***MILD SPOILERS*** I watched this movie cause it was announced to be like a new milestone in danish horror, but it is quite a let-down.The film is in itself ok, has a lot of nice ideas. But honestly, the quija boards are a thing of the past and by no means scary anymore. There's so many cliches in this film, a list would be going too far.There's also a couple of very annoying characters aswell, especially the smart*** "Mark" played by equally annoying Jon Lange - I've seen a couple of other flicks with this guy and he isn't acting, he is being himself - nothing more, nothing less....to see him shot in the gutt in the end actually made me cheer...I was waiting for that....kinda cruel thing to say, but nevertheless true..Anyway, a mediocre film, nothing more, nothing less.. And I kinda got my eyes opened for Laura Christensen who is becoming kind of a babe - Saw her in Von Trier's "Kingdom" years ago, but she sure developed in all good ways of the word...Yummi!

Yes the danes has made many great movies the last years. This one was creepy, and gave me chills several times. I don't know why, but very visual mainstream american horror movies never does that. Midsommer has a great story, excellent filming and sound and some very talented young actors.I would suggest this for everyone who likes to get scared.. :)

Midsommer is one of the better danish thrillers. Its got okay acting, a nice music score and great locations. The story is actually pretty good and managed to surprise me in the ending, even though the story caused a deja vu. Its like you have seen it all before. None the less it was very well put together. Worth a look! If not for Tuva Novotny. She is one of scandinavias most beautiful women - and she can act!

I caught a screening of this movie at the Gothenburg Film Festival, and I was pleasantly surprised.I hadn't seen any trailers or anything and didn't know what to expect, except that it was a danish teen-movie. It turned out to be a rather scary little movie, avoiding the worst clichés (although it is nothing new, it twists and turns (except maybe for the ending) and never gets predictable or boring) and it's got beautiful photo and very good music (Carpark North) and sound.I think the actors did a great job all over - but I can't guarantee anything since that may have something to do with me don't speaking danish... :o)I would certainly recommend to see it in a theatre with 800 other people screamin' out loud as I did...
