Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
johnwillis49 If you want a straight up solid slasher through and through look to Cold Prey. Why IMDb has this listed as a drama is beyond me.While on an off the maps snowboarding expedition one of the group breaks his leg badly. phones don't work in the middle of the mountains(beautiful scenery in Norway) and its getting dark, he cant walk to the car so they find close shelter in an abandoned hotel. Simple Premise, expertly told and paced. Not once did I not believe the characters or the choices they make.This really could be the most all around solid slasher i've seen and I have seen a ton of them. They are my favorite type of movie. THIS ONE IS GREAT. Really Solid Story as far as slashers come. Good cinematography, really breeds fear through its creepy shots. Solid sound editing/mixing. 0 plot holes. Pretty scary. Extremely... well... paced...That said don't expect anything new. Not my top slasher but definitely top 10. (Inside, High Tension, Halloween and Ils and the Strangers rank slightly higher for me if you count those last two as slashers,which I do) Every character is likable in some respect so your actually scared for them unlike the douchy characters in most modern American slashers. Really well acted by everyone in the film. Only 5 named characters. Killer is effectively scary. My only gripe about him is that he doesn't have the same iconic-ness that I feel he should(maybe my appreciation will grow). Solid scares but nothing absolutely omg heart stopping terrifying. Scariness would be 7.5/10 so still decent.Really if you enjoy a good slasher and haven't seen this do yourself a favor and watch it. You will not regret it.8/10 for the movie 9/10 in the slasher subcategory
Manav Singh After Americans and Europeans now it is the turn of Norway to give us a good slasher film..Comparatively Europeans are far far better in making movies in this genre than Americans..High tension,martyrs and frontiers(all french) etc are few perfect examples of well made movies..If you have'nt watched them then please do watch to know the difference..Cold prey aka Fritt vilt proves to be a gift from Norway to all the slasher fans..It is not just about the brutal killings and the bloodshed which in my opinion is the only thing Americans keep in mind while making the movie..I am not panning them here..Yes they do make good slasher movies like Halloween,Texas chainsaw massacre etc to name some but they concentrate more on the nature of murders..They put more energy on designing bloody gory scenes than other aspects..To be honest cold prey has very few killing slasher scenes but still it keeps you interested and engaged..Thanks to the awesome direction,brilliant sound effects,fine screenplay,snowy landscape and a suspenseful climax,which we often don't see in American slasher films..Some scenes are fascinating,eye catching and will hold you completely spellbound..You are bound to experience some unavoidable goosebumps too..Now if you watch it carefully then at the end of the movie some questions will arise inside your mind??? 1)Why was the fractured guy made to memorize the label on the tin while the female protagonist goes to search for rescue equipment?2)Why was the young boy who was running with fear in the beginning of the movie murdered by his own parents??Was it because he was ugly?? Perhaps yes and if no then what was the reason??3)Why was boy's father on a killing spree??What made him a psychopath?4)Where was the boy's mother??Did his father kill her too??These confusions led me to rate it 7 out of 10.Otherwise it deserved higher rating.I might have to watch it again or it's sequel to get my answersNever the less Cold Prey is a fine attempt by Norwegians in slasher genre..Watch it..This thought provoking film won't bore you..
BA_Harrison Going by the impressive quotes on the DVD cover for Norwegian horror Cold Prey ('probably the most perfect slasher ever made' wrote one particularly well-known movie website), I was expecting a slick, powerful, and refreshingly original slasher prepared to rewrite the rules in order to constantly surprise and terrify its audience.What I actually got was an admittedly well-made thriller, but one lacking any true level of innovation. In fact, the basic set-up and the manner in which events play out in Cold Prey are as tired and predictable as your average US slasher (it's certainly not 'F***ing Awesome', as the same site also claims), with the usual uninspired jump scares, the same tired death scenes, and the oh-so-clichéd final girl vs the murderous psycho.It's moderately fun, moderately entertaining, and moderately gory, and features at least one scantily clad hottie covered in blood, but it ain't anywhere near as brilliant as you have probably heard.
