Did Covid perhaps mean that this was rushed a little bit, it has some food ideas and themes, but ultimately it really is a bit jumbled up.

Imagine you take a 'wrong turn' in Sweden, and end up in a snow covered wilderness being pursued by some big, bearded Scandinavians...

You get the idea, I'm not sure if maybe something is lost in translation, but the dubbed voices don't work, watch it with the subtitles on, it's a much better experience.

I don't get how this film has one and ten star reviews, neither extreme makes any sense to a film such as this.

Overall, the story is good, if unoriginal, the execution isn't sharp, but the acting is good, and the locations are glorious.

It's a solid ok from me, 6/10.

No headaches or twists. Just a simple will they make it won't they make it kinda movie.

Full of holes though. For example when they escape from the cabin and shoot the rescuer with the flare, instead of taking the snow bike and his gun they start walking everywhere ?? Lol

The idea of terror in the store is interesting and a fun premise. However the story gets dragged down in being long winded and unorganized at times. The idea that two people can be this self cantered doesn't surprise me in this day and age, but the fact we are supposed to feel sympathy for the characters once we get the big reveal is asinine. I didn't like the characters to start with and this reveal made me cheer for their brutal death even more. However my sympathy does go out to poor Boris he deserved better.

This film is one thing watch, as it will not be the worst film you have I'll ever watch, but due to a few small "why wouldn't you just" moments, this movie can only be rated as ok, not a 1 , not a 10 but a 5.5 -6. But If your bit of a open minded movie buff I would recommend to give ago

That being said, the first half of the movie, you basically expect them to be chased the entire movie without being given any explanations (if you watched the trailer).

But it's definitely one of the better movies Netflix have made. The plot twists in the end make up for the viewers frustration, and the movie totally redeems itself. It's not an average plottwist either, it's very well written and if you can withstand the confusion, the end pays off.

Worth watching in my opinion.
