Post alumni Petter Holmsen has recently released a horror series “Post-Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes” on Netflix. The series has enthralled viewers all across the globe.
In this series, a girl comes back from the dead as a bloodthirsty creature. She begins killing people so that her undertaker family can get more business by taking care of the corpses. This simple plot has intrigued students on campus, including junior biology major Madison Eppers.
“This sounds interesting. I love horror movies and I watch a lot of true crime and scary things, so I would definitely add this to my watch list,” Eppers said.
Horror and true crime are fitting terms. The premise is similar to classic films such as the “Night of the Living Dead” series and “Dracula”.
Reviews of the series have also been positive, Forbes contributor Sheena Scott has given her thoughts on “Post-Mortem.”
“This six-part series blends Nordic noir and the vampire horror genre together with an unsettling dose of dark humor.” Scott said. “Post-Mortem is an odd sort of series, and I mean that in a good way. Don’t be fooled by its seemingly light-hearted dark humor, as if to point out the absurdity of the whole situation, this is a brutal series about vampires.”
Aside from the “Post Mortem” series, many students were also impressed by Petter Holmsen’s accomplishment.
“It’s a big achievement in a tough industry so it’s great that he was able to make it successful,” junior art therapy major Katie Zarka said.
Other students have shared Zarka’s sentiments about Holmsen’s accomplishment.
“[It] makes me feel … good that I go to a school that gives people these types of opportunities,” junior game design major Sam Gothelf said.
Even back when Holmsen was still in school, his professors had high hopes for him. Chair of the department of communications and film Susan Zeig was one of those professors.
“We all felt quite sure that Petter would have a professional career. I would also like to add that Petter was chosen as the 2014 Valedictorian of LIU Post, so we were not the only ones who recognized his talent and ability,” Zeig said.
Creating a successful series is difficult, and those that do are worthy of respect. Students interested in “Post-Mortem” can tune in to it anytime on Netflix.
