Back in 2017 I found this film in the bargain bin at Saturn, a big media shop
opposite my cinema. I watched it once and didn't think I'd watch it again, but
today my son Benjamin asked if he could watch it, so I sat with him. It was
given away free with a Sony Playstation 4 as an example of a Blu-ray disc.
The advertising material calls this the best slasher movie ever made. Claims
like that are common, and they're never true. If a film really is the best
slasher movie ever made, or even in the top 10, it will speak for itself.
One thing I noticed today is that the film isn't very Norwegian. What I
mean is, Scandinavian horror films usually have a very slow pace, relying on
atmosphere rather than jump scares. That isn't the case with "Cold Prey". It's
more like American horror films; or rather, it's more like low-budget American
films.
The film has inspired two other films in the series, a sequel and a prequel,
so it must have been successful. My son loved it, and he says I should give it
five stars. I told him he should write his own blog. In my opinion, three
stars is all it deserves.
