Villmark 2 (2015) Review

 

Warning: Spoilers

Five contract workers have taken on the task of tracking a huge old sanatorium for hazardous waste before demolishing. However things go bump in the night as the enormous building has much darker secrets and possible paranormal activity.

Like with the recent Spanish horror revival director Pål Øie does the same for Norwegian filmmaking offering a well-made filmactic feel is which sells the plausibility, thanks to the acting and large creepy location, the music adds tension. 

As the characters are picked off one by one the premise is interesting even though the story beats, shadows in the dim corridors, figures on camera, jump scares etc. are what we've seen before Pål Øie's execution and serious tone makes it worth watching the scares play out. There's a few bodies, blood, gore, twists and turns, doctors and WWII elements.

Overall, better than the abundance of bad acted English language slasher and horror films doing the rounds at the moment. Recommend.
