Large doses of scares, axes, gory scenes and scary costumes are in this terrifying "Slasher" set at a attraction park in the middle of Halloween.

Guided by Fiona, a former member of the group with whom they do not have a good relationship, the teenagers begin a night of continuous fun, with all the attractions for their full enjoyment, but cotton candy, lovely rides and lots of laughter soon turn into something completely different, as they realize they are not alone in the park, then things go wrong. A merciless , brutal killer goes bersek, terrorizing the group of friends. .Something is alive in the funhouse...something that, tonight, will turn the funhouse into a carnival of terror! .

Terror never felt so real !. The night of dreams quickly turns into a true nightmare !.

A scary and gory horror flick with a devasting and threatening series killer executing astonishing crimes. The chilling plot is simple and plain, an ordinary screenplay of hundreds of Slashers , as a masked serial murderer turns a terror-themed amusement park into his own personal playground, and the essential twisted issue results to be that the killer on the loose undertakes a criminal spree while the victims flee desperately. A disconcerting opening scene introduces you to this Slasher in which a private Halloween night in an amusement park quickly turns into a real nightmare full of blood, secrets and revenge. A typical criminal spree in which some teenagers begin a night in which fun turns into a nightmare when they realize that they are not alone in the park. Horror Park is structured through the mixture of the chilling events in the amusement park and a series of flashbacks with which the characters' past is revealed. Karusell (2023) follows the style of the recent ¨Hell Fest¨ (2018) by Gregory Plotkin and ¨Haunt¨ (2019) by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods ,of which it seems a simple copy, also dealing with a psycho-killer in masked figure going bersek at an amusement park. Al the same time, all of them bear remarkable resemblance to the classic ¨Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse (1981)¨ about four teenagers spending a night at a carnival funhose, who become next on the list of victims.

It contains dark and sinister cinematography, in fact the camera often assumes a pointedly aggressive stance, as well as screeching and eerie musical score.

The flick will appeal to horror fans, although we had already seen the plot and the situations portrayed before and better filmed .

"Karusell" takes on a genre in the Swedish film industry thats risen the last decade. Its a genre that's growing in Sweden and that hasent had many tries before.

This film actually succeeds with being scary and bringing a twisted story. Just as the Netflix film Konferansen (2023).

Its a pretty good story, with a driven and realistic manuscript. It manages to mix the feeling of being trapped and loosing controll, while being followed in a small area by a haunting killer.

The actors is pretty average according to me. They aren't super good, but they arent bad either.

I really recommend it!! A good horrorfilm!

I love the Renaissance of Swedish horror, I really do. The problem is that every movie from the past years have been done in a similar way before.

Also, the killer reveals never work. This one could be seen after the first ten minutes of the film. Even the twist they tried to add was easy to foresee.

The actors did an okay job, but the smell of poorly produced tv-drama can never be washed away from Swedish productions.

The setup is good, though: a murderer stalking teenagers in an amusement park, around Halloween, non the less. The movie didn't use all of this potential, though. The haunted house could've been used more effectively.

Just saw the movie i have been waiting for and it was really really good i loved this movie.

I didn't have any expectations because movies sucks nowadays but this was brilliant made and great cast and didn't want this movie to end.

Sweden has done it they made a great horror movie I hope they make a sequel or 2 because this was so good

The acting was good and had a lot of jump scares and i do think i actually pissed my pants a little bit

Let's hope they make a sequel to this one too many movies has been made without ending and sequels Would love to see where they will do next ............

.....

No pun intended - it's Halloween season! Well if you believe the international title - which is true of course, when it comes to the time this plays. But it is just the setting - it could have been easter too. Of course it is a lot "funnier" to have a revenge movie play out in the scary season.

The past is coming to the present to haunt ... well not us, but the people who did something wrong. That is more than fair to say. We can try to guess who the bad ... person(s) is(are) here - and by bad I mean the killer(s), not the morally questionable "victims" ... again I am trying to say or rather write as little as possible ... though I do think you will be able to figure it out yourself ... decent slasher ... weird ending if you can call it that.
