Better than people think

Take a look at this movie and see if you like it. If you are a fan of Chris Carter - then there is a chance that you would like it.

Don't try it

A thriller should be exciting and suspenseful - and this isn't. Sofie Gråbøl is over-acting and the direction doesn't work at all.

The film shows the dark sides of a parish

A Danish teacher moves to a small island in Norway. The island has a dark secret, two schoolgirls who were said to have committed suicide. When a third girl nearly dies of the same reason, the teacher ¨becomes suspicious... Beautiful surroundings in a rather dull film, but an interesting theme with an insane priest in a small parish. Exorcism and fear of sexuality and changes. I liked the film.

absolutely astounding, a thriller, makes you feel intrigued!

this movie was a 10 out of 10 in my opinion. this film is currently on tour on a filmfest in europe, this movie was enjoyable for many reasons, the first i can think of is the suspense, this movie would make you grip yourself to the screen and make you not want to leave, this movie made me feal like i had to know the end or else you would not be able to think about anything else until i do! with a great young actress "Sina Langfeldt" (Solveig) who delivers an great portration of a torn person in chains at deaths door, at 15 she has a bright acting career ahead of her, Isle of darkness or Morkets Oy is a must see for anybody looking for a good movie!

Norwegian film disappoints again

In the mediocre world that is Norwegian Cinema, Mørkets Øy fits in well with its token plank actors, amateur cinematography (it is SOO obviously not night in that last boat sequence...did they use blue overhead paper on the lens or something?) and contrived "cool" story. The only good thing in the film is the locations, so cudos to the location scout. If you want to see a good Norwegian film, watch "Junkmail" instead.
