From Germany, we get a pretty good "no-brainer" of a horror movie.DEAD IN 3 DAYS (In 3 Tagen Bist Du Tot) was shot entirely in the town of Ebensee. The town is a conglomeration of old German archetecture, with the occasional twentieth century artifact stuffed in between the white-washed buildings. The entire town sits on a magnificent lake, which is surrounded by beautiful snow-covered mountains. The scenery alone is worth renting this movie.
Filmed in German with English subtitles, the story is about a group of five friends who are celebrating their final graduation. Each of them get a text message telling them they will be dead in three days. Soon after, one of them mysteriously disappears, only to be found dead. Murdered (0f course).It takes a while for the killer to be revealed, but I had it figured out about mid-way through. Still, I enjoyed watching everything play out. The deaths aren't particularly gory (except for the fish tank). But I enjoyed comparing our youth and our stalker/slasher flicks with German culture. (Rolled cigarettes, anyone?)
My recommendation? If for nothing more than some breathless scenery and a pretty nifty film with which to spend a lazy afternoon.
