Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

TdSmth5 In the intro we see some kid being followed in the snow, he falls into a cleft and someone buries him under snow.During the intro credits we learn that plenty of people have been disappearing. Next we meet 5 kids on a trip to the mountains, two couples and a guy. They hike up a mountain so they have a nice long trip down on their snowboards. The single guy hits something or is hit by someone on the way down and breaks his leg in an open fracture no less. No problem, one of the girls know exactly what to do and forces the bones back in place. And fortunately not to far away they spot some buildings. They make it there; it's an abandoned hotel/resort.Our heroine then proceeds to dump booze on the wound and super glue it shut. While there the other couple made up of the obligatory kids who can't keep their hands off each other goes to a room, the girl changes her mind and the guy leaves angry. Suddenly, 40 minutes into the movie finally someone attacks the girl. But no one finds out till the next day.It doesn't take long for our injured guy to feel much better and limp around everywhere. The heroine's boyfriend leaves to get help but has a run in with the violent stranger. Eventually the three survivors realize the girl is missing and that they are not alone. Of course they find the killers shrine where he keeps paper clippings and hundreds of trophies from countless victims. It takes a while but finally they confront the guy, and in the end we do learn something about the stranger.Cold Prey is a boring but well made slasher lacking violence, gore, nudity, interesting characters, and a story. Sure the kids are somewhat likable but we learn nothing about them. At least they don't scream at each other for an hour as Americans would do. We know nothing about the killer, we don't even see him all that much, just shots of an arm or his legs. But the revelation about him and his motives is interesting and well done. Direction is good and the movie is professionally done, but then again they're not doing a whole lot that would require special expertise. If you've never seen a slasher, this would be a good place to start and one can understand that if this is not your genre you could enjoy this, it's a mild enough for a date. But if you expect more from a slasher, this movie doesn't deliver.

Tully Lafferty Cold Prey is a Horror/thriller movie that starts out with five friends heading for a nice day skiing and snowboarding. With the traditional slopes crowed the group heads an isolated mountain. When one of them becomes injured they have no choice but to seek shelter in an abandon hotel.While this movie was subtitled for me I found the acting good overall, with a strong performance from the lead female. The rest of the cast provides good performances. While the antagonist is silent his acting is on par with the rest of the cast.The cinematography is good, with the setting providing great opening visuals. I would have liked to see a darker atmosphere once in the hotel but it gets along just fine as it is.The plot is is where this movie will break down for some people. That's because on the surface it's your typical horror/slasher movie. It's kind of predictable, but from my point of view I think most horror/slasher movies are going to be predictable. So a long as you can look past this "problem" I would recommend this movie.To sum up, if your looking for a movie that breaks new ground in the horror/thriller genre, this is not the movie for you. But if your looking for a movie that does everything great and keeps you wanting to see more then you will find Cold Prey a good addition to the genre.

Butterfly_47 FRITT VILT, one of my favorite new slasher movies. The plot is simple, nothing special and sort of predictable but that's typical for slasher movies.The movie is very entertaining, it does start a bit slow but it makes up for that. You won't feel bored. The cast is good, too. I especially liked Jannicke (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal), she is such a strong and smart character.The movie is very suspenseful despite the fact that it's kinda predictable. I loved the setting and the atmosphere. Some parts are really creepy, the killer is really creepy too in my opinion.I enjoyed this movie very much. It's definitely worth watching! 8/10

amalh it actually has everything you possibly want out of a horror film: group of adults going on vacation (ski), force to stay in a remote abandoned "evil" hotel, try to have some s**, discovery its not that easy! the location was great too, you actually feel the fear and the darkness of that place. The story could have had more substance and at first it seems we have seen it before, but its still very entertaining and scary in the right sort of way (not too much gore) - which make it ideal to watch with the girlfriend as well. shame we don't see more examples like that from Norway, like "Dead-Snow" which i liked as well (although less scary then this one... hmmm, i think). well done. loved it. give it a try.
