Rinda DiLibda I was extremely surprised with this movie; as I did not expect anything out of it after watching a couple of "bad" movies being hyped by everyone as really "good" movies, so this one blew me away. The story is amazing and well put that until the last part it leads your thoughts into something else while the truth is at the far opposite side of that part, the acting is almost average except for Tuva Novotny as Linn and Kristian Leth as Christian, as both mastered their characters to the benefit of the movie. The story might not be an original one, but it had a clever twist starting with the mysterious suicide of Sofie, Christian's sister during a friend's party. After-wards, the movie follows the aftermath of the sudden suicide on Christian, his parents as well as his friends who we get to know each one of them in greater details as they all set to travel to Sweden on a regular trip. We'll know of Trine in particular who was a close friend of Sofie and develops an interest in Christian as well during the trip. As their relationship progress, Christian starts to witness a set of unexplained events starting with the car (the lights open by themselves, the car stops at a certain area in the woods...) as well as a small pink toy his sister was holding when she overdosed with pills which keeps appearing in strange locations, every time Christian leaves it safe with him. Then, Christian begins to suspect of Persson, the old guy who lives nearby to the point of searching his house when he was not around, only to discover a little girl's room in the upper level, in a house which has no current children. Christian tells his friends of those occurrences, believing that his sister is trying to contact him, which all attributes to his sadness over the sudden loss of Sofie, except Linn, who encourages him to speak and explore of such events and takes the lead in "playing" a game which tends to interact with ghosts. To the surprise of all of his friends, Christian gets indeed contacted by a ghost of a little girl, named Malin whose her child's room was the one he found at Persson's house, knowing from Linn that the little girl was lost for a while and all the town helped searched for her without much luck. The movie also gets you greatly suspicious of Persson, with his odd behavior, asking about Sofie in a strange manner as well as a disturbingly odd behavior from Trine as well... and Up until that moment, you could not predict the truth, the motives of the little girl's ghost and what its link with Sofie's suicide. The movie gets you clinging to the screen as the truth begins to unfold in an unexpected way... The ending is completely refreshing that is truthfully worth watching especially after the slow middle parts of the movie and all in all, it is an excellent horror movie, that if you are looking for something with a nice plot, far from the mainstream Hollywood tasteless ones, then this movie is the right one for you.
linneanor I really enjoyed this one! it was very blair witch project when they ran around in the woods, but it wasn't like a big rip-off or something. Tuva Novotny is a very good actress and the other actors did a great job! a movie I recommend!
general_bc If you expect a Hollywood-like `action & effect'-packed thriller, this is not the movie for you.But it has an excellent storyline, good actors and actresses - even though most of these are debutants. Furthermore the effects are surprisingly well made, and I personally got quite a few shocks during this movie. See it. It's excellent!
Tobias Baunbæk I have just come back from the cinema, where there was a first premiere on Midsommer.Before the movie I thought that this would be one of the bad teenage horror movies. The trailer gave me the impression that I would expect something like a Friday 13th without the splatter effects. That wasn't what I got.There was a lot of scary effects, and they worked very well. Thumbs up for the sound editing, as you could hear they had been working a lot on it. The plot was kinda straight forward from what you would expect in a teen horror. In the first scene one of the kids kills herself, and over the movie you try to figure out why.Where the movie lagged was specially in the ending. It seems that they tried to copy Scream too much in a way. Through the film there haven't been any action scenes, but in the end it all goes too much action, and the plot reveals itself too fast. Also, some of the young actors could have had more experience, but they had chosen a nice lead with Kristian Leth and also Tuva Novotny who plays the mysterious Swede are doing a great job.All in all not a movie you would remember in some years, but very much entertaining. Should be seen in the cinema, so you don't lose too much of the sound quality and loudness.
