I was not familiar with the two leads, other than Taylor-Joy's extraordinary performance in The Queen's Gambit, so I was not expecting anything other than an adequate weekend horror film. Instead, I was so very much pleasantly surprised. This is a terrific Sci-Fi Romance/Horror film with a great script, plot and edge of your seat action. Something for everyone here. Very good performances from both leads and the director has given us a well-rounded story with nothing lacking. Character development was also very good and the acting was up to the task, so much so that I found myself caring very much for not only their immediate survival; but, for their emotional recovery and the healing needed so they can both sleep better at night. Caring for the characters only makes you sit a little closer to the edge of your seat!

At first I thought "I expected more from Frost". After 30 minutes I almost just stopped watching and let it run in the background; but, I stuck it out and was not disappointed. Nothing clever or new here, aside from perhaps the Scandinavian setting, I thought to myself. I'm not a prude by any means; but, I'm not sure the masturbation and oral sex added anything to the plot development.....and then suddenly I was riveted to the screen by the surprising twist. What a great combination of gore, horror and comedy. Frost really HAS done something clever here. Definitely not what one expects and it was refreshing to be surprised by a film these days. Not for everyone, but nicely done Mr. Frost!

This movie punches way above its IMDB rating! A fun action romp that doesn't take itself too seriously. I was pleasantly surprised by how entertained I was by this cast of lovable, yet canned characters. I did have just about all I could take of the anxiety ridden young man; but, I suppose he had a part to play in everything; but, it just got overused to the point where it became a bit over the top. Decent script, decent acting, good action albeit a bit tongue in cheek. I read one reviewer who compared the characters to a video game and I can totally see that! Not exactly real-life, a bit exaggerated; but, enjoyable nonetheless. It has a cowboy, a villain, a thief with a good heart, etc. It's worth your time, just don't expect it to win an Oscar. Relax and enjoy it for what it is.
