This film article proves quite difficult to improve as well as find reliable sources due to its lack of notability. Deleting it would be the better option. Blue sphere 15:54, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: It's hard to find strong English-language sources and I don't speak Danish, but a 2009 PROD was contested because "film has been reviewed by multiple RS, won a Robert Award and was nominated for several others (Denmark's highest filming honor)". The sources I found only suggest one nomination, for a song from the soundtrack. I've added that to the article. Between that and being remade as a film starring a major actress (Amanda Seyfried) I think this is worth keeping, but I wouldn't fight for it hard. Mortee (talk) 21:49, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Film passes requirements for WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. Multiple reviews by major national newspapers [1], [2], [3]. Won the Robert Award (Danish Academy Award) for best original song and Jury Award at the Leeds International Film Festival [4]. Received some analysis (5 pages) in book manuscript by a Swedish university professor Niels Penke, ed. (2013). Der skandinavische Horrorfilm: Kultur- und ästhetikgeschichtliche Perspektiven [The Scandinavian Horrorfilm: cultural and aesthetic-historical perspectives] (in German). Bielefeld. p. 302-307.{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: ___location missing publisher (link) There should be enough significant coverage here to pass notability criteria. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 19:36, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good job, mate! I shall add some of these in to the article. Someone should take up the mantle with regard to the Danish sources as I don't speak that language. While Google Translate might be a good idea, I might mistakenly add the wrong infos and I wouldn't want that. Blue sphere 07:01, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I've done a slight copy-edit and added references. I think it's good enough as a start article now. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 20:27, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
