Kadaver

The film has an interesting story with an original idea. It is set in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster, where people are running out of food and struggling to survive. A charity event is held at a local hotel where visitors get free food and can take part in a play set. Soon, however, visitors begin to mysteriously disappear. The central idea is very cool, visually Cadaver is solid and the suspense works at times, but unfortunately that’s not enough. I guessed the final twist somewhere in the middle, and while I'm glad they chose that route, it definitely needed to add to the brutality and intensity. A decent average from Norway that I don't think offends, but could have got more out of the idea. Story***, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment***, Music***, Visual****, Atmosphere***, Suspense***. 5/5. (23.10.2020)

The Norwegian movie Cadaver is definitely worth watching and will prove a breathtaking spectacle for some, maybe less experienced, viewers. It has a fairly simple subject matter used to build an emotionally powerful movie, although, to be honest, the conclusion felt a bit too much in that regard. (06.11.2020)
