I love the Nordiv movie scene and this was looking good from the start with some good puppet animatronics and acting replete with the usual oddball Nordic liberal family values which is often found in Finnish and Swedish dramas but it all went nowhere in the end and soon became tedious and repetitive.
Yes some of it was disgusting, yes there were some deaths but not really much horror and crucially, it was not really very scary and soon became a bit of a body horror bore. Not really much of a horror movie but perhaps this is the Finnish version of horror and maybe they find it very frightening but it seems to me it was just made for shock value and by someone who has some arty pretentions but the premise of the Cuckoo in the nest plotline really fell pretty flat, pretty quickly and in the end lost a star for every 10 of the last dreary, turgid 50 minutes!
