Alena is a Swedish horror film directed by Daniel di Grado. It is based on the Swedish graphic novel Alena by Kim W. Andersson. The original graphic novel dealt with themes of homophobia, external and internalized, themes which are absent in the film.

Cast

Reception

Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote that the film is a "polished and reasonably entertaining hunk of teen angst, but its familiar suspense elements rely heavily on a β€œtwist” most viewers will see coming a mile off." Jennie Kermode wrote "Everything about this film is exquisite, from its gorgeously textured cinematography to the delicate performances of its stars. Nothing has been left to chance, and the result is compelling viewing."
