 Honestly, Really GoodMay 05, 2009
By JBizzle
"Da Fizzle Shizzle, Dizzle"
I popped this one in not expecting much. More straight to video drek from Starz I thought, formerly known as the once great Anchor Bay. I watched not expecting much, & to my suprise, it just kept getting better & better. This one really & truely is worth watching. This is slasher the way it used to be done... the way that it should be done. Now a quick warning for that certain few that can't get into subtitled films. This is in fact a foreign film & is in fact in a different language. The acting is great, the suspense, the horror, the villain, the blood & guts all done top notch, hats off to the makers of this film. This is a truely spooky flick that has you at the edge of your seat, well worth at least a rental, I was certainly impressed, & I think you will be too. Definately check this one out!!!

 FANTASTIC MOVIE!Aug 08, 2011
By Jeffrey P. Falcon
This is one of the best horror/slasher films I have seen in a long time. Half of the new films that come out in this category haven't been so good lately. This one finally does everything right that a horror film needs. I purchased this film a week ago and am extremely happy with my purchase. Now, if only the American horror films could follow this path, then we wouldn't have any more terrible horror films like "Cabin Fever 2".

 A tasty helping of more of the sameMar 15, 2009
By R. R. Delisle
This is a well done movie, with talented young actors and great photography. It just suffers from plot monotony. A group of young people get stranded in an out of the way location, find an abandoned place to stay. They pair up to have sex and procede to get killed off one by one until one person is left who decides to get angry instead of scared, fights back and saves him or herself. Its just like a trip to your favorite fast food restaurant - not bad, just more of the same. Until you find a finger in your french fries . . . oh wait, that was another movie.

Not Very Memorable, But Still a Decent MovieMar 15, 2009
By J. A Hayes
Cold Prey really isn't my type of movie. I enjoy a good horror flick every now and then but the standard "slasher" movie just doesn't do it for me. If you enjoy this kind of thing then you may be in for a treat, because Cold Prey has some good things going for it. Ultimately it feels very much like countless others I have seen with the cliches and the predictable outcomes.
This movie was supposedly a hit in Europe and succeeds in paying homage to so many others classics before it. The basic premise is as follows: 5 friends on a snowboarding trip are forced to stay in an abandoned (or is it?) cabin for the night, but guess what...they're not alone. There is a killer on the loose who is looking to meticulously murder each one of them. Sound familiar? The characters are likeable but are stereotypical of any movie of this type. Yes it is scary, yes there is blood and the killer is pretty freaky but by the time the ending hits you may or may not have figured it out already. Another thing that may bother some people is that the spoken language here is Norwegian. There are subtitles but it felt like too much of a chore to read and also keep up with what is going on in the movie. The included English track is helpful if subtitles aren't you're thing but be warned that the dubbing is pretty awful here as well. Nothing matches up well but I guess that should be expected.
There are a few good things going for Cold Prey. I love the icy, mountain setting. It gives it a unique and creepy feeling of isolation and adds to the feeling of terror the audience feels for the characters. The movie is well-made, both acting-wise and effects-wise. Not bad at all coming from the low budget this film apparently had to work with. The acting by the cast is actually good when you compare it to the usual acting you can expect from horror movies these days.
If you love the typical "slasher" flick then definitely give this at least one viewing. Unfortunately, one viewing is all I am willing to give and I don't think this will go down in my mind as one of the greats. It's too predictable and the ending is disappointing though I will let you see to decide that for yourself. If you decide that you like the movie and if you are a fan of the genre in general then I recommend owning this quality dvd.

Excellent Cold-as-Ice Tribute to '80s SlashersMar 02, 2009
By Michael R Gates
Director Roar Uthaug's COLD PREY is is a truly terrifying horror film that hearkens back to 1980s-era slasher flicks. What makes the film so unique--at least for American audiences--is that it was shot in Norway by a Norwegian crew and features an all-Norwegian cast. But if the fresh talent and fresh faces aren't enough, the film offers a tightly plotted story that adds a new twist to the old slasher formula. It basically transplants FRIDAY THE 13TH from the abandoned summer camp at Crystal Lake to an abandoned ski lodge in the frozen, snow-packed mountains of northern Europe. Another fresh twist to the formula is that even the virginal kids get whacked, and the true identity of the killer, while not a total surprise when revealed at the end, makes him a more sympathetic character than genre icons Jason or Michael.
The acting in COLD PREY is outstanding--if you watch with the original Norwegian soundtrack, that is; the English dub is...well...a dub--and Norwegian beauty Ingrid Bolsø Berdal is especially effective in her tough-but-sympathetic portrayal of the film's obligatory final girl. Roar Uthaug's direction is also top-notch--he's definitely a Euro-horror director to keep your eye on--and the special FX are seamless and realistic yet eye-poppingly fun. As with the '80s slashers to which COLD PREY plays tribute, a lot of the really gruesome violence is off-screen (the camera cuts away just after contact), but that's part of the fun. The only real flaw in the film is that there isn't a single T or A shot--and the film's two beauties would be worth seeing sans clothing, even if only in a quick cutaway--which has been a must-have part of the genre since John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN (1978), but that's only a minor gripe.
The DVD edition of COLD PREY from Anchor Bay is well worth the price of admission. It features a beautiful digital transfer of the film in anamorphic widescreen at its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1, with soundtracks offering either the original Norwegian in DD 5.1 Surround Sound or an English dub in DD 2.0 Surround. Tons of bonus features include a behind-the-scenes featurette, a featurette on the special FX, interviews with the cast, and much more!
COLD PREY has lots of jumps and scares, and the story is several notches above a lot of slasher fare. If you're a fan of old 1980s slasher flicks and would like a break from the torture-porn that seems to have taken control of the horror screens these days, give this film a screening. You won't be sorry.
