How sad is this?

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A frightening Norwegian Thriller8/10 Author: Ajit Tiwari from India 26 December 2011Scandinavian cinema has always been a different genre. the depiction of character, the screenplay, subtleness etc. are always top notch.A perfect example is Villmark (2003) AKA Dark Woods a creepy Norwegian horror or more than a horror.Set in the Norwegian landscape, a TV crew and their fanatic boss want to shoot a show to survive in the wilds which will eventually make a mark in Reality television history. He (Gunnar) has gathered a production team of four people. The team goes to Gunnar's log cabin where he used to spend summers as a kid. And soon the crew has to survive the thrill, horror, suspicion and mistrust.The choice of the cast is fantastic and we see some amazing performances which will keep the adrenaline up and frightening atmosphere almost up to the mark.However there are some resemblances with "The Blair witch project", but it's original and scary enough, screenplay is far from clichés.European movies more open to interpretation and not made for certain targeted audiences. It's up to the viewer, to read between the lines and understand the happenings.An astonishing thriller.My Vote 7.1/10

I think "Villmark" is an OK Norwegian horror movie. Kristoffer Joner is the best actor in Norway!!! I can see that there are someone that doesn't get the ending. It is the guy that lets them in to the forest that kills people. It is he that is in the window on the picture. Anyways, it isn't a very groundbreaking movie, but it works. The acting isn't extraordinary, but it rarely is in horror movies... But personally, before I saw this movie I was very "shaky" because everyone said it was very scary, but after the movie ended, I just sat there. Is this all?? But it won't hurt you if you see it, so I think that not only Norwegians, but also other Europeans should see this movie.

Villmark is a low budget horror movie from Norway similar to "Blair Witch...". The movie is based more on suspense than gore, unlike for example Evil Dead 1. The story is not very original and deep, we've seen it a couple of times before. The actors do a good job (Eva Röse is hot!) and I could relate to the characters (maybe because I'm a nordic guy). They are not totally stupid like in some bad Hollywood horror flicks.There are some quite scary moments, but the ending could have had more punch after all that build up. Also I didn't get the final twist with the guy by the road. Who was he? A nazi? Overall, I liked this movie better then BWP. Rating 7 / 10.

Keep away from that water! This movie kept me wide awake all time during it's playtime. Villmark is one of the best Norwegian movies ever, this is a real thriller...All you people that don't understand Norwegian should start crying instant, because you don't know what you're missing!
