I went into this not expecting much but I was truly happily surprised. I loved the tune. I loved the work of the director. Two and a half hours flew by with me even laughing out loud in the cinema - something I never do.
Having podcasted about the Stockholm Bloodbath (four episodes in Swedish podcast Massmördpodden) I knew the history of the event quite well. I did not expect the film to be as historically accurate as it was. I think the depiction of the historical characters was spot on.
There were some simplifications, such as not even mentioning the merchant conflict in Stockholm and all the Swedish merchants who were slaughtered in the blood bath but I can see why that was not included in the plot.
Now I just want this crew to make a film about the revolt against Gustav Wasa by Nils Dacke in Småland!
Great job! And great acting!

Being based on real events do not save this mess.
The story telling is fatally slow... the focus is on the reporters, not the killers and the plot is revealed in the first few minutes.
I could not recommend this movie to anyone, not even those actually interested in the pretty well investigated crime.
There is almost no music to speak of.
The camera work is amateurish.
Best part is probably that the demons could be fought with sex.
Overall, this film summarizes everything that is problematic with Swedish movie making; I.e. lack of sound and pacing

Yes, the acting is bad and Liams inexperience with everything regarding movies show, but I still liked this movie. It had good pacing, very interesting plot twists and Torsten Flinck's interpretation of the villains is just amazing.
The time line of the movie is a bit hard to follow and makes you wonder about the context of the discussion Liam is having with the woman.
Overall, there are some things I would like to have explained, but this is still a movie I recommend and even if it is not as famous as the first one, I think this was a better movie.
It was good that they brought Ray back as well. One funny thing to note is the lack of roles for him and Liam - which is natural for Liam, as he was in prison.
