Med rett til å drepe

About This Movie

Med rett til å drepe (1971) presents a chilling vision of a dystopian future where the concept of pre-crime is taken to its extreme. The film, though short, manages to create a tense atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. It explores themes of morality and the implications of allowing society to dictate the punishment of actions not yet taken. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, given the era, and add a certain gritty realism to the narrative. Performances are solid, capturing the unease of living in a world where your thoughts could lead to your imprisonment. Overall, it’s a thought-provoking piece that stands out in the realm of early Norwegian sci-fi.

This film is part of a small but intriguing collection of early Norwegian science fiction that collectors have started to take notice of. Its scarcity is notable, as it hasn't seen many re-releases and original formats are quite hard to find. The film's unique premise and execution make it a fascinating study in societal critiques, and it garners interest for those looking to explore the evolution of speculative fiction in cinema.
