Nicholas B While it doesn't dive as much into the paranormal quite as much as I was hoping for, I found it an amazing movie that I would recommend to anyone trying to get into Norwegian cinema. The story had me hooked from beginning to end and I thought the pacing was incredible well done, along with the absolutely beautiful cinematography and score. I can't wait to watch it again and I hope that you have enough interest to watch it also. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/23 Full Review Monsol E Was expecting more of a paranormal horror story than a murder mystery, but I had a good time. The cast was charismatic and made up for the slow pace...tho it was obvious what happened early on. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member love it , I watch it twice :3 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe Norwegian finest film our in the terms of horror. Great cast and spellbinding story, including occultism, psychoanalysis and telepathy. Inspired by great thinkers, and Fritz Lang. The cliche cabin in the woods, with the small pond of dead bodies at first sight, but it goes way deeper with a rock-solid script. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This horror-noir is a "must see" for everybody with a liking for classic cinema--A Seriously creepy little film...with gobs of atmosphere!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member For a classic ghost story movie this ranks right up there with the 1944 movie The Uninvited and the classic 1961 film The Innocents.
