This was released in 2021 but was released on streaming and VOD in 2022 so I’d argue it counts.

De uskyldige (The Innocents) is a Norwegian supernatural thriller written and directed by Eskil Vogt. It’s about a group of young children who live on a Norwegian housing estate and hang out together in the woods when all the other kids leave for vacation in the summer. The children start to develop strange powers and the film takes a very dark turn.

It’s filmed in a very naturalistic way and the child actors are amazing making it even creepier.

One of the main characters is severely autistic and the child actress playing her does an incredible job of portraying it.

It’s in Norwegian obviously so expect subtitles but if you can handle that, this is one of the best movies I have seen in years.
