Firstly, I actually had some high expectations for this movie. It has been featured in the media heavily over the last months before it's release. And looked really interesting in the trailer.
How wrong I was. There was 4 horror scenes in a HORROR MOVIE. Still, even though the movie is under 2 hours long, that is criminal. None of the scenes are scary. It's the most basic format of jumpscares that we have seen in any other scary movie, and the directors didn't dare to go all out with the few scary scenes they had. What I mean by that is that before the so called jumpscare itself happens, the director allows you to be prepared for what is going to occur.
And the acting... man this was heavily cringe a lot of times. It felt like the actors didn't try. And the story is all over the place and can't find it's footing at any time during the movie. The American actress at least tries, and outshines the Norwegian actos even though her performances is not any good at all.
Sorry, but if you expected a horror movie I have to say this is a mild thriller only.
