The expectations was.a bit elevated after have read a number of reviews. However, Terrifyer 3 delivered more than expected for its genre and left nothing for the imagination.
The plot is partly a bit inconsistent and the story would have strengthened if the director would have given it an extra focus. This could have awarded this movie 10/10 as a hoodie flick.
However, it is probably not the plot that the audience is focusing on when they decide to watch a "slasher" that is trimmed like a double turbo charged V8 engine.
The violence is graphic, cruel and revolting that makes the audience either laugh hysterically to the portrayed madness or leave the cinema.
I left the cinema with the same feeling as when I watched Evil Dead back in the 80s: horror genre will not be the same after this and how will any director be able to top this?

Ever since Sweden became the Nordic country of taking the forefront position of producing criminal flicks e.g. Beck and the Millennium Trilogy, Denmark needed to prove that they are just as capable as their neighbour. And surely, this motion picture delivers everything that is expected from a Scandinavian criminal story. Still, the weakness of this movie is more linked to the plethora of criminal series that is being broad casted every evening on TV, providing the same level of entertainment as watching another episode of Criminal Minds. What could have provided more value to this movie is if the actors would have given more character to their roles. In essence, this is where Sweden has excelled, at least in the above-mentioned titles. One thing is for certain: Denmark can deliver just as well as Sweden, considering the fact that a Dane directed the Millennium Trilogies.
After numerous releases of Zombie movies that have reached the screen since the successful remake of Dawn of the Dead, it was an enjoyment to view something that finally reached the level of "Worth while watching". No, La Horde delivers nothing new to the genre itself; however, the idea of making a Zombie horror in conjunction with an action driven thriller makes it even more entertaining. This time, even the Zombie characters gives the audience a fright, a trait that viewers have not been too spoiled with in recent years. The same goes to the actors' performance where the role characters are portrayed in a convincing manner, which all together is well above the standard of any peer Zombie movie. It is definitely a recommendation to any fan of this genre that has not been fulfilled since the launching of that remake that was mentioned in the beginning
