Fritt Vilt

Where do i start about this film,its a story of a group of enthusiastic youngsters who are looking forward to a fun vacation but find something terrifying instead with their lives at stake.This is a summary which obviously looks interesting and especially for those who are inclined towards thrillers/horror films,i am one of them,this keeps me on a constant search for such summaries.Many of these so called thrillers turn out to be a low budget trash with bad stories and highly unprofessional approach,but after seeing COLD PREY i assure you that its nothing like the trash i have mentioned b,its a brilliant thriller movie with a perfect score on movie making scale with a simple yet terrifying story making it an appreciable 90 minutes experience...definitely worth watching!!!

It was a movie that started in the style of a classic horror movie. It wasn't a very excited movie except for the chase scenes. It was cliché with the characters and everything.

I first saw this in 2007 on a dvd which I own.

This movie raised my curiosity since it was part of FrightFest n there were n are many glowing reviews.

Revisited it recently.

Most of us do love horror films set in a snowy backdrop n this movie managed to capture the beautiful mountains of Norway splendidly.

The disappointment is that the kills are few, too quick n they are not gory or gruesome enough but still somehow I enjoyed the movie.

The killer's story is revealed in the end and it is a very poignant one.

In the movie Blood Runs Cold I have complained how the killer is able to see thru those glasses n costume was beyond me. In this movie too I am surprised how the killer manges to see n out run the victims.

The lead actress Ingrid Bolsø Berdal reminded me of Charlize Theron.

After reading the other user comments about how good this movie was I have to give it to you people straight, the movie is okay but we serious horror fans have seen it all before.

The story starts with a couple of guys and girls heading for Jotunheimen(a big ass mountain)to snowboard. When one of the guys breaks his foot they have to seek cover in a abandoned mountain hotel... get the picture? I mean why the hell do they think it's abandoned in the first place?

Anyway, after settling down and all that other crap they agree to stay the night in the hotel. And of course as in any other horror movie we ever seen there is always a bright guy saying: "Hey wanna check out the rest of the hotel?" Whats very fascinating though is that one of the couple end up in room 237,guess these guys haven't seen "The Shining" yet? Okay, from know on you get the idea whats gonna happen, they discover that they are not alone, they wanna get out, they cant get out because the psychopath killer is one big Jason mother#¤%&/! or something like that AND (pause) the killing spree begins..

"Fritt Vilt" has borrowed a lot from movies like "The Shining","I know what you did last summer" and a kind of "Hills Have Eyes" beginning, mostly cheap scares but some good ones to. Like I said, the movie is good but we have already seen a lot of this stuff before, as a Norwegian movie its a step in the right direction but if you wanna see a horror flick beyond this see: Villmark. Thats a great horror flick ;)

Thanks for reading!

While snowboarding in the ice mountains with Jannicke (Ingrid Bolse Berdal), her boyfriend Eirik (Tomas Alf Larsen), Mikail (Enfre Martin Midtistigen) and his girlfriend Ingunn (Viktoria Winge), Morten Tobias (Rolf Kristian Larsen) has an accident and breaks his leg. His friends seek shelter to spend the cold night and they find an abandoned hotel in the middle of nowhere. They discover that the hotel was closed in 1975 when the son of the owners vanished in the mountains. However on the next morning they find that they are trapped in the hotel with a psychopath killer, and they have to protect themselves trying to survive.

"Fritt Vilt" is an engaging thriller that has a predictable story but entertains. I startled many times along the feature, and I liked the performances of the unknown cast. The gorgeous Ingrid Bolse Berdal has the strongest character and her performance is very convincing. I have just seen in IMDb that there is a sequel of this movie. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Presos no Gelo" ("Trapped in the Ice")
