omendata

I usually like most of what comes out of the Norsk/Swede/Finsk movie scene but this was a complete disappointment, almost like it was made in the 1980's for viewers with a limited threshold for entertainment as it seems most of the reviews over a 5 are all one review shills once again

This movie has really bad acting from the main female lead; where do they dig these so called actors from? Presumably following the Hollywood tickbox agenda once again methinks; even the recent Black Crab movie beats this one and it was a bit of a stinker too, even though the fantastic Noomi Rapace headlined it but at least she can act, so it was not a total loss but this one will just waste an hour and a half of your time it was so bland and formulaic with some truly dreadfully bad fight scenes.

Add to this some really boring action scenes and a completely unfathomable ending just makes this movie a complete waste of time!

I am a big fan of 70's horror and this is one I must admit I have never seen, so settled down last night with great anticipation and I was not disappointed.

It may very well disappoint the usual crash, bang, wallop CGI generetion as can be seen in some of the 2k reviews on here but judging it on its artistic merits and effectiveness as a ghost story, it does evoke a very spooky atmosphere perfectly and keeps the viewer interested, which so many recent ghost story movies fail abjectly to attain.

Great acting from the cast along with some simple but effective special effects goes to prove you do not need masses of CGI to evoke a good ghost story.

Well above average with a good 7 hatchets out 10 on this old masterpiece!
