    Not great.

    Could've been something to watch, but extremely bad acting from the main protagonist just ruins any chance at entertainment.

    Leave the location out of it

    As a Norwegian I'm offended. I can accept the lovecraftian twist which in no way relates to Norwegian folklore, but the lack of understanding of Norwegian culture, way of speaking or relation between humans are unacceptable. They have too many Norwegians on cast to let this slide. The way they speak (words used) and relate to each other makes the movie utterly unrealistic or relatable. I wish the story was strong enough to disregard its flaws in presenting an obviously unknown culture.

    Actually not bad at all!!

    What is wrong with people and all the hate on many of these reviews? The acting is actually excellent the story is just fine and moves right along. People over analyzing is the problem. Just sit back and enjoy the movie and chill out... For cripe sakes!!!

    Potential

    It had potential, but it missed one important part of this type of horror. It says it is based on the writings of Lovecraft. His writings are big on monsters, right? This entire movie has no payoff: you never get to see the monster. Fail. Otherwise good.

    Mad at myself for sticking with it

    I usually give up on movies like this after 20 minutes but it felt like it was building to something great and cosmic so I stayed the course.

    It doesn't go anywhere, nothing happens and it isn't worth your time.

    3/10 for the pretty location.
