Perfect cast and a good story

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Cristal
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The first one I rank as one of my favorite non-English speaking horror movies with excellent scares and excellent cast and characters that all felt real.The second one tried to follow that idea, ended up IMO not as great but still good.The third one however is just plain boring, characters are boring and paper-thin, it's like they solely exist for one purpose... to be slaughtered by our villain.A prequel so none of the characters from the previous films re appear (for obvious reasons) even our villain Fjellemannen is played by someone else which shouldn't be a problem though as he always covered his face in the previous movies and he was played by 2 different characters in Cold Prey and Cold Prey 2 without at least me noticing it.But here he is just not particularly menacing, granted he was still a rookie when it came to his field of expertice: slaughtering innocent people, but he should still come off as scary which he really doesn't this time... But then he only appears to pop out from time to time so that could be an issue as well.No the main focus are a bunch of Norwegian youth tourists (yet again but a lot more of them) and none of them particularly excites or impresses in their characters but I wouldn't put the whole blame on them.The director had only one directorial feature to his name before doing this movie, and that was a 6 minute long shortfilm... Surely an easier task to do than to direct a movie 15 times the length of that and a sequel to a beloved Horror series at that.The script is at fault as well, it's just poorly written and should have been so much more... Maybe having 5 people write it was a bad idea, cause it just feels like a bunch of random ideas put together on paper with no regards to the full picture.Seen it twice now, didn't like it the first time and really didn't like it the second, where as for instance the first I like tons every time I see it.So I'd skip out on the third one completely if I was you... Well that's a lie I guess since I did end up watching it twice but... if you decide to give it a go then know that it's not gonna be particularly good and don't say you weren't warned.

In 1976, in Jotunheimen, an abused boy stabs to death his mother Sigrid and his stepfather Gunnar in an abandoned hotel and the family is considered missing by the local Sheriff Einar (Terje Ranes) and authorities.Twelve years later, the teenagers Hedda (Ida Marie Bakkerud) and her boyfriend Anders (Kim S. Falck-Jørgensen), Siri (Julie Rusti), Knut (Sturla Valldal Rui), Magne (Pål Stokka) and Simen (Arthur Berning) take a lift with Sheriff Einar telling that they will hike in the woods. However they go to the abandoned hotel expecting to spend the night in the place but they find dust and rats and prefer to stay camping in the woods.In the morning, Siri and Knut fall into a trap of the eremite hunter Jon (Nils Johnson) and Knut is seriously wounded. Siri climbs the hole to seek for help to Knut, but she is captured by Jon while a stranger kills Knut. Soon the teenagers are hunted down by the creepy serial-killer. "Fritt Vilt III" is an unoriginal slasher movie with the usual clichés. The only thing different in this movie is the language, since it is spoken in Norwegian. The rest is the usual stupidities of this genre, when the victims always take the most imbecile decision and the serial- killer is indestructible. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Presos no Gelo III – O Início" ("Trapped in the Ice III – The Beginning")

Slasher movies might try to be cute (see first part of the Cold Prey series or High Tension for that matter), but this is as down and dirty as you might expect it to be. It is also exactly what you think it will be throughout. In other words: It is dire predictable. It's still nicely done and all, you just can see where it is heading (actually you might know where it is heading before it even begins). If you don't let that spoil your "enjoyment" of the movie, you are good to go.In this case, it is not really necessary to have seen the other two movies of the "franchise". Actually you might be better off not having seen them. Slasher fans will enjoy this (I guess most did enjoy the first one too), but for everyone else this might prove to not be enough of anything to make them wanna watch it through

When I first heard that they were making a third "Cold Prey" movie, which pre dates the first two showing a back story on the killer, I was actually quite pleased, as we only saw glimpses in the first two. I am a big fan of the first two and wrote glowing reviews for them rating them 10 and 9, but this one I only rate 5, because quite frankly I was really disappointed.Okay the beginning opened up quite well, when we finally get to see what happened to his parents and the way they treated him, but that was over in 10 minutes and then it cuts to a group of teens camping in the nearby woods. I was hoping the third would somehow capture both positive aspects of each film, but sadly, Cold Prey 3 turned out to be your pretty standard backwoods slasher that we've seen several times before.Another complaint is that this one is set in summer time which kinda defeats the object of being called "Cold Prey" There's even a clichéd scene where some of the characters decide to go skinny dipping in a lake, which seems to be some sort of requirement in backwoods slashers for some odd reason. Speaking of characters, none of them are likable, in my opinion. With the little development we're given for each person, it leaves us with little reason to care whether they'll somehow survive through the ordeal.All in all "Cold Prey 3" isn't a particularly bad film, as a stand alone it would have been pretty good, it just lacks the brilliance the first two, so I hope it's now come to an end.
