Truly Dreadful Film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This is the second time I've come back to a movie only to write it a review. First time was "The Grudge", to which I felt obligated to pay proper respect and give a praising review as of which it was worthy! This time - the complete and utter opposite. This is the first time I've felt the need to rate a movie 1.It took me a while to get my hands on this movie. The waiting made me move from "anticipating" to "anxious". My, did I waste my time... I don't like trashing somebody else's art, as people obviously worked hard in order to create this film. I just honestly find it hard to understand how they spent 750k dollars and came up with, well, this.The acting? I'm pretty sure this was the first gig for the actors and actresses here, though I didn't check. They might have tried, but their low level simply wreaked to high heaven... The story? Not original, not intriguing, not interesting and not good. The script? Predictable to the level of it being preposterous. Many times you could just guess what was about to happen or what a certain character was about to say. The ending? No twist, no new realizations, not a thing.I honestly don't mean to sound condescending or uppity, I'm not one to talk or pass judgement as I've never worked on a movie and have never published any piece of art, written or visual. However, this "movie" felt like someone woke up one day and thought "Hey, why don't I make a movie?" he then proceeded to get some friends and their friends to write it, shoot it, be in it and write the music for it. And of course, to go on IMDb and rate it 10 so people would think it was worth the watch.Painfully unprofessional. Next time, kindly show us a little more respect than that. Everything here is just my opinion (though most other reviews I've just read for it agreed with me, and weren't as nice about it), but if you ask me - I say stay the HELL away from this "movie".ps If you suspect me of being in anyway biased, you're absolutely right. I'm biased by the fact that I've watched this. If you wish to prove me wrong - rent the movie, by all means. Just make sure you imaging me laughing and saying "I told you so!" when the credits roll. Cheers :)

sorry but this film as got to be 1 of the worst ever made,how this ever got through production i will never no.the acting is absolute pants the story is crap if there was ever 1 at all.Don't waste your time with this rubbish.whats happening out there, are people trying to live off the past excellent films such as the girl with the dragon tattoo,come on Sweden you've now got the limelight why waste your time with the likes of this,its absolute pants.i am a avid fan of the horror genre but i'm sorry to say but this film lacks just about everything,i don't think there was any thought at all put into this film,you know whats going to happen well before it actually does and when anything does happen you just sit back and think ye ye!sorry but its absolute rubbish don't waste your time.

This film is actually a really nice tribute to 80's slasher. I cannot believe all the negative critics on this site. A wonderful tribute to Psycho! I hope this movie is going well in the world and the film-makers continue to make genre films in Sweden. I loved Evil Ed and this is not worse, just a different kind of movie. The end sequence is absolutely fantastic. Would love to know how the scene was done? Otherwise, I think the acting was OK, but the film feels dubbed? The photo is brilliant and it is a fantastic environment. Where is this hotel? The story was a bit predictable but there is a nice twist at the end. The murders are cruel, and the makeup effects are brilliant. To be an extreme low-budget film, I think it's fantastic!

I had high expectations after reading some reviews stating this is better then "Let the right one in" and other Great Swedish horror flicks. I also saw the usual "Worst movie ever" type reviews(the ones no one takes seriously) so I figured they were just trolls. At the time I didn't know the 9-10 votes were shills/trolls also, but I figured out all you have to do is click profiles and 9 times out of 10 the trolling voters have no other reviews(other then the flame) under their belts. And this is true for all IBMD movies after doing some research.Now that we have picked apart the IBMD system so some of you newer members(like myself) can tell real reviews from fake lets get onto the movie: First of all, those who read my reviews know that I usually tend to look at the better qualities of a movie and not get bogged down on flaming it or trying to sound like an "Armchair expert" spouting spoilers left and right which only makes one sound pretentious(and especially stupid when the movie just goes over these pseudo-intellectuals heads) I am going to start off saying the movie isn't all that bad, but it isn't that great either. It kind of rides the middle. The Hotel that the movie was shot in was pretty creepy and a great place for a horror movie, but the 80's decor makes it all kind of distracting and you wonder why they didn't put a little more into the background to make the place a little more menacing. Also, I don't know if its bad acting or bad accents(I suspect a bit of both), but its noticeably bothersome at times. Again, usually I couldn't care less about stuff like bad acting as long as the movie works, I mean it is definitely a B-movie, but there is just too many little things in this movie that make it bad in a bad way.Being the Horror expert I am, I have to say that the movie doesn't 'totally' fail for genre fans like myself. My chief complain as mentioned is I think the script just needed a few more characters(like maybe a cook, and a janitor) to add some mystery to the movie to keep us guessing about the killer. That would've locked the viewer in his seat especially because this movie doesn't use a lot of gore and tries to scare us using a more cerebral methodology. Don't get me wrong there are a couple gory shots that work, but its just not enough to save this movie. I'm hoping the bad reviews this film gets doesn't deflect the director/writer from making more movies because the script definitely had potential to be so much more, For being an honest, independent effort I give it 5 out of 10. Not great and better then the rest like one side is saying, but also not "The worst movie ever" like the other side is saying. Just an "ok" movie that could've been better had they put more thought and care into it. That is as honest and unbiased as it gets like all my reviews.
