After 'Dare Divas' I was more than a little curious to see what the next movie Kasper Juhl had up his sleeve, and boy can I say I was more than pleased with this one. Especially impressed that this just may be Juhl's actual first foray into traditional horror.

Just like 'Dare Divas' this goes for the no budget found footage style. And man is this effective in creating a real dark mood throughout. The film at times almost feels like 'The Strangers' with no mask assailants. It's a home invasion movie with elements of Juhl's perverse style thrown in.

And I gotta say Mie Gren is incredible as usual! She definitely Juhl's muse as she's excellent even in his trashiest of movies, but when the movie is as good as this she really shines!

Now there's some moments that I thought lacked logic like, why did they let that random guy in? Why would they not call the cops with their cell phones? And why would they walk into the room with a flash light on when their hearing screams from that room that the home invaders might be in? All these lapse of logic can be forgiven for the most part since the movie is pretty good besides that. And for the runtime it never overstays its welcome.
