Mylla Films is positioning itself as the premier boutique destination for high-concept Nordic genre talent, offering creative freedom to established icons like Tobias Forge.
Insiders whisper that Forgeβs move is less about directing and more about curating a specific 'Swedish Gothic' aesthetic that is currently trending in both fashion and film circles.
Mylla Films launched at Cannes in 2022. The slate includes 'The End' by the 'Midsommar' production designer and the Swedish horror 'Trespassers,' alongside Forge's 'V/H/S Mixtape' segment.
If you aren't paying attention to Mylla Films, you're missing the next big wave of curated horror chic. Tobias Forge just made Swedish genre cinema the most exclusive club in town.
In a move that perfectly bridges the gap between high-fashion horror and cinematic avant-garde, Tobias Forge has officially joined the slate of Mylla Films. The Ghost frontman is set to helm a segment for 'V/H/S Mixtape,' a project that signals a shift in how we perceive Nordic genre cinema. It is no longer just about scares; it is about style, texture, and a very specific, curated aesthetic that Mylla Films has been cultivating since its splashy launch at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022.
Forge, known for his meticulous control over the visual identity of Ghost, is bringing that same sharp eye to this horror anthology, proving that the crossover between music video direction and feature filmmaking is the ultimate luxury play of 2026. Mylla Films, the brainchild of 'Midsommar' producer Patrik Andersson and Jakob Abrahamsson, CEO of Nordic indie distribution heavyweight NonStop Entertainment, has quickly become a magnet for top-tier genre talent. The companyβs portfolio is expanding with impressive speed, including the Swedish horror film 'Trespassers' and 'The End,' helmed by the production designer of 'Midsommar.' This isn't just a production house; it's a tastemaker.
By aligning with Forge, they are leveraging his massive cultural footprint to elevate the perceived value of their slate. The synergy here is palpable: Forgeβs theatrical, costume-heavy persona aligns perfectly with the boutique, visually-driven brand Mylla Films has established. What makes this partnership particularly interesting from a lifestyle perspective is the emphasis on 'Swedish Horror' as a distinct, marketable aesthetic.
The inclusion of 'The End' by the 'Midsommar' production designer suggests a continued commitment to the lush, daylight-horror visuals that defined Ari Asterβs hit. Forgeβs involvement adds a layer of rock-and-roll mystique, appealing to a demographic that consumes horror not just as entertainment, but as a fashion statement. The 'V/H/S Mixtape' segment promises to be a nostalgic yet modern exploration of the format, likely featuring the kind of practical effects and retro-futuristic styling that Forge is known for in his stage shows.
As we look at the broader landscape, Mylla Films is positioning itself as the go-to destination for creatives who want to maintain artistic control while accessing high-level distribution networks. For Tobias Forge, this is a strategic expansion of his brand beyond music. He is curating a legacy that encompasses both sound and sight, ensuring that his influence permeates the horror genre with the same dominance he holds in the metal world. Keep your eyes on this slate; itβs not just scary, itβs chic.
