I had quite high expectations after overall good reviews in the Norwegian media. And thinking of the excellent movie Villmark, and the rather good Fritt Vilt, I wondered if this was going to top them both.
First of all the acting is embarrassing. The first part of the movie is loaded with cliché dialog, overacting and awkward moments. Especially for the audience watching. The second part is generally an unmotivated slaughter with no plot at all - and very little dialog as far as I remember.
The only positive I can point my finger on is the effects and the sound. The latter is actually the only thing that might be scary, I jumped in my seat a couple of times because of the loud volume. The effects are mostly uncomfortable. On the other hand, the plot is so predictable that it's impossible not figuring out what will happen next. Which makes the movie utterly boring and uninteresting.
At last. One of my biggest problems with this movie is that you never get a clue of why things are happening. It's just unmotivated random violence, which starts out of nowhere.
I don't really recommend this to anyone, it's a waste of time. I don't understand why it received good critics at all. If you want to see a good Norwegian thriller I'd recommend Villmark.
