Skyggen Extra: The Mind of a Killer (2005)

- written August 2006

Summary: Max has just been chased through the woods by a masked killer who ends up framing him for a series of murders. Max must do anything to save himself but every step means he’s closer to the real killer.           Overall: I spent the entire movie trying to figure out what the first word of the title meant. Well it’s Danish and means “shadow.” Knowing this in advance, you may be able to see where the film is going…but man does it take forever to get there. I didn’t find the character of Max at all worth watching and even not very interesting. The film takes forever to get to the point as Max tends to just stand in certain scenes and not do anything. The “killer” character was fun, amusing and in way few too many scenes. And the film suffered by a complete lack of sound effects. Several times there are scenes where we should be hearing something and only silence comes to us…which gets annoying. I’d skip it.           Comparison: Confessions of a Serial Killer meets Angel Heart
