Best movie of this year hands down!

Redundant and unnecessary.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The opening scene has a 12 year old boy named Kai coming out of what appears to be a grave in the woods. He causes an accident that kills another boy named Peter's parents. The film then jumps to a grown up Kai (Joner) who has inherited his mother's creepy house. His cruel Mother (Agnes Karin Haaskjold) abused Kai when he was young and his memories of her are rotten. He identifies her body at the morgue in a startling scene that has a great jump in it and heads to the house with two cans of gasoline to burn it down. Traumas from his past begin to haunt him and people around him begin to die. Kai becomes convinced it is Peter (Danielsen Lie) as a grown up that wants revenge for his dead parents. This Norwegian horror film has a very strong visual presence which creates some superb atmosphere. Writer/Director Pal Oie uses the Mother character for several unnerving and scary jumps not to mention some hair raising moments. The imagery and mood is odd and the shadowy lighting and cinematography definitely is effective. Even reading subtitles, this one will keep you interested and scared. The story does wander at times, including an ending that may leave you scratching your head, but Hidden is a horror film fans joy due to the fact it is actually scary.

Skjult is an above average horror movie. The cinematography is just excellent especially for a horror movie. There are enough scares throughout to keep you firmly in your seat.But is does follow the standard plot of a horror movie. A mystery, a lot of scares and then a big reveal in the end. But the pacing is quite good throughout. And the big reveal doesn't feels anticlimactic like it does in so many horror movies.Technically the movie is very slick. Everybody has done a good job in acting but nothing really special. Overall a very satisfying horror movie.

The movie begins pretty strong and has a strong visual sense throughout. Problem is, that the plot cannot hold the movie together as tight as it thinks it can (or should for that matter). The actors are good in a thriller of this kind. Still struggling to find the fine line of portraying their dilemmas is not really something that will work for most people.Apart from that, if you have seen a few movies you won't be really surprised where the movie is heading. And other movies have gone that way better before. Still a decent effort if not a really good movie, at least with a nice scenery and cinematography in general

*Story and characters* The character in this particular movie is very silent. Read the plot, then it gets clear why. This Norwegian movie surprised me big time! The main actor plays his part very well. As well as the supporting roles are well worked out with exception of one. I do blame the actor for that (who plays Roy) he is a very obvious misfit actor to play his role.Offcourse remind you, is subjective but still worth mentioning. The movie storyline is not to obvious until halfway the movie then you get the "clue" very easy. I like that, most really B-flick from the 1st min to the end is to predictable. This one is not, and if the clue is out the movie progresses as such. Meaning that the do not try to enhance the mystic around it no more.So i would say the characters (mainly the main character) and the storyline are pretty good! *Hack and slash! or....* Thats what i love about this movie! It is not a obvious hack and slash movie. In the entire movie FEW ppl get killed and still managed to keep me at my seat. It is a real suspense horror/thriller movie, and thank god not a Jason Voorhees kind of ripoff! Excellent, and very enjoyable to watch. The langue Norwegian do not worry there is very low on dialog to begin with. But even then it is not a pest true out the movie.*Overall* Great suspense thriller/horror. The did a excellent job and this movie is well worth a watch! It has the feel of seven good camera-work nothing cheesy i could detect about this movie. This is one of those, yeah indeed with a low budget you can make a kick-ass movie.
