A movie that made organ donations drop.

The title is not a joke. This movie had enough of an impact that it made more than 100 people withdraw their commitment for organ donations. After having watched the film I understand that now.Ole Bornedal wrote a fantasticly sick and suspenseful film and when his script and directing is joined by the acting of Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, Kim Bodnia and even Ulf Pilgaard you know you're in for an amazing ride.Growing up as a horror fan in Denmark I was always told about this movie but never got around to seeing before now. After having seen this for myself I don't know what took me so long. I'll also say that I feel proud that my small country produces entertainment of this calibre.

To feel the atmosphere watch it at nighttime

I saw this today n was pulled in cos of the 2024 sequel.Had seen the Hollywood remake starring Josh Brolin n McGregor in the early 2k.Honestly I enjoyed both the versions but writing a review of this original version.The movie looks a bit outdated (30 years) considering the pacing but it has solid character development.The best part is the ominous setting, oodles of atmosphere n a decent twist.Kim Bodnia as Jens Arnkiel gave a very memorable performance.We have Martin (a very young Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) who gets a student job as night watchman at the Forensic Medicine Institute. At the same time women are murdered brutally by a serial killer.Martin has to make his rounds in the morgue where the latest victim's body is brought in.
