David Martin Yes, the movie starts well, but then the dumb teenager sets the zombie loose in the neighborhood and it all becomes wildly stupid. I can't recommend anyone to watch such a ridiculous movie !

thelastblogontheleft Honestly, zombie movies aren't my absolute favorite. I do have a few that I love, but overall they don't do much for me. Maybe it was my higher standards due to this fact, but this movie just didn't grab me. It's apparently the first post-apocalyptic zombie movie made in Denmark so maybe they just need some more practice.It takes the perspective of showcasing the early days of the zombie virus spreading. In many ways it almost feels like a pilot episode of a zombie TV show, which, to its disadvantage, means it feels like it's gearing you up for some great action down the line but it doesn't really deliver.I was intrigued at first — the concept of a virus spreading quickly always freaks me the hell out, zombie or otherwise — but before you know it you're catapulted into the stereotypical routine: people are quarantined without being given much information, military personnel are patrolling the neighborhood, people are told not to go to the hospital if they're sick. There's a quick transition from "something might be wrong?" to "oh crap something is REALLY WRONG" and yet… still no real intense climax, in my opinion.Per usual, compassion (and maybe some ignorance) is the downfall of the group (letting Sonja's obviously sick and feverish mom stay over?), and things escalate pretty quickly from there.I did like the couple scenes that showed the zombies' fascination with light — once when they got distracted by a streetlight (all staring up at it like they were watching shooting stars) and another when they got intrigued by a fire. I also liked the fact that they were fast. The rabbit stew scene was also an unexpected bit of dark humor. When Sonja wakes up with her mother all rigor mortised on her I got some REAL chills, both from the fact that it was creepy as hell but also surprisingly tender (in the sense that her mom wanted to spoon her before she died).But really, I felt no attachment to any of the characters. You barely even remember the youngest daughter is part of the group aside from her occasionally popping in to ask about her rabbit. The son is rebellious to an annoying degree. And the main couple are awkward as all hell, even during their goodbye kiss (when they know the husband may not come back alive). The moments of sheer desperation — threatening the woman for her box of supplies, Sonja having to re-kill her mother, Dino knowing he needs to kill the daughter — are painful to watch, as they are in any situation like this, since you see a glimpse of what a post-apocalyptic world like this could be like. But, ultimately, I feel like this movie just didn't deliver enough raw emotion and unique situations to stand out.

agatadescroix I was so surprised by this movie. The deep ambiance is slowly built up and really turns into anxiety. Some delightful scare-jumps. Loved the music and the sound effects. There is enough shown, which I like. It's not a full-blood-gore kind of movie; you don't see everything, which I think helps to create a freaky ambiance and the feeling that you are with the family. Very smartly developed and amazingly realistic. I've never seen characters evolve so much in a zombie movie. (And the little cherry on the cake for my personal taste, it's all in danish! Sounds great to me) Huge crush!! Highly recommend it <3

Alexander Kinnunen Sorgenfri took me by surprise - in the best possible way. I walked in with relatively low expectations, but left thinking that this might be THE zombie movie I have always waited for. It might be my favourite to date.It's definitely up to par with The Walking Dead in many ways, just more thrilling and horror-like. It really got under my skin and made me feel very... alive!The special effects were great. The locations, settings and moods felt very realistic. Character development and dialogue was satisfying. The sounds were oh-so creepy.All in all this is a very well made movie. Which happens to be a zombie movie set in a small town in Denmark. I never in my life thought I would see those two sentences in the same paragraph, but here we are.Big kudos for having the vision and will to make this happen. I highly salute the team behind this effort and recommend it to all zombie fans. Count me in for Sorgenfri 2.
