Film Review – Thale

Those who prefer their horror cinema to resemble a demolition derby
would be wise to steer clear of “Thale,” a Norwegian effort that takes
its time to arrive nowhere in particular, showing remarkable restraint
with common displays of violence and gore. Electing a more reserved
direction of tension, the feature plays with stillness and the unknown,
doing an effective job building mystery despite a no-budget production
scope that keeps the action confined to a single dingy basement.
Intriguing without ever making the jump to riveting, “Thale” is solid
work from writer/director Aleksander Nordaas, who shapes a beguiling
monster movie without ever truly indulging the tropes that often
accompany the chaos. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
