Above average slasher which means not a very good movie per se, but tolerable.
The setting comes up trumps as well as the unusually likable character portraits and solid performances. There are entirely too much false alarms, but otherwise the Norwegian director builds up a truly unsettling atmosphere.
Strictly by-the-numbers stuff (along with one of those final pseudo-psychological revelations about the murderous maniac's past), but quite captivating as long as it lasts.
