El cadáver

I think this movie is one you will love or not. This isn't a slasher screaming teen movie - it takes watching and some ability to think a little.

The unusual story lends itself to the moody atmosphere of the production, with characters - excellently portrayed by the actors - that really suck you in to their world.

Well worth seeing.

It's a nice timepass, but dont' expect too much. Everything is pretty much predictable. There are a few nice twists and I don't regret watching it, but I expected more. The characters are not very likable and at times even annoying. But I did like the post-apocalyptic scenery and the settings. Overall the plot and the idea behind it was not that bad. Just too predictable.

The hotel and depiction of the post apocalyptic world drips with great production values, but it stumbles with its story telling.

Despite it's short run, the movie drags quite a lot in the first half and ends in an anticlimactic way.

As a fan of post apocalyptic stories this should have been a solid film for me, but when taking in to consideration the overall lackluster delivery i am rather disappointed.

A common problem with Norwegian films in my experience and a quite obvious issue with Cadaver, is that the acting was at best average. Apart from Thorbjørn Harr's portrayal of Mathias and Stig Frode Henriksen as Hans the robotically delivered dialogue from the actors gave the impression that they were merely reading the script in stead of actually performing.

The story itself is rather solid, but if you have any experience with post apocalyptic films, then you don't have to get far before figuring out what "the big secret" is. So i wouldn't recommend going in with an expectation of being surprised by any plottwists.

Acting, cinematography, effects and everything else was pretty good. What absolutely slaughtered this movie was the writing. This movie is so full of plot holes, obviously bad decisions by characters, badly scripted characters and a terribly predictable plot.
