I saw this for the first time recently n got totally disappointed.
The settings ain't that great. It takes away the tension n suspense. The locations are picturesque but doesn't add.
None of the kills are memorable or brutal n there is absolutely no tension n suspense.
Some of the scenes are very predictable.
The lead character from 1 n 2 Jannicke, is a strong protagonist n reminds us so much of yesteryear's bad ass female characters.
Cold Prey 3 has the disadvantage of not having a protagonist as strong as Jannicke.
This is a prequel to the first film, set in the 1980s but an unnecessary one.
While the first one reminded of The Shining due to its snowy landscape, the 2nd one of Halloween 2 n Visiting Hours due to the hospital set up.
Both were set during the chilly winter with lots of snow which added more atmosphere n isolation but the 3rd one ruined it by the summer set up n the forest locations. The 3rd one is more like a backwoods slasher in the veins of Wrong Turn, The Rituals 1977, Just Before Dawn, Deliverance, The Final Terror, FT13, etc.
While being set in summer with lots of ponds n lakes around, we expected some nudity but alas.
A girl undresses but we don't get to see any boobs. So uncool man.
