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.

An hour wasted.... It's supposed to be satire, but satire is supposed to be funny, and this is not. It is 6x10minuttes of embarrassment over why this what ever produced.

As the 'plot' is so extremely thin, it is really hard to say anything that could not be considered a plot-spoiler.

It is not that the acting is extremely bad. But the script and the dialogue the actors got to work with are so weak, and the characters so thin, that even in the best actors hands it would come out a mess.

I'm amazed that no one stopped this at birth. I guess who ever is behind it must have friends in the right places. I can not find any other excuse for its existence.

As I Dane I love this film, and the absurd grotesque but elegant humour of the two guys behind, that best can be described as where Tim Burton goes when he is most 'crazy'.

So many things in their films only 'works' if you are Scandinavian, They are frequently casting yesteryears 'superstars' of Denmark (or other Nordics) in odd roles even small ones. And a lot of other 'internal' jokes.

So for everyone else in the world, these films just seems bad, primarily seeing the superficial outer story, not getting that it is deliberate that the story line is as 'bad' as it is, it is parr of the absurdity. And this is reflected by the poor ratings in here, from people far outside the target group, that should never have wasted their time seeing -nor rating- these films.

When it was released I went to the theatre to see this five times in the first fortnight... A bit like re-seeing The Fifth Element, you just see it for the ride.
