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?
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
fast-paced movie
and keeps the viewer interested.
I do think it's trying too 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?
If there's something that this does have, it's gore!
We get scissor
stabbings, blood splatter (tons of it),
a bloody eye, a forklift through ones stomach and more!
A wierd drum'n'bass/techno track plays throughout
the movie, nothing
memorable, and nothing
that creates atmosphere.
This is only released in Scandinavia (Denmark,
Sweden, Norway) and
I don't suggest you pay tons of
money for this if you live outside
Scandinavia.
If you want a gory european slasher,
get Flashback
instead.
