Rinda DiLibda I was extremely surprised with this movie; as I did not expect anything out of it after watching a couple of "bad" movies being hyped by everyone as really "good" movies, so this one blew me away. The story is amazing and well put that until the last part it leads your thoughts into something else while the truth is at the far opposite side of that part, the acting is almost average except for Tuva Novotny as Linn and Kristian Leth as Christian, as both mastered their characters to the benefit of the movie. The story might not be an original one, but it had a clever twist starting with the mysterious suicide of Sofie, Christian's sister during a friend's party. After-wards, the movie follows the aftermath of the sudden suicide on Christian, his parents as well as his friends who we get to know each one of them in greater details as they all set to travel to Sweden on a regular trip. We'll know of Trine in particular who was a close friend of Sofie and develops an interest in Christian as well during the trip. As their relationship progress, Christian starts to witness a set of unexplained events starting with the car (the lights open by themselves, the car stops at a certain area in the woods...) as well as a small pink toy his sister was holding when she overdosed with pills which keeps appearing in strange locations, every time Christian leaves it safe with him. Then, Christian begins to suspect of Persson, the old guy who lives nearby to the point of searching his house when he was not around, only to discover a little girl's room in the upper level, in a house which has no current children. Christian tells his friends of those occurrences, believing that his sister is trying to contact him, which all attributes to his sadness over the sudden loss of Sofie, except Linn, who encourages him to speak and explore of such events and takes the lead in "playing" a game which tends to interact with ghosts. To the surprise of all of his friends, Christian gets indeed contacted by a ghost of a little girl, named Malin whose her child's room was the one he found at Persson's house, knowing from Linn that the little girl was lost for a while and all the town helped searched for her without much luck. The movie also gets you greatly suspicious of Persson, with his odd behavior, asking about Sofie in a strange manner as well as a disturbingly odd behavior from Trine as well... and Up until that moment, you could not predict the truth, the motives of the little girl's ghost and what its link with Sofie's suicide. The movie gets you clinging to the screen as the truth begins to unfold in an unexpected way... The ending is completely refreshing that is truthfully worth watching especially after the slow middle parts of the movie and all in all, it is an excellent horror movie, that if you are looking for something with a nice plot, far from the mainstream Hollywood tasteless ones, then this movie is the right one for you.

emreyanik 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.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews 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

Kenna! 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...
