I'm 44 and I went to see this with my two teenagers and their friend. They loved it it, thought it was really scary and the fact that everyone speaks swedish makes it even a bit scarier.

The story is about a group of Youtubers and their friends going glamping together in the swedish nature for a weekend. They've rented a place on a small island in a beautiful lake, a lake where there have been scary rumors of an old woman who died there hundreds of years ago. The rumors say she still lives there and of course none of the teenagers believe in these stories, but it makes it fun to joke about.

Some pretty good acting from the main characters and overall a good scary movie. My rating is, as a movie maybe a 5/10, but as a scary movie 7/10.

The concept and storyline in the movie was alright, the acting as well. I also found the balance between jump-scares and overall creepiness good. But after 80% of the movie, the plot took such an awful turn and everything until that point was also suddenly destroyed by this. It got too much and I felt like the creator wanted to cram in every single idea in the last ten minutes, even though it would have been so much better and more creepy if he'd just end beforehand. The characters where also quite stereotypical and there was not a single character development. The dialogue was also boring.

At the other hand, for Joakim Lundell, I think this is a great accomplishment. Even though I'm not too familiar with him, I almost feel proud. And you also have to keep in mind that this was a debut from someone who haven't done film before.

But I still hated this movie and I wouldn't recommend it.

After seeing about 2500 movies I have to say that this felt like a 80s rip-off. Boring, predictable plot. Didn't make any sence at all, we've seen it all before. Felt like it was made as a tribute to old horror movies from the 80s? Felt like I was watching friday the 13:th part 5...I watched it just to see what all the fuzz is about Joakim Lundell and well I'm not impressed. I could easily tell what was coming and there was no horror-effect on me at all. Acting was ok, but the plot between "old lovers" is also seen before. Overall It didn't bring anything new to me. It could easily had been done with more horror and scary feeling. The water sceens for example. Boring...

I grew up with Joakim Lundell, therefore I may be more sympathetic when writing this review.

This movie is overall bad, but I'm glad to say that it is so bad that it becomes entertaining. The characters are extremely flat and unlikable and the dynamic between the characters is always super tense and awkward. They also have no common sense at all and makes the stupidest decisions imaginable, which makes it a bit entertaining.

I think the idea of the story overall is pretty interesting but it wasn't very well executed.

I'm looking forward to see Joakim Lundell's next movie to see what he might improve.

I really did want to give this movie a honest chance because I like Joakim but it really was terrible.

The character development didn't exist what so ever, for all I care all of them could die and I would've forgotten about them the next scene.

The sound effect were so over the top that I almost thought some I've them were a joke. For example why would you add a jump scare sound to a small drone flying by?

The over all cheapness and lazyness it so apparent that I actually laughed at times. For example when a character almost drowns and. Lies on the bridge, why is her hair completely dry? And in the first scene, you can see the shadow of the Serbian girl when she jumps down in the grass.

The plot was so predictable that I said out loud what was going to happen next and 9/10 I was right.

My final judgement is that this is more of a YouTube video that a movie and it does not belong on the big screen. I prefer Wicca over this.
