Wonderful character development!

Very well executed

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Carsten Myllerup uses the classical haunted house plot to create a Nordic version of the horror genre without exposing the audience to gory scenes and exaggerated sound effects. As a replacement the movie offers a more humanitarian atmosphere which bounces between joyful images of youth, nature, friendship and love in contrast with dark and depressive ones supported with claustrophobic close-ups, confusing landscapes and thematic music. Appearing symbols like the boat waiting at the bottom of the cliff, the leading deer and themes of spirituality vs. rationality, urban vs. provincial life at different layers of the movie gives it a richer and deeper understanding.

Midsummer(or Midsommer, as it is called in Danish). What an astoundingly unremarkable attempt at a horror flick. Danish films are very rarely any good at all, and our horror films are probably the biggest embarrassments. I decided to check this film out, as a friend of mine had it, and I could borrow it for free. I knew pretty much what the film was about, and was aware that it wasn't particularly good. When I sat down to see it, I immediately had the same gut feeling that I usually have when I (attempt to) watch a Danish film. This film never really got my interest, and certainly didn't keep it at any point. The plot is poor, and the way it evolved was so clichéd and predictable. In fact, the whole film was predictable and dull. The acting is bad. Nothing else to say. It is just plain bad. The characters are poorly written, even more poorly developed and paper-thin. They are stereotypical as well. The script is incredibly poor, and the shocks are cheap. The film seems overly loud, and about half of the scenes involve the characters drinking alcohol. Are we supposed to care if these people live or die? All they do is drink. Their actions didn't seem to make sense half of the time, either. I barely payed attention to the film, but I could make out that much. I'm not entirely sure how it ends, and frankly, I don't care the least bit. One to avoid. I recommend this only to big fans of Danish films(which would have to be Danish people who can't speak English, since everyone else prefer to watch films that involve actual talent in their production). 5/10

**SPOILERS HEREIN**It is not often I see scary movies, and if I do, I try to keep out of the scandinavian region, unless someone really convince me it is a good movie. E.g. Villmark, which was a good movie. I was not forced to see this movie, but I didn't really have anything else to do, so I watched it with an open mind.The movie was okay, I guess. But, when I see scary movies, I expect the scary stuff to have a logical answer to it, and that went all wrong in this movie. No person could have turned those lights on and off, and who believes that there are ghosts? This movie is maybe good if you are 12 or so, but for me it was really a disappointment after seeing a lots of good action comedies from Denmark lately. 4/10

I caught a screening of this movie at the Gothenburg Film Festival, and I was pleasantly surprised.I hadn't seen any trailers or anything and didn't know what to expect, except that it was a danish teen-movie. It turned out to be a rather scary little movie, avoiding the worst clichés (although it is nothing new, it twists and turns (except maybe for the ending) and never gets predictable or boring) and it's got beautiful photo and very good music (Carpark North) and sound.I think the actors did a great job all over - but I can't guarantee anything since that may have something to do with me don't speaking danish... :o)I would certainly recommend to see it in a theatre with 800 other people screamin' out loud as I did...
