This is one of the worst movies I have seen. It is not funny at all but extremely boring.
"Small Town Killers", the eighth feature film by Danish writer-director Ole Bornedal, suffers from a somewhat weak script, but it has a nicely weird and cynical tone and Ulrich Thomsen and Nicolas Bro make a charming pair of friends.
In most horror movies, namely slashers, sex kills. In dark comedies, it's the opposite.
What happened to Ole Bornedal?The failure is even worse, considering the four main actors are actually very competent.
This is a dark quirky comedy taking place in a rural area of Denmark, very much in the style of Blinkende Lygter/Flickering Lights (2000) and Adams Æbler/Adam's Apples (2005).In many of the scenes we follow either one or the other of two pairs of actors.
Watchers of Danish movies from abroad, who are fairly acquainted with Danish geography must get the impression that Jutland is predominantly populated by hillbillies. Some examples: The Art of Crying (Peter Schønau Fog, 2006) with a psychopathic pedophile father.
Warning this is a spoiler!Complete failureReally the worst from Ole Bornedahl ever.
