Ole Bornedal directs Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Sofie Gråbøl and Kim Bodnia in this Danish thriller where the new night watchman of the morgue begins to notice strange going ons.

Men Behaving Badly around a morgue. With a serial killer. Loutish black comedy for the first two acts but well made enough that you trust it is headed somewhere. The final set pieces are quite strong but after a lot of distraction there aren’t any true surprises. Noteworthy for seeing hot future telly stars in early lead roles and being a sort of Danish Shallow Grave. I remember the Hollywood remake being a bit more consistently unnerving.
