absolutely astounding, a thriller, makes you feel intrigued!

this movie was a 10 out of 10 in my opinion. this film is currently on tour on a filmfest in europe, this movie was enjoyable for many reasons, the first i can think of is the suspense, this movie would make you grip yourself to the screen and make you not want to leave, this movie made me feal like i had to know the end or else you would not be able to think about anything else until i do! with a great young actress "Sina Langfeldt" (Solveig) who delivers an great portration of a torn person in chains at deaths door, at 15 she has a bright acting career ahead of her, Isle of darkness or Morkets Oy is a must see for anybody looking for a good movie!

Try it, you might like it.

I rather liked this film. Not too long, and genuinely creepy in parts. The low budget shows, but the film-makers don't over-stretch themselves so it works fine. The most obvious comparison is to "The Wicker Man", which has a similar premise. Sofie Gråbøl plays the lead role well, and Paul-Ottar Haga is perfect as the charismatic vicar. Definitely worth a look, more cerebral than watching a Bruce Willis film.

Absurd and annoying

One of the most annoying movies I have ever seen. The first half looks like it could develop into a good psychological thriller of frightening atmosphere. But the following changes are just full of clichés - the fanatic priest, the bigoted community, the colour red, abuse and violation of the women through the priest (and the other men looking away) as the dominating motive. But last and least cause of anger is the final chase: Every turn is a stereotype insult of the spectators. Maybe that's a cliché by myself - but the movie looks to me like a female imagination of so-called male obsessions. The first movie I voted 1 of 10.

Better than people think

Take a look at this movie and see if you like it. If you are a fan of Chris Carter - then there is a chance that you would like it.

The film shows the dark sides of a parish

A Danish teacher moves to a small island in Norway. The island has a dark secret, two schoolgirls who were said to have committed suicide. When a third girl nearly dies of the same reason, the teacher ¨becomes suspicious... Beautiful surroundings in a rather dull film, but an interesting theme with an insane priest in a small parish. Exorcism and fear of sexuality and changes. I liked the film.
