But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist

Such an amazing movie, I can't believe I put it off for such a long time myself. Watched it like a month ago and was really impressed. Specially since I'm Latino. People confuse me for white, but I relate to the movie so much. Not to mention I'm a musician too. Easily a favorite.

Heavy trip
Finland
2018
Being a fan of heavy metal, I thought this movie from Finland was pretty funny. The official summary tells you everything, and nothing:
And just to be pedantic, the band is a "symphonic post-apocalyptic reindeer-grinding Christ-abusing extreme war pagan Fennoscandian" metal band.
Finland
2018
Being a fan of heavy metal, I thought this movie from Finland was pretty funny. The official summary tells you everything, and nothing:
The humor is not quite as dry as the Norwegian mockumentary Trollhunter and definitely sillier than the delightfully bone dry Kraftidioten (aka "In Order of Disappearance"), but I thought much of the humor came from the same places. It pokes a lot of fun, hits the right notes, but it never really demeans the heavy metal genre nor its fans.Turo (25) is trying to overcome his fears by leading the most unknown heavy metal band in Finland, Impaled Rektum, to the hottest metal festival of Norway. The journey includes heavy metal, grave robbing, Viking heaven and an armed conflict between Finland and Norway.
And just to be pedantic, the band is a "symphonic post-apocalyptic reindeer-grinding Christ-abusing extreme war pagan Fennoscandian" metal band.
...the story derives a lot of its appeal from its sense of despair and a darkness in which the love of Eli and Oskar seems to shine with a strange and disturbing light.

Any recommendations or thoughts on this one?
Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
Reminds me a lot of...is it Wicker Man? Something like that.

Yep. I was thinking the same thing. This one may be even more brutal, though.

Plenty of spoilers in this article.

This one, by the same author, discusses the movie comparatively. No spoilers here. I like the rating system.

I have not watched many horror movies but recognized the ones on these scales. I think me and Clubmeister would feel better at home on the left hand side of the charts!

Not on my watch. But the scales are interesting. "The Thing from Another World" 1951. Maxes out on jump scares. "Night of the Living Dead" 1968. All-time lingering dread leader.
