Now Kasper Juhl has been a director that I've had mixed feelings about. His earlier films were complete garbage! Mind you even as bad as they were they showed signs of some talent hidden underneath the sewage. I'm glad to say half way into his career he's made some solid, viscerally dark movies. And this may just be his best!
The movie starts out with two girls filming themselves hitchhiking to Amsterdam. They get picked up by a guy that seems to be handsome and good natured yet slightly off. Then he picks up his weirdo brother then things start going south quick.
This movie was obviously done on the cheap, ala found footage style like his first two features 'Sunken Danish' and 'Monstrosity'. Unlike those movies this was very good! Not just some cheap 'August Underground' rip off from a guy trying to be edgy. This movie slowly builds the tension that is building inside of the car between the characters. Most of the tension is done very subtly until the eventual blow up.
And may I add the length of the movie is absolutely perfect! Shorts often times feel too short or too long , but this honestly feels just right.
Unlike most of Juhl's films there's nothing too graphic considering his past films but it's still pretty bleak. And the found footage style is done perfectly! Honestly one of the best found footage movies I've seen! Juhl has finally made a fan of me.
