- I liked the cinematography, I really enjoyed the sound too.
- I loved that comedic character. You know who I'm talking about.
- It takes quite some time to establish itself. 45 minutes for an 87-minute slasher seems like too much time to me.
- It doesn't explore its biggest mystery enough (the figures).
- It doesn't delve deep enough into most of its characters and gives a terrible conclusion to the central romance (the boat scene is ridiculous).
- Most of the deaths are good, with some creative imagination.
- Still, I'm trying to figure out why 20/30 teenagers wouldn't come together to take down a man with a knife.
- The main character's arc is unexpected and, in a way, interesting.
- It's not a terrible slasher to start with, but it's very similar to everything that has already been done, with the potential for much more if it had explored the local folklore behind the plot.
"Rupintojelis" is a slasher film with an unoriginal plot, being one more version of the many that exist of the classic "Friday the 13th", the script of this film is full of clichés that are absurd, only innovating with a protagonist who is annoying but whose character is quite unusual within the attitudes that he presents to the situation experienced, being an egoist who goes in counterpart to the good final girl or the young man who fights for the protection of his friends. The deaths are silly and only a couple become realistic. The performances are good but none really stand out. The cinematography looks like something out of a cheap 2000's TV movie. The music composed for the film does not attract attention and goes unnoticed from how ordinary it sounds. A slasher with some good moments but fails to be innovative.
Well no pun intended - this is about a figure/statue ... and we as viewers know that it would be bad to mess about and with those. Well the teenagers seem oblivious ... and they have to be ... how else would we have a movie to watch right? It does take a while to get us there though. But we do get to know the characters that we might or might not care about.
Some good gore and blood effects for sure ... and an ending that I did not see coming ... at least not like that. Maybe it is a bit too much .. far fetched and all that. But it does work and highlights character trait(s). Acting is ok as far as I can tell, though if you watch in original language like I do ... well most/many will have to rely on subtitles ... worked for me.

This may have lost a lot of the nuance in the dubbing, because what came across was not that great. It is graduation, and they will all be going their separate ways, but Marius manages to get a place where they can travel to have a party/rave. At the forest cottage, there are wooden statutes, but none have eyes. One suggested perhaps they are not meant to see. There is a lot of drinking and drugs, and four wind up in a sauna, where they get trapped and die from the heat. And because they used some of the statutes for firewood, that may be why. And along comes a masked slasher, with a hatchet, killing quite a few. Others run to their cars, and they set off the car alarm. More deaths. Marius escapes in a boat with two others, they quarrel and Marius is left in the boat with a classmate he shared a kiss with. He thought that might be the start of something wonderful, but she tells him he is probably still alive since he is so boring, even the killer won't kill him. And perhaps due to the drinking and drugs, others make the worst possible choices when faced with certain death. Nothing new in the slasher movie, and much to not care about.
I liked this movie, despite it being subtitled and some of the meaning undoubtedly lost in translation.
Its a youthful horror tale, with diverse characters and a decent backstory.
The majority of it is filmed at night on a small farm with a few cabins and a barn.
The story involves a high school group celebrating graduation and the interpersonal dynamics of the friends. This is the subtext of the slasher plot-- the interpersonal relationships determine who survives.
That is what we conclude at the end of the film. Its a striking ending and this separates it from other teen slasher movies.
I gave it a solid 5 stars.
