It may be trash—but it's good trash!

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2006)

For the first time ever, a movie distributed in Norway was given the non-existing age limit of 20 years. Non-existing, because the highest age limit in Norway is 18 years—that's our age of majority. So why 20 years? What most people don't know, is that the age limit was set by NBC Universal themselves (instead of the government controlled Norwegian Media Authority, which normally takes care of these things). In other words—it's hyped through the roof.
I didn't know this, and was expecting some pretty nerve-wracking stuff. It was pretty gory, but nothing unusual compared to other similar movies. Also it was surprisingly thrilling. The effects was pretty good, and the movie was well directed (still a little involuntarily funny a few places). The acting was maybe a tad better than you would expect from a teen-slasher film. This movie also has a few turns which make it a little less predictable as other horror movies.
It may be trash—but it's good trash. I rate it for what it is, and give it a 7 out of 10.
