Such a frustrating disappointment
Suman Roberson
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

***MILD SPOILERS*** I watched this movie cause it was announced to be like a new milestone in danish horror, but it is quite a let-down.The film is in itself ok, has a lot of nice ideas. But honestly, the quija boards are a thing of the past and by no means scary anymore. There's so many cliches in this film, a list would be going too far.There's also a couple of very annoying characters aswell, especially the smart*** "Mark" played by equally annoying Jon Lange - I've seen a couple of other flicks with this guy and he isn't acting, he is being himself - nothing more, nothing less....to see him shot in the gutt in the end actually made me cheer...I was waiting for that....kinda cruel thing to say, but nevertheless true..Anyway, a mediocre film, nothing more, nothing less.. And I kinda got my eyes opened for Laura Christensen who is becoming kind of a babe - Saw her in Von Trier's "Kingdom" years ago, but she sure developed in all good ways of the word...Yummi!

I've seen this movie twice and it's good. It's not one of those movies where you leave the cinema absolutely amazed. But it was entertaining and scary, which was what I expected. The acting went from amazing to average/bad. A couple of the Danes, who had this movie as their debut movie, looked almost bad on the screen. You could easily see they almost didn't have an experience in the acting area. Lucky it wasn't any of the lead characters. The lead character which was played by Kristian Leth, was very good. He might not have been in a lot of movies, but he did the job very well. Laura Christensen wasn't too good in the beginning of the movie, but after some progress she started too become very good. The Swede, Per Oscarson, did a very good job, considering his rather small part. The one actress that really blew me away was the other Swede, Tuva Novotny, who plays Linn. She's an absolutely AMAZING actress. Which made a lot of the actors look so bad compared to her. Her character was fairly simple, but she still made her character one of the most interesting and enjoyable character. She's definitely an actress I will be looking out for. The movie itself was fairly good. It's main purpose was to be scary and that, I think, was succeded. I found myself being scared often. It's not a different scary movie, it's actually pretty much like any other scary movie, but I still think it made itself a tiny bit different in some way. I didn't become bored at all during the movie and I didn't regret spending my 2 x 7,5$ on this movie. But I most say, that Tuva Novotny's acting made the movie so much better. If she hadn't been in it, I probably wouldn't have gone in to see it for the second time.

Is Kristian Leth the greatest actor I have ever seen? Most probably - he puts people like Alan Rickman, Robert De Niro and Kevin Costner to shame!The script stinks however, but amazingly Leth holds it all together - such is his brilliance. It certainly won't be too long until someone like Tarantino or Woo snaps this guy up.Overall I'd give the film 8.9/10. Without Leth it probably would only receive 3.

I caught a screening of this movie at the Gothenburg Film Festival, and I was pleasantly surprised.I hadn't seen any trailers or anything and didn't know what to expect, except that it was a danish teen-movie. It turned out to be a rather scary little movie, avoiding the worst clichés (although it is nothing new, it twists and turns (except maybe for the ending) and never gets predictable or boring) and it's got beautiful photo and very good music (Carpark North) and sound.I think the actors did a great job all over - but I can't guarantee anything since that may have something to do with me don't speaking danish... :o)I would certainly recommend to see it in a theatre with 800 other people screamin' out loud as I did...
