Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Woodyanders A close-knit group of young adults become the target of a mysterious killer in a peaceful mountain lake hamlet. After receiving an ominous text message on their cell phones, the group starts to get bumped off by their stalker one by one. Directed with smooth assurance and real thrilling amped-up style by Andreas Prochaska (who also co-wrote the compact and efficient script with Thomas Baum), with a firm grounding in a certain bleakly plausible workaday reality, a steady pace, sharp and energetic cinematography by David Slama, a strong feeling of pervasive dread, brutal murder set pieces which are staged with genuine skill and flair (a ferocious sequence with one lass having her throat cut with glass and her head subsequently lobbed off rates as the definite gruesome highlight), a grimly serious take-no-prisoners tone, a moody skin-crawling score by Matthias Weber, a substantial amount of clammy suspense, a vivid depiction of the dreary small town setting, a potent and provocative central message on how dire consequences from past bad events can and eventually will come back to haunt you, a bang-up lively rock soundtrack, and even a decent smattering of bare female skin, this fright film overall sizes up as a surprisingly sturdy, absorbing, and effective little opus. The sound acting from the attractive and appealing cast helps a lot: Sabrina Reiter as the spunky, no-nonsense Nina, Julia Rosa Stockl as the frightened Mona, Michael Steinocher as the hunky Clemens, Nadja Vogel as the foxy Alex, Laurence Rupp as the sensitive Martin, Julian Sharp as freaky oddball Patrick (in a nice and unexpected twist, Patrick turns out to be more heroic than villainous), and Andreas Kiedl as earnest police officer Kagler. Recommended viewing for slice'n'dice fans.
rwlivings I liked this film, but it had so much potential to be an important film in Austrian horror-film history. As a thriller, it had every element that makes a European-style thriller breathtakingly beautiful, but as a slasher, this visual beauty took away the terror and fun that is usually associated with the genre. The film is slow and only has fun teen-slasher music at the very beginning and very end. If re-edited with a new soundtrack, faster cuts, and shortened to around the 80minute mark, I believe this could be the film it's solid script hoped it would be.I look forward to watching the sequel as I have read good things about it.
Claudio Carvalho In Ebensse, the teenagers Nina (Sabrina Reiter), her boyfriend Martin (Laurence Rupp), Clemens (Michael Steinocher), his girlfriend Alex (Nadja Vogel) and Mona (Julia Rosa Stöckl) are best friends since their childhood. On their high-school graduation day, they all receive the same message in the cellular: "In three days you will be dead!", but they believe is a stupid joke from their weird schoolmate Patrick (Julian Sharp). However, when Martin is found dead in the lake Traunsee, the group realizes that it is not a prank. When Nina is attacked and Patrick is killed trying to save her, they recall a tragic incident from their childhood."In 3 Tagen Bist Du Tot" has a tense and promising beginning. The acting of the young and unknown cast is good, but unfortunately the story is weak, actually a rip-off of the franchise "I Know What You did Last Summer" and using the clichés of the genre. In the end, this flick is watchable and forgettable, but entertains. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Morto em 3 Dias" ("Dead in 3 Days")
kosmasp I watched this movie, do you know what you did? ;o) Of course the summary line is also a link, that this movie is obviously linked to American teen horror movies of the recent past and tried to copy them as good as it could.So if you like this kind of movies, you might be more excited than I was. I mean I liked "I know what you did last summer", but it had also a lot to do with Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and the others. They weren't excellent, but good enough. And although the actors hold their own here (for a horror movie that is), something is missing. It never really get's really scary, that might be it ... Not the worst movie ever then (not close to that), but still not something you have to watch (unless you're a fan, as I said earlier)
