Midsummer (2003)

Purely Joyful Movie!

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Midsummer(or Midsommer, as it is called in Danish). What an astoundingly unremarkable attempt at a horror flick. Danish films are very rarely any good at all, and our horror films are probably the biggest embarrassments. I decided to check this film out, as a friend of mine had it, and I could borrow it for free. I knew pretty much what the film was about, and was aware that it wasn't particularly good. When I sat down to see it, I immediately had the same gut feeling that I usually have when I (attempt to) watch a Danish film. This film never really got my interest, and certainly didn't keep it at any point. The plot is poor, and the way it evolved was so clichéd and predictable. In fact, the whole film was predictable and dull. The acting is bad. Nothing else to say. It is just plain bad. The characters are poorly written, even more poorly developed and paper-thin. They are stereotypical as well. The script is incredibly poor, and the shocks are cheap. The film seems overly loud, and about half of the scenes involve the characters drinking alcohol. Are we supposed to care if these people live or die? All they do is drink. Their actions didn't seem to make sense half of the time, either. I barely payed attention to the film, but I could make out that much. I'm not entirely sure how it ends, and frankly, I don't care the least bit. One to avoid. I recommend this only to big fans of Danish films(which would have to be Danish people who can't speak English, since everyone else prefer to watch films that involve actual talent in their production). 5/10

**SPOILERS HEREIN**It is not often I see scary movies, and if I do, I try to keep out of the scandinavian region, unless someone really convince me it is a good movie. E.g. Villmark, which was a good movie. I was not forced to see this movie, but I didn't really have anything else to do, so I watched it with an open mind.The movie was okay, I guess. But, when I see scary movies, I expect the scary stuff to have a logical answer to it, and that went all wrong in this movie. No person could have turned those lights on and off, and who believes that there are ghosts? This movie is maybe good if you are 12 or so, but for me it was really a disappointment after seeing a lots of good action comedies from Denmark lately. 4/10

Yes the danes has made many great movies the last years. This one was creepy, and gave me chills several times. I don't know why, but very visual mainstream american horror movies never does that. Midsommer has a great story, excellent filming and sound and some very talented young actors.I would suggest this for everyone who likes to get scared.. :)

Yes, we have done it again! this time a teen movie, about the most comment things in the students life. An untop of that, the film contains a well preformed horror show, were you are not sitting on the cinema chair, more hen 20min of the film,Okay, i know that i´m danish, and i´m prode of my country!!!!!!
