I tend to enjoy indie films, especially foreign ones, and as this is an indie Swedish film, it seemed like it was trending in the right direction. Although the first act was quite decent and seemed like the movie held some potential, it was a downward spiral from there. The performances that were given by Eero Milonoff (Vore) and Eva Melander (Tina) were truly quite transformative and deserving of a better movie. The creature effects were also quite stunning, especially when compared to the unaltered appearances of the actors. This movie introduces many elements that are interesting, but it doesn't truly commit to any of them. By the movie's resolution, there were so many unresolved subplots, that I was more so confused than satiated. Noted, that this was less the kind of confusion that had me rethinking the movie than it was the variety wherein I was unsure of the validity of what I had just watched. When the end finally came, it felt long overdue, being as the prior scenes also felt like they could have provided resolution. The movie ground to a halt near the end, getting slower and slower, seeming like it should end, but never truly doing so, until the second fade to black. This movie's biggest flaw also seems to be its greatest praise, this being that it cannot commit to any genre or idea. Going in between a thriller, a drama, and a fairy tale (amongst other things), it certainly felt choppy. With unresolved plot elements and multiple endings, I wouldn't be surprised if this was an amalgamation of multiple other movies that didn't quite get proper funding. It certainly felt like something stitched together. I don't recommend this one, but if you are into alien/troll sex, maybe check this out, or don't.… Expand

I appreciate the creativity that went into the project but that doesn't necessarily make it a good one. The film seemed to keep this grinding slow pace throughout and it never really picked up.
