I watched the film last night and if I hadn't already read the book I would have thought it was one of the best crime thrillers ever. Even though I knew what was coming I still jumped out of my seat and the film as a whole was very chilling.

This is why Total Film held their screening of this at Frightfest, despite it not being a' horror film'.

Saw this today at York City Screen (Picturehouse), and it was fairly busy. PeteYork and Allsinging (and some friends & family) were also there.

I never managed to finish the book before I went (having only started it yesterday!), but and quite happy to continue reading as I really loved what I have read, and loved the film even more.

I took a little while to get into the Swedish with English subtitles, which is a bit surprising, as this is the second Swedish film I have seen this month. The characters were excellent, the acting very convincing and the plot riveting (even though I guessed most of the story...) It was quite 'tough' in places, but by no means was it a horror flick, IMHO. It is tense, but not so much that it scares you witless. The only downside is that it is a tad too long without an interval, especially as it started 15 minutes late - or maybe I should just drink less coffee! ;)

At least a 9/10 for me... maybe a bit more. I cannot wait to see the next one in the series, and the one after that. o/ o/

Just to echo Cortone's report as to how good it was: having read I knew what was coming, but really enjoyed it nevertheless.

A special thanks to Steve9782 and bevvy for their help with tickets and Allsinging for her kind offer - very much appreciated! o/
I once went hiking with M. C. Escher. It was uphill all the way there and uphill all the way back.

Have to agree with Peteyork and Cortone on a really good film..and one i would watch again. Now i've seen the film I'd like to read the book or should i say start the series :D A good 9 from me o/

The subtitles were done well, not too fast where you couldn't keep up :D
