  • Martin, a law student, finally found a side hustle, watching the night watch in the hospital morgue, hoping that he could take the opportunity to review his homework, and at the same time help make up for his stretched life. However, his friend Yesi suddenly rose up and suggested that Martin join the game of "big play, big game" to test the courage of the two. Martin readily agreed. In terms of work, due to the darkness and silence of the long night, coupled with the smell of corpses and the feeling of coldness, his eyes and ears began to have problems. Frightened, Martin is implicated in a murder case. A nighttime part-time job just to earn extra money has caused Martin to be killed. What is hidden behind this? The film will give the audience an unexpected ending.

      It's not too scary. I don't like the ending. Just give the young Nikolaj Coster Waldau an extra star in Danish. It always feels emm sticky? Listening to their daily speech is also, er, very difficult to...

    Evaluation action

    Don't think that there are no horror stories in fairy tale kingdoms.
    The film's success lies in the arrangement of the atmosphere. Since most of the filming was filmed in a hospital morgue, the location of the story alone gave people a creepy feeling.
