Icelandic "Very Bad Things"?

[Bod · 6/10 · 7 February 1999]

A party goes slightly havoc, and death shows its grim face. Of course can no-one think straight, and instead things go all wrong... saw this film as the last of my films during the Göteborg Filmfestival of 1999. and it was quite a pleasant ending. No surprises in the film, but its always a pleasure to see actionfilms _not_ of Hollywood origin. (Recognizing oneself on lots of places from a beautiful vacation on Iceland was a sweet bonus!)

This movie is unbelievably bad. Bad, bad movie.

Avoid this movie if you possibly can. That's all I can say, and all you need to hear. If you're looking for a movie with a terrible, terrible plot and even worse acting then don't see this movie, rent an adult-video instead. There you might find beautiful chicks, but here you find only talentless actors trying to stumble blindfolded through a maze of stinky writing and even smellier tension-build up. If you want something boring see 'Ishtar' (you'll laugh at how bad that is. 'Sporlaust' makes you cry).

Be warned.

This is the laimest production in the Icelandic film history. It's so bad that it makes you wonder if the filmakers should make movies at all. The screenplay is so bad, that instead of being interesting, it's hillarious. It´s incredible that a grown man could ever come up with something as stupid as the the screnplay is; The plot dosen´t hold water, and it's obvious that the plot has gone without a trace. The director dosen't seem to know much about film making. The actors seem to be embarreshed, and the film's score is completly out of sync and it´s very poorly written. In short: Be warned.
