Not one of my favorites

Rating: 3/10 (12 February 2016)

Technically flawless. Another example of the trend of satisfying the culturally deep-rooted links from adolescents with fantasy of British-Scandinavian origin. Makers - and now already our new young generation on the European continent- managed to forget that what was 'foreign' some 15 years ago now belongs to our cultural heritage. Gigantic marketing campaigns on all levels since the mid-90ies were a huge success. I am in my mid-forties and I'm afraid it is too late to expand my own early cultural roots, mainly based on what the brothers Grimm and HC Andersen gathered. Sure, this does not diminish the merits of adding other cultural influences. It's perfectly clear that film distributors aim for maximal revenues. However, it's a pity the high quality horror genre for adults is too small a niche to add it to the films on offer in our theaters.
