This is a fun little flick, and one whose central premise (a film editor driven mad while editing a horror film) was borrowed a few years ago for the film Berberian Sound Studio -- which isn't near as entertaining as this one. The first time I watched this movie, I noticed right off the bat that the FX team had obviously studied Tom Savini's two Grande Illusions books, because nearly every gore and/or creature effect is a spot-on match for the FX Savini demonstrates in those books. A couple months later, I read an article on the flick in a back issue of Fango and sure enough, the FX artists say that's exactly where they learned all their FX tricks from. Not complaining, though; if you're going to copy someone, you should copy the best, and the FX work here, while not original, is still pretty darn effective. As with a lot of first-time filmmakers, this filmmaker does his share of tipping his hat to his various filmmaking influences. There are references aplenty to the work of Savini and, especially, Sam Raimi to be seen, among others. But unlke a lot of first time horror filmmakers, the references are not the film's only, or even primary, point. It has its own story to tell, and while that story may be a pastiche of other, more well-known horror films, this one has its own warped and whacky way of telling. I worry you might be thinking I'm calling this a great movie. I'm not. Far from it. It's a low-budget Swedish film made by a first-time filmmaker. It has its share of problems, and then some. What I AM saying is that, even with the kinds of problems inherent of a low-budget Swedish horror film made by a first time filmmaker, it's actually a little better than you probably think.
