Yes, there is a very disturbing scene in the beginning. But it's a foundation for what is to come. Not the whole plot! Stupid pet owners who didn't watched the whole movie shouldn't do reviews. I guess these people can't watch action/thriller/horror movies either because actors die in those movies too...
If evil kids gain supernatural powers, they can harm others but they can also fight back. It's about good and evil but also how darkness can bring kids together.
What starts as innocent games, then develops into something dark and terrifying. Too late, the children realize it, but get unexpected help. The story takes place in a sleepy nameless Norwegian suburb and the contrast between the everyday life during summer break and the evil forces that are set in motion could not be greater. When children are involved, it becomes even more unsettling. The strength is the simple format, as far from Hollywood as you can possibly get. It feels more real when visual effects are few.
My only problem is that the editing is very odd and many scenes are unexplained or left in no-man's-land. But all in all, this is a slow-burner that proves it's possible to do more with less.
