Review of Villmark

Villmark (2003)
4/10
No emotion, no atmosphere
28 August 2007
The story is crude - but hey we're in a horror movie. There is enough suspense in it - but the actors can't contribute any depth to the story. The conflicts between the members of the group are not made visible - but I forgot we're in a horror movie. Photographically, the film is a disaster. You can either do a horror movie with fully artificial pictures or you do it the pseudo-documentary way. This film seems to sit on the fence. It has the look and feel of a TV production. What a waste. It is set in a remote part of Norway. The film should make the viewer aware of this remoteness. It does nothing like this. It is far too hectic. You need longer shots to build up the right atmosphere. Outside of the hut but also inside. What's wrong with a moment of reflection, anyway?
