An unhappy Swedish-Norwegian couple go to a remote cabin for the weekend with the sole intention of killing each other. So far, so The War of the Roses, but this being Nordic and with the director of schlock horror films such as Dead Snow at the helm, The Trip is guaranteed to be both considerably darker and more ludicrously violent than that. Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie give it a decent shot as the bitter duo, but when the cabin is invaded by three fugitive killers, it all unravels rather swiftly, like a Grand Guignol Funny Games. Inoffensive, for all it tries its bloody hardest to offend, but quite disposable.
4/10
