Demigod

Wrote this review 60 minutes into the movie. I couldn't make it through the whole thing.

This movie is not my preferred brand of horror, hence the low rating. It seems like Nordic Folk Horror based on the look and foreign language use in the film.

I found it boring and very slow. You finally get a glimpse of what's going on around 40 minutes into the film, and at this point I was pretty disappointed that it turned out to be a story that's been told a million times before and is in no way novel or scary.

The movie also has a few gory parts, which again is not my preferred kind of horror. It's just gross, not scary. There's also several scenes in the movie that would have been much more intense and creepy if it had been filmed at night instead of before dusk. Overall just felt kind of cheesy to me.

If you like movies about old folklore gods and movies that move super slowly, you may enjoy this film.

No pun intended - also no child of mine of course. Well you may ask yourself, where you may have heard that or if that plays any role in this movie ... probably better not to go down that road. Or back to the village you are from - wait that was advice for the main characters in this movie. Not that they would listen anyway ... but what horror movie character does? You wouldn't have a movie if they did.

The mixture between languages is not helping - and it is not about the subtitles .. it is about the acting ... well let's call them "abilities" some of the people here display. Do not hold it against the movie if you can.

Story is not really that .. exciting either. But if you have a soft spot for horror movies ... well you are getting some nice setup and cinematography ... plus some violence and blood effects that are not that bad ... you decide if that is enough for you.

We were fooled into thinking this movie was worthy of the 6.3 rating it had when we discovered it, but clearly this is not an honest reflection of the film, because this is one TERRIBLE movie. Unbelievably boring and slow. The acting wasn't too terrible (though the one-eyed witch was pretty awful, everyone else was merely mediocre), and the story could have been a decent one, but instead they ruined what could have been a suspenseful ancient tale. In addition, pretty much every scene had the characters do at least one incredibly stupid thing. Eye-rolling level stupid things. The music track was entirely inappropriate - slow and melodic instead of anything that built up some kind of suspense, and it would have fit better over a 1970's romance film. If you care about how you spend the next couple of hours, move on from this fake-review-fest and find something worth your time.

First off, lazy and cheap. Horrible acting, writing was somewhat OK in the last 3 minutes of the first 20 minutes and went downhill from there. One character that barely spoke English in the beginning due to being a German ended up with a full British English accent half way through. All cosmetic attributes are off the $10.00 Halloween rack including the big budget one, whos fake plastic mask teeth waggled outside the mask where you could see the humans teeth inside.

Even the story was cheap and it seemed like they just started making it up on the fly towards the end.

The one thing I did like, is that several people did sharpen some sticks when they found themselves in the forest being 'hunted'. Will not have to shout at your television... 'omg someone sharpen a stick already'.

My main problem with this mediocre film is their bad German. It's like they used Google Translate without bothering to consult a native speaker. Also, some acting was bad. Some was good though.
