Bare på jobb (2003)
Weird and funny
Just Working (Bare på jobb) is a funny and weird film. It has great dialogue, great characters and it has a good plot. It might be a little slow, specially in the mid section of the film. There are funny scenes in the mid section, but it doesn't move the story forward. However, it starts pretty well, and the last 45 minutes of the film the film is back on track. Also, this is a interesting film, with a lot of corky and weird ideas in the way the film reveals the environment. The weird details "spices" up the story, and in many ways, it represent a new way of telling a story, even thou the film also has some weakness. Its a good directional debut, and it's well produced - made a low budget of $7-800.000.
Villmark (2003)
Horror-film mood, but no story
"Villmark" is the first Norwegian horror-film in many years that actually works. It has all the ingredient a horror film should have, in regards of suspense and mood. Its weakness lies in the script. The story is basically to weak, and there are to many logical flaws. Here's an example: They're far in the forest, they find a dead body - and decides to wait with reporting it to the police, because it's to far to go back to the car to get a cellular phone. A few scenes later, one of the characters actually has a phone with him. There's are many more examples of these logical flaws. Its also difficult to understand the motivations of the characters.
However, when watching the film in the cinema, I wasn't the only one to jump in my seat a several times, and they manage hold the suspense throughout the film.
