This blood-soaked melodrama -- a far cry from most foreign films -- has been a festival favorite and might well develop a cult following, though it's far too gory to reach beyond the core audience.

What are critics saying?
The pic reveals itself as a horror-action-comedy a la "Evil Dead," with amusing twists of fate and over-the-top gore.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
This Norwegian zombie flick is perfect for those who just want a few good jolts and whole lot of gore.
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
Cheery, silly, splattery, and respectful of its elders (and betters, particularly Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead").
The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
As is often the case with movies of this type, the real stars are the special-effects team, which does some admirably disgusting work.
Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
If you tamp down your expectations -- those gaping plot holes are dangerous! -- there is a storm of scary fun to be had in this Scandinavian splatterfest.
The concept doesn't go much further than the wardrobe department--that is, until a deliriously over-the-top climax finally rouses the film from its "Evil Dead"-mimicking stupor.
Wirkola keeps the narrative taut, wasting not a frame; and he throws in funny moments.
