Remco Wiersma At a first glance this movie looks promising. The poster looks good, the killer looks pretty descent and yes, I thought the trailer itself was OK. When you read the plot it immediately reminds you of the great horror classic 'Psycho' which is in itself shouldn't be a big problem considering the fact that movies always recycle the same stuff for decades. Being inspired by these movies could result in a new (cult)classic.Sadly this didn't happen here. The real terror of enduring this badly made flick already begins in the first minutes of the movie. And it doesn't get better until the end credits roll on the screen. The look and feel of the movie isn't natural. It looks like everything was edited later on in the movie. The Polaroid pictures that the killer leaves behind to let the victims know he is coming is an example of this. These just look terrible and WHY would a killer (who just wants to kill) leave pictures behind letting the victim know he is there before killing them while he could just kill them off instead of taking the freaking picture?!Besides the major plot holes, bad camera, bad music, bad editing, bad special effects and the terrible acting this movie is just not good. It lacks character explanation which is essential for this type of movie. You must want the Heroin to win and succeed or even be excited when she is trying. Unfortunately you never feel for any character in this movie. Maybe it's because of the actors who just where more involved in trying to speak perfect English, when they all are Swedish, which resulted in (again) an unnatural feel.On the plus side, I have to admit, there are 2 scenes which are absolutely brilliant. (One is when a victim clicks on the light and the killer is next to her bed. The other one when the heroin is walking in a dark room and not looks back but we see the killer waiting in the dark.)Sadly, I was tempted to watch this when it still had a rating of 7,4 and someone called this better then 'Let the Right One In'. Obviously these guys have worked on this film or had a relation with the film. Saying that this is better than (also recent Scandinavian horror) 'Let the Right One In' and 'Frostbitten' is saying that you can better eat a rotten tomato then a perfect gourmet dinner.So, all in considering, I have to give this movie 1 star. If I could give this movie 0 stars then still I had to give 1 star. Just for the effort and the 2 great scenes.

Digitalspark I would have gave it a 0/10 if I could as well.There is NOTHING new in this. I don't care if it's Swedish or not. It's the same predictable, slow, boring, gory crap that movies have these days.It's not even scary. It has no plot. And whatever it is that I watched is just recycled crap from the 80s.And the acting, oh boy. It's TERRIBLE. LAUGHABLE. It's not convincing, and it sounds like listening to a book on tape. No emotion in the voices at all.Don't even bother watching this catastrophe.

glentrevaskis After watching this I would have to say that the reason the producers settled on the title insane is because YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY INSANE TO WATCH IT. To be fair i did enjoy the little joke about the Swedish chef because it gave me a fond memory of the Muppet's. But maybe that was a direct reference to the writers....a bunch of Muppet's. Seriously if this has been rated by swedes as one of the best horror movies they've ever made.....they should keep them to themselves........INSANE. I looked closer at the credits to see a little about the production team thinking that maybe it was somebody just out of film school and maybe they deserved a little pat on the back for their first go....but sadly no Tomas Sandquist (one of the directors) is the only person working on his first project...everyone else is experienced...stick to Sweden guys..and p.s. Tomas pick some better people to work with next time

svartnos123 This film is actually a really nice tribute to 80's slasher. I cannot believe all the negative critics on this site. A wonderful tribute to Psycho! I hope this movie is going well in the world and the film-makers continue to make genre films in Sweden. I loved Evil Ed and this is not worse, just a different kind of movie. The end sequence is absolutely fantastic. Would love to know how the scene was done? Otherwise, I think the acting was OK, but the film feels dubbed? The photo is brilliant and it is a fantastic environment. Where is this hotel? The story was a bit predictable but there is a nice twist at the end. The murders are cruel, and the makeup effects are brilliant. To be an extreme low-budget film, I think it's fantastic!
