Storyline

It's the last day of school. Christian (19) and his younger sister Sofie are on their way to a party together with their friends. They've got to finish studying for their finals, take the tests themselves, and then school's out for good. The party has come just at the right time, and is just what Christian needs; right up until the point his sister commits suicide in an upstairs bathroom. Exams and graduation completed, Sofie's unexplained suicide is still affecting everyone concerned, especially Christian, who is convinced that Sofie was trying to tell him something before she killed herself at the party. But life has to go on, and before they all have to split up and go their own way Christian and his friends decide to go on their traditional trip to Sweden to celebrate midsummer for one last time.

Acting? They are reading lines lol..

Terrible Danish Horror movie, The acting is horrible, really the worst iv ever seen in a danish film i think.. The story got potentinal, But it never reaches it, It's a way to mixed story during the first half of the film, And the acting kills anything that could turn out good. Perhaps some teenage girls find this good, and scary, but seriously there is nothing frigtning about this film, it's just a lot of high noises, that are supposed to shock you.. The biggest problem of this film, is clearly, that there is nothing scary about it, it got nothing hidden in it, nothing unexplored, nothing that will ever catch your curiosity. During what should be the scariest moment of the film, During the game called something like, "The Spirit in the glass", or what ever, I found my self laughing.. -See it if you're a teenage girl, who got no idea of what good horror movies contain.

-Don't see it, if you know just the littlest about quality movies.
