The film was originally titled 'Hodejegerne' (Headhunters) in Norway, but the international title was changed to 'Henge' for its release in some markets, though this appears to be an error as the 2011 film is indeed titled 'Hodejegerne' and is an entirely different movie than the 2011 thriller 'Henge' which is the subject of this profile.
