Ronja Rövardotter (2024)
Almost there
I cried during the first episode, of nostalgia and expectations. As a kid I was a huge fan of the book and film adaption from the 80's.
I love the actor of Ronja, and Bald Per to. Not a fan of Johan Ulveson but got pleasantly suprised! He makes a good adaption and not as whimsical as I was afraid he would be with the part. He gives Bald Per some deep and really makes the best out of the role.

At first I really liked the idea of the two mercenaries ladies coming to town. "OK, they want to add more females to the plot, sure, good idea for the younger audience". But after have seen whole part one of Ronja I just feel... why are they even there? Their absence feels boring and I really don't care when they or Tjegge is in the picture.
Why is the whole Tjegge-part necessary? It feels forced and I really don't like him there!
A lot of things aren't I'm the book but I love the extending of the world of Ronja. But I wish they didn't do changes that affect the outcome. Like the whole character of Tjegge.
I love Borka and the depth they have given the hole Borka-clan. The complexity to his son, Birk, their life as underdogs, always bullied by Mattis.
The only problem is that Borka is such a strong and alive character and is more well portrait then Mattis. Mattis feels blend, not at all like the biggest robbery chief in all the forests. I understand they didn't want to make him as crazy as in the old serie, but his hole borderline disorder and impulsive anger goes missing here. He screams a little at his robbers but I don't feel it. Don't know if it's the actor or directors fault.
Ghost Stories (2017)
Seen it several times
This is one of a few masterpieces out there in both horror and in movies general. It is one of my favorites.
It's horror. It's artsy. It all goes together in the end. It makes you puzzle all the pieces together after you've seen it and it all makes sense.
Some of the horror scenes are actually creepy and gives you chill down your spine. Other scenes are just slow burn, wierd and spooky. Small details makes you wonder where we are going with this. But in the end you'll know.

It has a plot twist and I'm absolutely in love with it. So many details, like the time on all the clocks blend together and makes you go "ahaaa". I enjoyed that this hole plot was just a trip following the lead characters conscience. It was really unexpected to end up at a death bed.
You'll Never Find Me (2023)
Made an account just to review
I've never reviewed but I made an account just for that. I see a lot of horror and thriller and so much of it is either trash, blend or just forgettable.
But this movie is one of the pearls and one I will recommend. It is a slow burn but it keeps you constant on your toes. What will happen? Who is who and what is their agenda?
It is a movie you will talk about afterwards and I think about it now when I'm trying to go to sleep.
The movie starts with a man in a trailer. He is alone and a stranger, a woman, nocks at his door and seeks shelter from the storm.
This movie contains NO sexual violence or rape, which every movie with this premises does. It was a fresh wind and I really appreciate is, since horror and rape often go together and I find it lazy and sloppy writing without any adding to the story line.
Applaud to the writers, actors and everyone involved. Beautiful lightning, timing and details all the time.
