It makes a change for me to watch a Netflix Thursday film on a Thursday. I
ought to do it more often.
This is a Swedish slasher film, added to Netflix just in time for Halloween. A
company is going to build a shopping mall just outside a small Swedish village
called Kolarängen. It's a real village, check it out. They promise to bring
prosperity to the community, but the villagers aren't persuaded. A few days
before the building begins the company's nine employees arrive for a
last-minute conference. They stay at a holiday camp made up of small cabins. I
wonder if this holiday camp really exists. They're given relaxing activities to prepare them
for their work, such as building a raft and sack jumping.
Not all of the employees agree with the building. Some are shocked to find out
that the farmer wasn't paid for the land that will be used. Is that
legal? Signatures were forged to get planning permission. But someone wants
revenge. A masked figure is prowling the holiday camp, slaughtering the
occupants.
It's a reasonable film, but I was disappointed by the lack of character
development. Some are young, some are old, some are men, some are women, but
they're hardly distinguishable. I couldn't sympathise with the victims. Some
of my readers might like the film. Give it a try. It's worth watching at least
once.
