A brand new horror film from Reinert Kiil, which +at least I know best from the low budget slashers _Hora_ (Whore) and _Inside +the Whore_. Even though low budget, they were enjoyable films and gave promise +of a director that could do interesting things given more resources. + +<!-- more --> + +Huset is a very well produced dark and creepy film that plays with the viewers +perception of time and reality. What could have been a pretty standard haunted +house movie set in a Norwegian winter landscape turns out quite different. + +The main plot essentially involves only three characters, and the focus is +close and intense at all times. The flashback revealing the history of the +house is fragmented, and only give a glimpse of the terror that once played out +there. The viewer is left to fill in the blanks, something which intensifies +the experience. + +I really liked this one. The attention to detail, the chemistry between the +characters, the intensity of the shots and the way it reveals the story in +glimpses without ever showing too much. + +Highly recommended! |
