Cadaver

Not bad Don't wait to see a horror masterpiece... Such is so hard to find in our days It has an easy going plot, some surprising moment, without making any difference to the over production of only by the name calling horror movies

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.

Cadaver followers a family attending a show at a hotel in a post-apocalyptic world. There is no stage for performances but instead, each actor creates interesting stories enticing audiences to follow them around the hotel. Things change as people begin to go missing and the family find themselves in a horrifying situation in which they must escape. The premise of this movie is really creative and cool but the movie doesn't anything better than alright throughout. As more of the mystery of the theatre is uncovered by the protagonist, the story becomes a whole lot more intriguing with further creative aspects pushing the story beyond the extent it seemed to have to stop the movie from being really great. A very suspenseful horror film with a great story behind it.

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.

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.
