Viewing Notes
This is basically a modern giallo set in Norway with primarily English/American actors. Such an odd movie with a wild cast. That 10-15 percent of the story that wasn’t shot is evident as various threads are never closed but at least the primary story finds its ending. I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone says but I haven’t seen any of the marketing that led to that D cinema score. I’ll have to watch those trailers bc I hear footage in those doesn’t appear in the final cut.
The movie just seems to hit the necessary story beats without building any real intensity until the final sequence. It’s like people aren’t really alarmed that all these women are being killed in such gruesome fashion.
I had a private screening in one of the biggest screens at Muvico so that was nice.
