Hora Dobbel Trøbbel is essentially Reinert Kiil taking his films Hora and Inside the Whore and throwing them into the same cinematic meat grinder. The result is a nearly three-hour Norwegian underground horror experience that re-edits the two films into one deliberately constructed grindhouse-style feature,complete with an intermission,music videos,and additional material that makes it feel less like a simple double bill and more like its own bizarre exploitation movie. Rather than simply putting Hora and Inside the Whore back to back, Hora Dobbel Trøbbel turns them into a new cinematic package with its own rhythm and identity. It plays like Kiil building his own little grindhouse universe out of the films, with the intermission and music-video sections becoming part of the experience. The finished film runs 178 minutes and was released in 2015 on festivals - and first time on disc in 2025.
