PLOT
People turn up dead on the 22nd of each month, the police
hasn't got anything to go on except that the killer is using
a sharp weapon. When some friends encounter the serial killer
they panic and manage to kill him. But when one of the friends
disappear the next day they start wondering if the killer
really died... And if so, where is their friend?
REVIEW
This norwegian slasher hasn't got a lot going for it. The directing
is bad, well that's understandable with the low budget of $11,000,
the acting is terrible, most of the crew worked for free though,
the dialogues are very predictable and boring and the ending (if
you make it to the end) makes absolutely no sense. So why watch
this movie you wonder? Well for the heck of it! As it says on the box
cover, it's a duty to see the first real norwegian horrorfilm!
The movie is very predictable from the moment you press play until
the moment you press stop (which is likely to be about 5 minutes
later) but I have to give it credit for keeping me awake throughout
the whole movie, I was never bored since it is a fastpaced movie
and keeps the viewer interested. I do think it's trying to hard to
be a 'hip' movie though and maybe that was a reason why it was so bad?
Now to the directing, it is bad... BUT, there are some scenes which
are brilliantly directed, I especially loved the dreamsequence,
very good use of light, nice movements, and not to flashy. On the
downside, there are more badly directed scenes than good, for example
the opening scene, if you've seen this, you know what I'm on about.
Overall this is a shit movie but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy
it right?
GORE
If there's something that this does have, it's gore! We get scissor
stabbings, blood splatter (tons of it), a bloody eye, a forkcliff
driver through ones stomach and more!
SOUNDTRACK
A wierd drum'n'bass/techno track plays throughout the movie, nothing
memorable, and nothing that creates atmosphere.
BOTTOM LINE
This is only released in Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Norway) and
I don't suggest you pay tons of money for this fi you live outside
Scandinavia. If you want a gory european slasher, get Flashback
instead.
