What is exactly is with this hollywood trend of turning folk stories into adult stories. Granted I'm well aware the pre-Grimm brothers versions were not exactly G-rated... but still.
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt call this as Hollywood as you point it out to be. It`s only produced by Will Ferrell and his friends. The director is a norwegian known for g-rated movies. I like the idea with the movie. It looks far better than just a folk story-slasher.
ReplyDeleteI need this movie purely for the wonder that is Jeremy Renner. A R Rated version could have potential.
ReplyDeleteawesome news! Blood & gore - my kind of stuff.
ReplyDeleteinteresting take on the lore, but with this decent cast, I'm very interested
