Weekend Trip: Schrei der Verdammten

I'm 44 and I went to see this with my two teenagers and their friend. They loved it it, thought it was really scary and the fact that everyone speaks swedish makes it even a bit scarier.

The story is about a group of Youtubers and their friends going glamping together in the swedish nature for a weekend. They've rented a place on a small island in a beautiful lake, a lake where there have been scary rumors of an old woman who died there hundreds of years ago. The rumors say she still lives there and of course none of the teenagers believe in these stories, but it makes it fun to joke about.

Some pretty good acting from the main characters and overall a good scary movie. My rating is, as a movie maybe a 5/10, but as a scary movie 7/10.

After seeing about 2500 movies I have to say that this felt like a 80s rip-off. Boring, predictable plot. Didn't make any sence at all, we've seen it all before. Felt like it was made as a tribute to old horror movies from the 80s? Felt like I was watching friday the 13:th part 5...I watched it just to see what all the fuzz is about Joakim Lundell and well I'm not impressed. I could easily tell what was coming and there was no horror-effect on me at all. Acting was ok, but the plot between "old lovers" is also seen before. Overall It didn't bring anything new to me. It could easily had been done with more horror and scary feeling. The water sceens for example. Boring...

This movie sucks ass. There is no reason a movie would lack in almost every department.

You could tell how the movie would end from the get go. The characters are bland and stupid. The plot was bland. The pacing was to fast to create an atmosphere resulting in that the jumpscares felt out of place and not shocking. They felt like they needed to include a gore scene to shock the viewers, Jocke lundell even talked about this scene and that it would be too shocking for some people to watch. It wasnt...

The only good thing about this movie was the camera work. But that dosent excuse this mess.

Jocke if you're reading this: Alla kommer ha glömt bort denna filmen om ett halvår.

The concept and storyline in the movie was alright, the acting as well. I also found the balance between jump-scares and overall creepiness good. But after 80% of the movie, the plot took such an awful turn and everything until that point was also suddenly destroyed by this. It got too much and I felt like the creator wanted to cram in every single idea in the last ten minutes, even though it would have been so much better and more creepy if he'd just end beforehand. The characters where also quite stereotypical and there was not a single character development. The dialogue was also boring.

At the other hand, for Joakim Lundell, I think this is a great accomplishment. Even though I'm not too familiar with him, I almost feel proud. And you also have to keep in mind that this was a debut from someone who haven't done film before.

But I still hated this movie and I wouldn't recommend it.

I liked the content and the plot. Were a few jump scares but the adrenalin wasn't through the roof like I want it to be on a horror movie. For the low budget you seem to have squished every penny which is a good thing. Love the plot twist, wouldn't see that coming at all. The actors were amazing. I love Joel Lützow since before but all of them were great. So all in all , I give the movie a 7 which is because I think it miss a few details. I want to be scared when I walk out of the movie theater which I wasn't. But I look forward so bad to see what you come up with next. And for the producer, such a good work. I praise you.
