During a visit to Bill Conolly John Sinclair is attacked by vampire bats of the red Vampiro del Mar. But soon he realizes that this was only a feint and he should distract from the actual target of the murder League. And so he sets out to soon to Lofoten, where in the lonely woods the Strigen mischief ...
The plotline to the Strigen, owls with a skull on his shoulders, John Sinclair busy for quite some time. And in the 95th episode are the ominous beings at the center of that time in Norway propel this mischief. And the murder League to Pamela Scott, who hold the team to the Ghostbusters always on their toes have, here again with their fingers in the game. The fact that both parties are not exactly agree, ensures for a more dramatic effect in the act, which appears to be divided into two parts in terms of mood. In the first half dominated by a sinister, somber mood, the dark forests of the Lofoten is this an ideal venue. It disappear people who Strigen emerge, everything seemed very harmonious. Especially towards the end of this atmospheric narrative is replaced by a Sinclair-typical and quickly narrated spectacle, in which the action stressed struggles are in the foreground. It is quite turbulent and not always straightforward to simply dissolve some things on. A typical episode of the series with an exciting narrative.
Numerous speakers who have already appeared in previous episodes, provide here again for a good performance, among them Katrin Fröhlich, Helmut Krauss and Detlef Bierstedt. In a smaller supporting roles Achim book was well chosen as Nils Björnisson. He speaks the eccentric woodsman with a knarrigen, expressive voice and presents it so skillfully. Jonas Brendboe spoken by Hannes Stelzer, with lots of energy and a matching phrase, he thus creates an interesting character. Has liked me Maria Hartmann as Merle Nerhus, with deep and catchy voice speaks the reclusive Norwegian.
The acoustic design has been re-implemented here with a lot of effort, especially the first scenes in the dark and mysterious Lofoten are very consistent and atmospherically succeeded. And towards the end it will come back big blast that action stressed struggles with the murder League and the Strigen were noisy with concise and acoustic effects come.
The cover of the result is very simple but can perhaps because quite convincing. A bald skull emblazoned on it, about the snowy owl, which plays an important role in radio drama, which has widely spread the wings and on the viewer seems zuzufliegen. The simple black background and the striking yellow lettering for this purpose are suitable supplements.
Conclusion: Very different moods are taken up here. While the first part is quite atmospheric and scary, comes towards the end again on a very action-stressed mood. Although this is told fast-paced, but sometimes looks too hectic. Overall, a typical episode of the series.
