5 Norwegians head for a cabin in the wilderness for a few days of team building. But strange things start happening - especially down by the water where they find an abandoned tent. Is there someone else?

GazerRise Fantastic!
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Nicholas_Hansen I think "Villmark" is an OK Norwegian horror movie. Kristoffer Joner is the best actor in Norway!!! I can see that there are someone that doesn't get the ending. It is the guy that lets them in to the forest that kills people. It is he that is in the window on the picture. Anyways, it isn't a very groundbreaking movie, but it works. The acting isn't extraordinary, but it rarely is in horror movies... But personally, before I saw this movie I was very "shaky" because everyone said it was very scary, but after the movie ended, I just sat there. Is this all?? But it won't hurt you if you see it, so I think that not only Norwegians, but also other Europeans should see this movie.
Tore Dahl Well, it starts out well, the acting is all right, and it's not boring or anything. Spoilers ahead: but at some point you realize that you the audience have no chance whatsoever of figuring out who the real killer is. You can guess correct, but that doesn't make it interesting. In the end it is just bad writing, the director who also wrote it just didn't have enough imagination to do better. Or maybe because it is a formula thing, there isn't any room for maneuvering, you can't do anything that hasn't been seen before. They try to mislead, but it's just a little to obvious that the person they want us to believe has gone mad did it, and so of course it isn't. Did anyone got fooled by this? Maybe a six year old. And then when the killer is revealed, it just seems silly. But the film isn't bad, up until a point it was passable entertainment, good acting and directing. It's the story that doesn't hold up.5/10 toredah
gunnarolsson This is a good movie. Not great, not that very special, but yet creepy and that is the hole idea of horror movies. The actors does a good job, just as nordic actors (actresses) always seems to do.It is very similar to Blair witch, but it is no copy of the film, as the Swedish movie "Det Okända"! This is without hesitation better.I hope Norway have learned from both big brothers Sweden and Denmark (when it comes to movies, that is) and follow up this quit good film with another one!I did not like the end, it should have been much better with the alternative ending in the DVD! I voted a 6, but with the alt end, it would have been an 8!!!
Neo Wannabe This is one of the coolest horror-movies I've seen in a long time, and what makes it even more great is that it's NORWEGIAN! I don't know how many horror-movies that have been made in the history of Norway but it can't be much more than three (!) all together, so who would have expected this one to be not only creepy, but even downright scary - at times it had me almost freaking out it was that scary!This movie will do for forests what "Jaws" did for the ocean!If you missed it on the big screen, get the DVD, turn of the lights and enjoy...MOAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA...
