Cold Prey in October
16 September 2007

What's the best Norwegian horror movie you've seen this year? OK, we don't get to see many Norwegian films at all in the UK and the news that a horror movie hailing from Norway is attracting some favourable reviews is surely of interest. Enter Cold Prey (Fritt vilt), a 2006 genre piece from director Roar Uthaug.

Following a gruesome accident, five friends’ idyllic snowboarding expedition to the Jotunheimen mountains takes a turn for the eerie when they are forced to take shelter from a ravaging storm in an abandoned ski lodge. Empty and silent, the cavernous lodge seems deserted – but there are secrets here. These secrets are long buried, long forgotten and very, very dangerous. Before the night is out, those who survive will have discovered the true meaning of terror and looked into the very face of evil.

In the classic tradition of seminal horror films Wolf Creek, Halloween and My Bloody Valentine, Cold Prey is a tense, stylish and viciously unnerving journey into a frozen nightmare.

Cold Prey has been announced for a UK DVD release on 22nd October 2007 by Metrodome at the RRP of £17.99. Also on the disc is the original theatrical trailer and a 'making of' featurette.
