This is a tricky one. On the one hand, the red flags create an intense feeling of dread. On the other hand, it never should of gotten to that point. The couple was flat-out idiotic. Plain and simple. Reading the reviews, a lot of people disliked the movie because of this. Understandable. It's maddening to see 2 people behave so passively and seal their own fates. I, however, think this was done for that exact reason. I think the director wanted us to feel the this way.
The ending is beyond disturbing but rather than feel anger towards the bad guys, you feel anger towards the good guys for allowing this to happen. That's tough to pull off
It really messed with my emotions. I think that
might have been the whole point.

Brilliant... people who dont get it watch too many action movies.
When was the last time you truly said "no" to something you didnt want do?
Those who complain "they would have fought to death" are missing the point. This movie is a criticism of our polite society (especially true in scandinavian countries) where the male is fully emasculated.
On many occasions Bjorg had the opportunity to take actions and step up as an alpha male protecting his family but he's helpless thanks to danish culture. So many times this is shown: asking his wife for help, crying 'cause he hates his life.
The answer to why he let this happen was "because you let me"... brilliant!

No more heroes.
An uptight couple are invited to spend the weekend with another couple they befriended on holiday. As the movie's ominous score will let you know, things get weird.
Many have compared this to Michael Haneke's work, but it's no pale imitation. Shot composition, camera and lighting is all excellent. The sound design is superb - subtle and very detailed. Everyone acts well.
Apparently, some people dislike the film because there is no 'common sense' or whatever, but I saw a movie that uses plot contrivances to illustrate its meta-narrative points of parenthood, cowardice, selfishness and heroism.
I almost gave it an 8, but it could have gone even further with its cruelty and explored the themes more. There was stuff left to do.
If you want fun and thrills - avoid. It's slow, bleak and heartless. But if you want an intelligent, well-structured and thoughtful horror movie, it's a good 'un.

I think no one would just submit, then I remembered millions of sheep lining up for an experimental gene therapy because they were told to. People are sheep.
I dont like this things . bad story waste of time
Oliebol's comment has deeply scarred me from ever befriending a dutch person.
ultra boring movie ,nothjng special. Unfortunately ,i watched it and i wanted to quit but i decided i will still watch until the end. It's okay movie but boring af. i would rate 3/10
Muy regular. Una producción interesante a nivel de imagen y manejo de la fotografía, pero con una historia llena de vacíos, inverosímil y carente de imaginación para atrapar al espectador. Esperaba más de ella, realmente.
this ,movie is a symbolism of the fall of Europe when Muslims invade and leech on western societies where savages from africa and asia are raping european women and her parents are simply watching because they speak no evil because europeans had become cowards where they can't even stand for themselves.
i dont understand why they did nothing. absolutely nothing....
I loved this movie, thought it was really good and the ending OMG !!
The Ending is an utter abominable to watch.
Totally ridiculous. ...ultimate cowardice....just ungrouling unwatchable frustration COWARDICE... WHO LET'S THERE CHILD GET KIDNAPPED?
idiots deserved it all
Who wouldn't fight for their life? the same people who listened to their governments in 2021 and took the experimental vax and that's why we are in the place we are in 2022.
Austin Powers in Goldmember said it all "Freaky Deaky Dutch"… Thanks YTS.
@Viper2227 that about sums it up :)
"Hartstikke leuk!"
could of just left the house
nonsensical, who wouldn't fight for his life ?!
psychological horror
tak Freeman
If a Dutch family ever invites you, you should probably pack your bags and run for your life, or before agreeing to an invitation by such family you'd want to watch this movie. Don't fall for their sweet talking and politeness..and by the way Caitlyn Jenner is a beautiful tall Dutch woman.
there was a line in the movie where they say mermaid symbolizes Denmark, and I can't help but burst out laughing remembering the abomination Disney did to represent it by backwashing their culture.
Almost deserve what they get for being so stupid
they speak English
Not that great.
