Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
View MoreThe film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

View More(The few spoilers are very vague in this review).....Same ole' idea, Friday the 13th feel, but in a slightly different and beautiful setting. Having said that, this film was so VERY well done I enjoyed it, even with a lot of it's predictability. It did manage to supply a few small twists towards the end. It starts a bit slow but does pick up. As far as it being a foreign movie, I don't have a problem with subtitles but this movie was particularly very easy to read and watch at he same time. I Especially recommend watching this movie to any one who enjoys the flavor of 80 slasher/horror films. There is a fair amount of blood and violence shown, (after all if IS a HORROR movie) but it is not overly done. This movie does not use gore/blood to shock you, but uses enough to add to the tension/terror of the story. I also enjoyed the strong and smart female lead character that doesn't just scream, run...then trip... and faint..(well okay there was a small trip at the end but she got her due!) This was just a good QUALITY made film, across the board, from acting, editing, pace,score,screenplay/plot and camera! So watch it and enjoy!
View MoreGoing 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.

View MoreFritt Vilt my first Norwagian movie watched it with subtitles. Though it was not an English movie it had so many repeat screenplay that we (horror / thriller lovers) had experienced.For instance to tell it had the hotel set similar to 'the shinning' The killer was a Jason type I know what u did psychopath but fails to say what is exactly wrong with him to kill every one.Since the movie has three parts the first one was like an intro so don't expect so many spine chills all are ultimately guessable ones. But was a worth watch with its second part back to back.I would give 6 on 10
