NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
kosmasp This movie starts with a flashback. A flashback were they talk German, but evidently you can hear (if you're familiar with the German language), that the actors are not Germans themselves. Just a trivia fact, for the beginning.Because this doesn't hurt the movie, after the flashback you get to the present time and the movie kicks off. And that means it really get's going! It then starts out more as (teen-)comedy, just to evolve into a horror-comedy. The transition is pretty good and many jokes work, but unfortunately in the end (literally), the movie falls short. It just seems, that they run out of ideas or money ... or both, but this movie does not feel like it's finished. It's a shame then, because this could've been so much better, but it's still good!
Einherjer79 I saw this movie hoping it should be a good horror movie but it was totally crap. The acting is done by armatures and the script too. The sound in the movie couldn't been worse ( it's usually bad sound in Swedish films but this was extraordinary bad). The comedy in this film is that it is so bad so you starts to laugh because of that instead of the jokes in the film. So , don't waste or time on this one. The budget must be quite low and you can tell only after just watching a few minutes.So , if you' looking after a good Swedish horror movie , see Evil Ed instead. The soundtrack however is quite good but in the movie the music is way to loud if you compare it with the volume of the one who's talking.
iRONFiSTER Awful. I give it a '1'. The lowest value I could find.The movie could have been great. After I've watched the first 10-15 minutes of it I gave the movie a fair chance. It caught me. A group of soldiers in a deep forest in Ukraina during WW2, looking for shelter during the night. (Man! This can be great, I thought).Anyway, so far the movie seems to be great. Great acting and filming. THEN, all of a sudden, the movie jumps into modern time. And a complete disaster is a fact (only after 10 minutes or something like that). After I've watched the first half of the movie, I was starting to feeling sick. The acting was bad, the story was awful, the whole thing and idea was a disaster. I hated it.Before I started to watch it, me and my friend I watched it with had a few movies we've promised ourselves to never watch again. A few of them were Dogma, ExistenZ and The Cube 2 (Hypercube?). These films, which I've hated for so long suddenly appeared as masterpieces. But I must give Frostbiten creds for their great effects! Sorry to tell you all that they have absolutely no use.Frostbiten made me wanna commit suicide. I can't sleep at night, I can't watch Swedish movies any more - It killed me from the inside, and not because of the story or effects, only because of it's "worthlessity".Do I recommend you to see it? Well, I'm sorry (or not), but I can't say 'yes' to that question.
Kalle Dannestam (karl_lundholm) Considering it really had the makings of a great horror movie, I really got disappointed. Vampires, blood, night for a whole month in a pretty small town. Furthermore there aren't many good Swedish horror movies, so this one was really something I was looking forward to.How wrong I was.. I mean -why, why, why?! Where did the budget go? Why don't write at least 25 pages of manuscript before start filming and why not hire a director while you're at it? Awful acting, sometimes good special effects but no more than in a half-decent B-movie. A good thought started it all, and the idea isn't all bad, but where did it all go? We need more odd and special, not just strange and intellectual pictures from Sweden, but sure a heck not more movies like this one.
