Bloodride

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.

After reading some reviews here I was a bit surprised of the low ratings. I actually really enjoyed this serie and found it hard to stop watching. Yes there is a lot of blood and deaths but every episode has such a surprising element in it.

The rating of Bloodride is currently at 6.7 at the moment. Surprisingly really low, with average episodes rating 6. Bloodride is actually pretty cool. It's not an extra, big budgeted nor have high quality writing. But it's still amusing, i really enjoyed watching it. And there's always a "twist" ending that was unexpected (at least for me). The story is "different" and simple, It's not super gory or intense. It's worth checking out. Definitely underrated, on IMDb level, Bloodride should at least get a 7.8

With Norwegian movies and shows it's really a hit or miss, especially the dialogue can seem too rehearsed. I really enjoyed this one, although many episodes are more thriller/psychological than horror but still right up in my alley. I really appreciate that they chose to cast colored, talented actresses like Sanna in ep 5 which is rare in Norwegian productions. I hope to see her in many more shows as she's truly a great actress!

No idea why the bus is involved, but this is an anthology of dark stories, a bit similar to "Inside no. 9" (though not quite as good). The genre varies nicely: from classic supernatural horror to psychological thriller. It's not exceedingly gory, and doesn't have jump scares.

Karakterdrap, I thought, was wonderful. For the other episodes something that makes the rating 7 rather than 8 or 9 is that some of the twists are a little half-baked. First, some of them become obvious a little earlier than the plot suggests they should. Second - and most important - after we see the twist, there's not enough time and context given to fully appreciate it. It's missing the foreshadowing that would make you go "oooh... that explains that little detail earlier". At the same time it doesn't spend any time after the twist to show the alternative side of the story that we hadn't seen (it's usually just given in one or two sentences), so I'm often left with questions that I wish were explored a little more.
