John M.

Psycho movie seemingly without a logical storyline. Do not be enticed by the description and do not rent if you cannot read fast - english subtitles only.

Sean C.

The storyline is hard to find and the main actor is not developed. The ending is not worth watching, nor the middle, the subtitles are probably the only thing worth looking at. The writer has masochistic fantasies and leads the viewer to believe their is a plot, but, the movie went from bad to worse.

Erik B.

Good little thriller about a man and his next door neighbors, who just so happen to be sexy, psychotic women. Details are used to inform the viewer of important plot points (e.g., repeated dialogue, specific foods, reiterated events with slight changes, etc.). The suspense is very effective for the majority of the film. There is some explicit sexual content, but it does contribute to the storyline. The ending is predictable, but it is an enjoyable experience getting there. I'm sure others didn't like the film because it was Norwegian, and we all know that Americans can't enjoy a movie if it's not in English.
