hyped garbage

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Watched it earlier on fear net, at first i knew it was something eerie but i seemed to like it as the movie went on, it was starting to get strange about this teacher, and this kid who's afraid of heights and this teacher lady was telling him to climb the rope in a nasty way, and i thought why could someone bitch around 6th graders? And as the movie started to come to an end started to like to see what happens in the end and what the fate would be of these kids plus the boy's father. so they go on this stupid field trip and these kids are trying to tell their mamas and dads they don't want to go because their teacher is a friggin monster. But i won't spoil the whole ending but i have to say you have to watch to see what happens. This is a must see for horror movie lovers.

The acting was fair, and the dubbed voices weren't really all that bad. The story wavers between embarrassingly bad ("The ability to love is what makes humans unique in the universe") and cliché - a Bad Guy looking through the toilet stalls, one by one, for the hero trapped in the last stall, the middle-school boy unable to come to grips with the death of his mother (who was remarkably noxious), the parent who starts dating the alien invader... you've seen these scenes too many times already.Plot absurdities include a scene transition from a bus full of terrified, paralyzed schoolchildren to the nonchalant children being boisterous the next day, and a printout of a photo, taken by cellphone of an alien data-plate. The picture shows a photo of a farm and some students, who have not yet been to the farm - and the number of students shown on the print grows and grows (pictures of alien technology have weird alien powers?).I've seen far worse, but considering the source, I'd expected far better.

If this would have been an American movie, the monster would have been silly, the parents understandable in their gullibility and the kids more concerned with their social standing. Also, anything scary would have probably been removed and the film would have been a Disney production.Well, they do things differently in Denmark, so they have some smart kids, with a complex relationship dynamic, completely ignorant parents that only believe what suits them best (especially when it comes to their children fantasies) and the monster is both fairly benign, totally scary and absolutely alien.The film is thus suitable for both parents and children, although I would call it more a family film with horrorish specks, and even if the whole "planet without love" thing was too corny and not very related to the rest of the film, the movie is watchable and enjoyable. At least I liked it.

The Ghost House Underground presents an entry from Denmark with not a lot of special effects, but it sustains suspense and anxiety. A small-town sixth-grade class gets a substitute teacher. She is blond, long, lean and lanky with all the finesse of a Nazi interrogator. She treats the children rudely and sadistically taunts each and every one as she indulges in mind control. The children try to alert their clueless parents, but Miss Ulla(Paprika Steen)finds it too easy to manipulate them. Carl(Jonas Wandschneider)and Phillip(Nikolaj Falkenberg-Klok)convinces the class to take matters into their own hands. Upon some snooping they find reason enough to believe the substitute is from another planet.
