It's only days to go for Gina's (Viktoria Winge) wedding to Even
(Anders Rydning), when suddenly in the parking garage of the office she
works at, she's grabbed from behind, thrown into a van, and crowded by
some hooded and masked figures - who turn out to be her closest friends
(Tinashe Williamson, Julia Schacht, Marte
Sæteren, Linni Meister, Veslemøy
Mørkrid) who have conspired to kidnap her for a massive hen night in the
country, a hen party that was to include even Gina's exes - who ultimately
don't turn up though. No big deal so far, as the girls still have their
fun amongst one another - and then they send Gina away on a pretense, and
suddenly she finds herself on the run from an axe-wielding maniac.
However, she soon figures this is part of her batchelorette party, as the
girls know about her predilection for horror movies. And thus they send
her on a wild goose chase that takes her through many well-known horror
clichés, which actually appeals to Gina after the first shock - but then
she finds actual severed heads, her exes dead and chained up in a barn,
and the masked, axe-wielding killer turns out her husband-to-be Even - so
somethings seriously wrong here, and suddenly Gina realizes she has to put
up a fierce fight to escape what she at first thought to be a mere prank
... Now I won't claim that this movie is free of horror
clichés - and this is really one of the key points of the movie, that it
plays with genre mainstays before slowly subverting them, only to in the
finale turn everything completely on its head once again. So in a way, the
film's a constant guessing game - but that doesn't mean it just relies on
its novel plot twists but is actually well built-up, genre savvy enough to
create all the right tension in all the right moments, and carried by a
solid and relatable cast to make this one cool genre trip - just one that
will (totally intentionally) throw you off every now and again.
