We've been excited for Daily Dead readers to see the Norwegian movie Thelma since Daily Dead Managing Editor Heather Wixson gave it four stars in her Fantastic Fest review, and with the supernatural coming-of-age movie out now on digital and VOD platforms in the US from The Orchard, we've been provided with an exclusive clip to share with Daily Dead readers.

Directed by Joachim Trier, Thelma stars Eili Harboe, Kaya Wilkins, and Henrik Rafaelsen. To learn more about the VOD and digital release of Thelma, visit the film's iTunes page and its official website.

Synopsis: Thelma, a shy young student, has just left her religious family in a small town on the west coast of Norway to study at a university in Oslo. While at the library one day, she experiences a violent, unexpected seizure. Soon after, she finds herself intensely drawn toward Anja, a beautiful young student who reciprocates Thelma's powerful attraction. As the semester continues, Thelma becomes increasingly overwhelmed by her intense feelings for Anja - feelings she doesn't dare acknowledge, even to herself - while at the same time experiencing even more extreme seizures. As it becomes clearer that the seizures are a symptom of inexplicable, often dangerous, supernatural abilities, Thelma is confronted with tragic secrets of her past, and the terrifying implications of her powers."
