Rare Exports (2010)
7/10
weak in some details, satisfying idea.
7 January 2011
unfortunately the idea of this film is pretty satisfying on the one hand but the storytelling is not consistent enough. the parts don't fit very well together. there were too many questions for me, that haven't been answered. too many details remained unclear. too much deus-ex-machina kind of pushing things forward finally. and moreover, the picture could be -- for my taste -- be a bit darker. and -- to make the specific turn plausible -- the persons and there behavior could be even more absurd. it is this switch of the mood, that is (a little!) disturbing -- so that i could not get rid of the feeling, that the authors wanted to be successful with this multiple genre kind of story telling and switched from horror to comedy. that didn't work! it really didn't. the switch should stay on a logical base. there's none. the switch remains surficial.

anyway, the film is not bad. it's a nice idea, placed in a great landscape. the actors are funny. you can give it a chance.
