Brtual and unpredictable. - The Ring Master review by NP
This opens with a pastiche of the first few moments of 1931’s Frankenstein, when one of the cast steps on stage to address the audience and warn them of the horrors to come.
It takes a while to get going, despite the mix of events happening in real time and flashback. Two gas station attendants working the night shift are terrorised and subjected to various brutal horrors, and their isolation is well realised by Director Søren Juul Petersen.
What follows is an entertaining ride, with a fair bit of gore thrown in. The nature of the horror would be to drift into spoiler territory. The situation is not a new one, and might have been conveyed more stylishly than here, but I enjoyed this ride, especially as I didn’t know which way events would turn. My score is 7 out of 10.
