Blutiger Trip

I've always found great enjoyment with the anthology drama both in print and on the screen, for the format often makes some great stories with unexpected twists. So when this Norwegian anthology TV show came on Netflix, I eagerly started to watch it. But quite frankly, I was disappointed. The fault simply lies with the scripts. Many of the stories have twists you'll most likely find very predictable, especially if you have seen plenty of anthologies beforehand as I had. But even the stories that are less predictable suffer from pacing that is very slow and will have you eventually urging the episode to just get on with it. I will give that the makers of this series managed to generate acceptable production values despite having a budget much lower that what you would get for an American television series. And it's not the worst anthology I have seen (that dubious honor goes to the Canadian made for TV movie "Mania"). But I would only recommend this show if you are truly desperate for an anthology show and can't find anything better to watch.

This Norwegian series is made up of six unrelated stories. Each one follows characters as things get increasingly creepy and lead to a 'twist' ending. Like another reviewer I was reminded of 'Tales of the Unexpected'... as with that series the twists aren't too surprising but that didn't spoil my enjoyment. There were a few gory moments but nothing that is likely to disturb horror fans. Inevitably some episodes are better than others but I still enjoyed them all. Many had scenes that made me wince and one genuinely gave me the chills. I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the genre; if you don't like it you won't waste too much time as the episodes are only thirty minutes long.

The series is available both in the original Norwegian, with subtitles if needed, and dubbed. I watched the first episode in English and wasn't too keen on the dubbing; so much so that when I realised there was a subtitle option I re-watched it and enjoyed it more.

This reminded me of Tales of the unexpected more so than Black Mirror but then again I am older than most on here.

Naturally with being an anthology some stories are going to be more enjoyable than others, but it was a very solid overall enjoyable horror series. I think some horror stories work much better being shorter. So the series format of these works very well and none of the stories overstay their welcome.

Another reviewer said "Twilight Zone in colour" and the way they all learn a lesson during their episode, and then get on this bus. I can really see that. I found it all very enjoyable though.

I didn't hear anything about this show. I just saw it on netflix shows. Since I love horror movies, I thought I'd give it a try. I like how the episodes are only 30 mins. It gets right to the point and doesn't drag on. Some of the episodes were better then others, I really liked Sarafice , 3 sick brothers and the old school best! I also enjoyed the intro, it's so spooky!
