Snarveien/Detour

This is in short another horror movie from Norway, this time not starring a group of naïve and unpleasant young men and women, all to disagreable to find mercy before the viewer.
This time it's a young couple - Marti (Sondre Krogtof Larsen) and Lina (Marte Germaine Christensen) - preparing for a party and heading between Norway and Sweden in order to buy liquor, being much cheaper in Sweden than in the oil country in the West.
On the way over the border, they are stopped by a policeman (with the name of Gunnar as a matter of fact - actor Jens Hultén) at a control and of course they fear that he will start asking questions about whether or not they carry something over the border in the car - and so he does but not as thouroughly as they feared.

He though explains that there has been an accident on the road, therefore the road block but inform them about another road to take, being a detour but leading them...? Well, it becomes the detour of their life. What they don't see but the viewer, is that they are being under video surveillance all the time.
When they experience flat tiers (casued by someone having put nails on the road) get stuck in the forrest (of course there has to be a forrest as in most, not least, Scandinavian horror films), they 'stumble' over a young woman (or she rather stumbles over them) who more or less falls in front of their car. She is bleeding and they wonder what has happened.
All of a sudden the Swedish policeman is standing right beside them, telling them that he knows this woman and that she lives with her grandparents, having had drug problems.
Together they take her there and then he promise to help them with their continuing travel.
The couple find the grand parents somewhat bizarre, not least the grandfather.
When being there Martin finds a cellar with tv-screens displaying a woman tied to a chair and obviously in great pain.

This is the start of a nightmare for the young couple, a nightmare leading in to the world of snuff movies, on internet displaying your last hours in life after being more or less tortured.

Two third of the film is quite well produced and the actors are good, not least when actor Jens Hultén, in the role of the policeman, is acting with small means, being very frightening and quitely menacing towards the couple, this hidden beneath a very kind and helpful surface.
Of course we soon understand that he is the mastermind behind all this, even if we also get to meet a rather peculiar man living with the old couple.
From the arrival at the house, a fight for survival begins, and we don't know if they will succeed to escape, neither the couple nor the young woman being held hostage, facing her transmitted death, something Martin also is facing being imprisoned he too.
Another problem with the film is that one all to clearly see the direct references to other horror movies, as "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre", "The Shining" and many more. Sometimes it's almost a sort of plagiarism.
This might be intended by the director but it's not original and lower the value of his work.
