A movie that made organ donations drop.
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The movie looks a bit outdated (30 years) considering the pacing but it has solid character development.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.
