Intended to be a hybrid slasher comedy the film fails at both. There is nothing wrong with the idea to make a cute and witty horror film, but the filmmakers need to have the talent to pull it off. In this case, the writing is to bland one wants to cry. It's neither funny nor scary and the pacing is so slow and ineffective, one loses interest after the first few minutes. Reading a few of the previous reviews, I get a strong feeling many of these must sadly be friends or favours from people close to the filmmakers. An addition, the Swedish critics must have been offered gold or others merch to write these favourable reviews. Or perhaps they just have such poor taste.
