The Edge of the Shadows

I'm no fan of scary movies, but this one is certainly one of the better ones in the category.

It is an interesting difference from what we are used to, that we are not talking vampires, zombies, clowns et cetera, but are entering into the Inuit mythology. And that difference works really well. Especially as this includes some aspects to the characters, that allows for doubt on what is exactly going on at all time, and that is refreshing to the usually pure heroes / pure villains.

Early one, an actor is doing an annoyingly poor job, but it doesn't destroy the film as a whole.

The nature and the abandoned settlements makes a fine frame for the whole thing.

As so many films these days, it is a bit too long, and could have benefited from reduction. But it is not to an extent that I constantly checked the watch.

I guess they loose some audience here in Denmark by the title alone, as we will have a hard time even pronouncing it.

When I saw it in a provincial town, I guess that at the least half the audience was from Greenland, and that is a pity, and it deserves a wider audience.
