User Reviews

Don't.

Let me put it in few words so I don't waste your time: This movie is awful, awkward and terrible. People who has good things to say about it must be related to cast or crew. Don't watch it. Don't waste your time. Just don't.

Normally I don't feel the urge to comment on a film. But this one is surely one very bad apple among other splendid danish movies. The acting was awkward and the "spookyness" just for laughs. It is embarrassing. Only my ability to write in English keeps me from going into details.

I like the genre but leave it to Hollywood. Please.
