
