Plot: When Nadja becomes pregnant, spouse David and Nadja make an attempt to rekindle their relationship on a romantic hiking trip to the North of Sweden. The trip quickly turns into a nightmare when a ray red laser dot appears in their tent, and they are forced to flee into the unforgiving wilderness pursued by an unknown shooter.
My Movie Review: The movie is worthy seeing mostly plays out like a straightforward slasher horror as you know something's gonna go wrong but nothing can prepare you when that time come just have to be alert sudden adrenaline took place as you put yourself in their situation! Red Dot is amazing makes you cold from the outside in the first two acts then turns everything on its head as more things happened in the past a chance encounter got unpleasant someone to take vengeance' making this more than meet the eye and cold from the inside in the last act! The story there is pretty simple, although that aforementioned twist ending does a great job explaining why they’re being hunted as matter of fact, this twist is worth the time investment alone turning everything upside down- start to question the motives of the different characters:) Imagine you take a wrong turn in Sweden and end up in a snow covered wilderness being pursued by some bearded Scandinavians- make me scared to travel abroad in foreign country!
Critic Reviews: There's a solid 45 minutes here that are pure cinema, all harried movement and sweaty desperation it's safe to say Darborg is a talent to watch. This uneven thriller could have been great, but too many issues keep it from reaching that potential. A relentlessly erratic yet ultimately rewarding piece of work. The idea that things are bad but you could be in these folks' shoes is
the basis for all controlled-fear cinema. Red Dot contorts notion
in an unsettling and unsparing fashion you won't soon forget, winter,
spring, summer or fall. The twists only pay off if you let yourself fall into the same trap our hunted Stockholmies. It was tense, disturbing and well-made. There's nowhere for these two to go beyond deeper into a frozen nightmare, and they drag us the audience with them. Red Dot nails the intensity needed to keep the audience on edge, but the third act was a bit too convoluted for its own good. The dubbing is godawful, but if you want to take it in as background noise, there is that. It's better in Swedish, but even then just passable. Fans of hard and fast survival thrills, Red Dot is certain to satisfy. Adrenaline-fueled and sufficiently vicious, the red dot is on target- and the target is a good one!
