Jagtsæson (2019)
Let the cringe session begin...
.. but not in a funny way. This better be written by a 4 year. The story, characters and "funny episodes" are beyond lame. Don't waste your time on this.
Splice (2009)
This is how a horror movie should be IMO!! Don't look for your political moral/ethic answers here ;)
With no expectations i sat down to watch "Splice". I was happily surprised to feel myself caught by this movie. Never got all the creature features, as it seldom seems to keep my attention throughout the movie. Especially if the creature seems uninteresting and too far out to appeal, like the ones in "Pandorum", which seemed to me like a dull "Event Horizon"-y thing, despite an always great Ben Foster. Anyway, Dren in "Splice" just felt interesting, and i liked the character-development, especially when portrayed by Delphine Chaneac, who adds a perfect amount of human appearance in the creature to actually make it appealing. Finally a creature that didn't rely fully on CGI all the time to work:) Another thing i liked, was the rather gritty atmosphere in the movie, which suited the movie really fine. Vincenzo Natali really made something that caught me, which is so very rare these days, where good horror movies seems like one in a 10000. For some reason it made me think of the first time i watched Chronenbergs "The Fly". The final parts of the movie are somewhat perverted and nasty, but thats exactly what i expect and crave in this kind of genre, so i wouldn't have it any other way ;)
CONCLUSION: Don't watch it for scientific and mathematical facts or ethic answers, which seems to distract many people from liking the actual movie. This is a FICTIONAL story, NOT a scientific correct documentary! Just watch it for what it is, a newer enjoyable horror story with the right amount of great acting and effects:)
