We're used to many good movies from Denmark, but if you believe all Danish movies are good, i can assure you and comfort you; they ren't!

There just as many stupid and awful Danish movies as in other countries, we just don't very often get to see them.

But now we have got such streaming offers like Netflix and Amazon Prime, so every little nasty and horrendous movie gets big distribution.

This movie has an OK script until you realize it's over the top stupid. The last part of the movie goes fast downhill. And you are left thinking WTF!?

You won't miss anything avoiding this, maybe just an annoyingly bad movie and - you'll also lose the faith that all Danish movies are good. Well, you were wrog.

No pun intended - the movie starts off quite strong .. and shows from the start this is not for the faint of heart! So if you are sensitive, if you are not able to stomach, not just violence shown with blood, but with ferocity ... maybe this movie is not for you. There is a lot going on and I reckon it does show the depths a "misguided" human can fall into.

And yes I know I am being nice with my description. And I am not the parent of the individual - how would I react if I were? Well I know I would try everything to help the victims, because however much you may say blood is thicker than water ... we are all humans. We all are someones son or daughter. Why do I say this and make a point of it? Well you will understand if you watch the movie.

Unfortunately the police seem to have missed that point. You would have assumed that if someone knows of the existence of a killer, you would not let them ... well you would at least have them under surveillance ... the very least. So suspend your disbelief ... and don't be shocked ... actually you very likely will be shocked! No prisoners taken ...

The actors perform their roles perfectly, but they have nothing to perform: all the characters are devoid of character and represent ordinary people, the director does not reveal them. There is no conflict, the heroine's family problems are almost invisible. The film is a small work without any special plot twists, which does not arouse interest.

There is nothing in the picture except the presence of a maniac and well-shot scenes. Hallucinations of the main character are rare and do not carry an explicit meaning.

The film does not evoke an emotional response from the viewer, except, perhaps, the desire to finish watching it.

There are authors who, being ignorant, create films that evoke various emotions in the audience, but this film does not make any emotional impression - it's a waste of time! I don't remember a single movie that didn't have real feelings!

I couldn't watch this movie to the end.

Great cast and acting... I really liked the movie. Some great surprising scenes. I just wished, that the movie was longer. It was rather short time for exploring the plots, character development and story. Som3how shortened a little too much. Again, It was good as a movie, but I think it could have been GREAT as a series(Really Great), as there was so many unexplored opportunities. So if the director and producer reads this, then please make a series out of it. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the movie. It can be recommended to watch it, if you like serial killer stories/movies/series. Would have given a better score, than 7, if the movie was longer.

Keep in mind, I am in no way a professional film critic. The other reviews mention bad acting but I don't think the acting is bad, the ending has the best acting in my opinion. The script/dialogue is a bit boring, but I guess it's realistic. The ending is confusing and unrealistic and a bit anticlimactic, and left me feeling cheated. I don't think it could have happened in real life in any way, and the aftermath of the scene is not mentioned or shown. The overall storyline and plot is nothing special. Visually and lighting wise it is a beautiful film. Overall I did enjoy it but I will not be rewatching it.
