Review of Villmark

Villmark (2003)
6/10
A lurking evil in the Norwegian wilderness . .
13 March 2003
This is a Norwegian attempt to do a slasher/horror film. The location, the Norwegian wilderness, is a place that most people takes advantage of and are familiar with. But in this film, something evil is lurking in the dark forest.

The movie begins with a drive to the wilderness, where the tv-company Real TV are having a team building. The point is to make the tv-show leaders know how it is to survive in the wilderness without any modern gadgets. Lasse and Per are two old buddies, and it does not take too long before they discover something. The rest of the film is how this discovery will affect the rest of the team, and the situation in the middle of nowhere?

This film goes back to the slasher/stalker/there is something out there genre. Most of the story takes place at night, but you can still see some dayscenes from the beautiful Norwegian nature. The film follows a few other horror films from Norway, if you can call them horror; De Dødes Tjern, Insomnia, Mørkets øy, 22. If you are a hard-core horror fan, you might find it bloodless, and non scaring, but for the average viewer this is a great scare.
