From Darkness

Was looking forward to seeing this movie for a while now. After 10 minutes I already realized how bad and forced the acting is. Not scary whatsoever Boring pointless dialogs that leads nowhere, over exaggerated reactions, . The storyline is as bad as the acting, you keep watching the same scenes and scenarios over and over and nothing happens, this movie is so extremely boring that my girlfriend falled asleep twice during this snooze fest of a movie. One of the worst if not the worst movie in 2024, the writer of this movie need to find a new career. Im always amazed that bad movies like this can be produced. If you really want to bore yourself to sleep then watch this movie.

No pun intended - I actually should have asked the filmmakers that were there what they did about the shoe issue ... so much snow .. I can only imagine how uncomfortable it must have been during the shooting. But since I do not have an answer for that I'd like to concentrate on the movie, the performances and the cinematography.

Though I will add a last thing about the makers not having planned to shoot in snow ... but it happened to have snow where they decided to shoot. Lucky in the end, even if they didn't feel it at the beginning of the shoot. What was there from the start: a concept ... the main character and his issues and point of view ... the viewer is treated as partner to the filmmakers ... they give you something and you are able to make up your own mind ... what happened and how did it happen? So see it through his eyes ... but experience it through other people too ... who is on top of things? I love the ending too ... it may have some minor pacing issues within ... and you may not always agree on character choices ... but suspend your disbelief and go with it ...

Not what i was expecting.

Ive been looking forward to this since the trailer got out. Swedish film is creating some extremely good movies, but Swedish horror is rarley good.

So it has a pretty high rating and i expected pretty much. And yes, the acting is pretty good by the majority of the actors. And its a film you could deep dive into theories really. But your able to do that simpley because its a confusing movie, with a poor script.

The plot is good and abit unique at the beginning, but "Ur Mörkret" fails again and again with the basics of storytelling. The plot lacks logic and explanations in big parts of the plot. Surley the ending explain some of the questions during the film, but its a horror film that has a very open minded plot. And sure if you like those types of films your gonna like this one. But this time i didnt really think it fits the style of the film.

Its not that scary. Contains very few scary moments, its the classical cheap jumpscares that get you every time. During my watch i figured out atlest 20 more excited ways to to scare the audience.

Its worth the time definitely, but don't expect too much.
