Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Amin Jacoub Detour would be a very good horror movie if it would not suggest typical American horror concept. For any horror movie fan it is obvious mix of few, well known titles. For me the suggestion goes to Texas Chainsaw and Hills have eyes. It is Norwegian-Swedish language movie, with good cast and quality production. Unlike most of the Scandinavian horror movies which are slow, this one is fast and tense, but very predictable. The plot have those well known elements which are typical: scary night, abandoned gas house with bunch of abandoned cars, turning to the nowhere road, abandoned mansion, crazy family, torture with recording, helping policeman turning to be a bad guy, victim running through wood... There is a lot of flaws, but in general it is not so bad, as many horror movies today seems to copy each other or strongly lay on some of the famous titles. What disappoints me is the elimination of bad guys that looked too easy, and all of the positive characters stayed alive (even we like them), except one fellow who acts as a collateral here. So, nothing smart or new here, too predictable, yet more fast than typical Scandinavian horror.
soloraid I was watching this movie last night with my wife, and we were excited to see another Norwegian horror movie.During the last years, we've had the pleasure of seeing good Norwegian horror movies like "Fritt Vilt I & II" and "Villmark", which were a thrill to see. I really like to see horror movies with ingredients that put the setting in an "everyday life" situation, and things that can actually happen. This movie is based on a true story, and the story is good. Some of the effects are good and a little bit scary, but most of all we spent the time watching this movie waiting to be scared.When things finally started to happen, they happened so fast and so much within short time, that it wasn't scary at all.I liked the movie after all, had a good time watching it, and my wife didn't disagree. So, I would recommend watching it, but don't bring too many pillows. You don't need to hide...
cfisler-2 Snarvein is a new horror movie that also includes the Wilhelm scream. The Wilhelm Scream was created by Sheb Wooley in 1951. Sheb Wooley was an actor that played the character Pete in Rawhide. George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino use the wilhelm scream all the time in their movies. Other movies that have the Wilhelm Scream are Under the Tuscan Sun, Date Movie, Willow, Texas, Bolt, Dragonball evolution, Tooth Fairy, Once Upon A Time in Mexico, Street Fighter, Star Trek the Motion Picture, Over Her Dead Body, Wrong Turn 3 left for Dead, The Mist, Flushed Away, History of the World Part 1, Meet the Spartans, Watchmen, Time Machine, Howard the Duck and The Green Berets. Plo keywords, Horror, Wilhelm Sercream thriller.
Aron This movie is awesome. Plain forward good kicking' entertainment. Lot's of the horror elements you like to see, makes the chills go down your neck, and then spooks and shakes you out of your mind. Some nail popping', gimp kicking', old hag busting' action! A couple is driving from Norway to Sweden to get some cheap booze. They get car trouble in the deep woods and need to seek assistance at the nearest house. Well this is where the fun begins. The protagonist have to show what shes made of when battling man pigs and other dangers to save the day (Love a good female hero!). She has a awesome boyfriend, and it's very enjoyable to see the flirt romantic scenes with the two of them. It's real cozy before all hell breaks loose. So if you want to see a straight "cut the crap" forward good entertaining horror thriller, "Snarveien(Detour)" is the way to go. Is by far one of the best movies from Norwegian cinema, cause of it's strong acting (this is unlike Norwegian film), great twist ridden script and flawless directing Enjoi!
