In the opening scene, all the fire was real. The director and the other crew visited a fire technical station in Helsingør, and received the help of some firemen to make the scene look more realistic, setting fire to additional things.

User Reviews

Extremely lousy!

people giving this worthless movie 10/10 must be mentally retarded or personally involved with cast, crew or director. This is painfully embarrassing, amateurish & unoriginal. A stain of shame on the danish film industry (which is already lousy, this just beats all). AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

Classic haunting-flick; dead returns in spirit-shape to avenge injustice. NOT scary. Not well acted. Not funny. Very sad release, I can't believe there's been spent time and money on this utter crap.

Some of the actors are very famous in Denmark. Hopefully their careers will look very different after saying yes to this BS.
