Steineded How sad is this?

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

trashgang Severin Eskeland made a lot of shorts but this is his first full feature and it is not that bad at all but their are a few problems. If you think you will see a splatter flick or a slasher then you better leave it on the shelves but if you want some suspense turning into a mess then this is for you. It clocks in at 77 minutes but still it takes a while before things really go wrong. Some things you can see coming from miles away, the story about the cop, who is the son of the elder couple at the abandoned house,...but somehow I kept watching. There is no gore and not that much of the red stuff so many will hate it for that but I guess Severin will learn from his mistakes and is a name to watch out for.

Coventry Scandinavia is a flourishing horror movie region lately. I can easily name multiple world-widely acclaimed titles to backup this statement, like "Cold Prey", "Let the Right one in", "Dead Snow", "The Substitute" and "Antichrist". As a devoted horror geek, I want to follow and remain au courant of this contemporary genre boom and thus blindly selected "Detour" as one of the titles I wanted to watch at this year's edition of the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Films. Well … "Detour" was quite a surprise, indeed. I was literally astonished – shocked, even – about how ordinary, dull and derivative this movie was! Think the most rudimentary and clichéd backwoods/survival imaginable and you pretty much fully covered the idea of "Detour". We're talking clichéd story lines, one-dimensional characters, predictable twists, uninspired gore, lame attempts to imitate genre classics and ineffective suspense. Young couple intend to cross the rural Swedish/Norwegian border with a trunk full of illegally smuggled booze, but are forced to make a detour when the main road is closed off because of an accident. They subsequently get two flat tires, run into a deranged garage owner who watches nasty videos, meet a friendly cop who clearly cannot be trusted, pick up a confused girl in the woods and arrive at a secluded mansion owned by a mysteriously elderly couple. Lina and Martin also don't realize they're constantly being filmed by a series of strategically placed cameras all over the woods. They unwarily ended up in the middle of a snuff movie as the involuntarily lead actor and actress. "Detour" is an incredibly short movie (barely 77 minutes) and yet manages to be quite boring and repetitive. The amount of false scares and obviously transparent red herrings is enormous and the pacing is too often interrupted by dreadful dialogs and pointless sentimental moments. The gore-factor and body count are intolerable low and even the breathtaking northeastern Norwegian forestry filming locations can't hold your attention longer than ten minutes. The soundtrack is pretty cool (Norwegian black metal) and the lead actress Marte Cristensen is a beautiful lady, but "Detour" is an overall unremarkable film and not worthy to rank between the aforementioned Scandinavian winners.

Aron This movie is awesome. Plain forward good kicking' entertainment. Lot's of the horror elements you like to see, makes the chills go down your neck, and then spooks and shakes you out of your mind. Some nail popping', gimp kicking', old hag busting' action! A couple is driving from Norway to Sweden to get some cheap booze. They get car trouble in the deep woods and need to seek assistance at the nearest house. Well this is where the fun begins. The protagonist have to show what shes made of when battling man pigs and other dangers to save the day (Love a good female hero!). She has a awesome boyfriend, and it's very enjoyable to see the flirt romantic scenes with the two of them. It's real cozy before all hell breaks loose. So if you want to see a straight "cut the crap" forward good entertaining horror thriller, "Snarveien(Detour)" is the way to go. Is by far one of the best movies from Norwegian cinema, cause of it's strong acting (this is unlike Norwegian film), great twist ridden script and flawless directing Enjoi!
