Movie Review: Fritt Vilt (Cold Prey)
Rating: 
Directed By: Roar Uthaug
Starring: Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Rolf Kristian Larsen
Plot Synopsis:
Five teenage snowboarders are forced to spend the night in a mysteriously abandoned ski lodge. Except somebody – or something – already lives there. It is huge, savage and unstoppable…and now it’s pissed off. But if you think this is going to be the usual ‘trapped teens stalked by a maniac’ movie, you’re dead wrong.
From the first chilling kill to the final horrific twist, prepare yourself for the smart, intense and award-winning European sensation that has terrified audiences around the world and put the edge back into the body-count genre.
Review:
Slasher movies are never going to win any awards for plot or characterization. What separates the multitude of films in this sub-genre of Horror is the execution. The most recent Friday the 13th remake comes to mind as well as it’s classic original and films like John Carpenter’s Halloween. Young adults or teens stalked by unstoppable killer.

Review:
10:15pm, on Friday the 13th 2009 I sat in a packed theater filled with 75% black hoodie and T-shirt wearing males. The remaining 25% was comprised of high school guys with unsuspecting girlfriend in tow. Oh, and one parent who thought they could hid their infant (hearing a baby crying during a horror flick is really strange).
