Reasons why this movie sucks

Loads... enough for me to be ashamed of being a Norwegian.

Anyway, some peaks:

* Crappy opening
* Crappy acting
* They're supposed to be kids, or even youth. Still, a couple of the look like they're in their 30s
* Dude playing *beep* Nintendo DS on the lakeshore when the movie is supposed to be set in the 80s
* Stupid second pissing sequence, not even 15 minutes in the movie
* Stupid voicing of the actors
* The beer bottles they used have a contemporary design, not the one they used 30 years ago
* I have to admit the trap 28 minutes into the film was sort of unexpected, but I still imagined Admiral Ackbar shouting "It's a traaaaap".
* Stupid cutting of the scene when the killer drags Knut out of the pit
* Standard issue H&K G3 for the Norwegian Home Defence does not come equipped with a sniper's binoculars
* The movie itself goes a long way without dialogue, and as soon as the annoying kids died, I felt a relief
* I loved the part where Hedda pulls the arrow from out of Anders' shoulder. Too bad she didn't do it slower
* The policeman looking into the unsolved cases files has to read about the killer and his parents in the newspapers... Not their own reports
* The evil hotel part, clearly borrowed off Shining. The seemingly invulnerable killer has traits and wardrobe that reflect Michael Myers. Add incompetent policemen - the ending sequence is a prime example of this - and you get a movie worth spending 17 million NOKs making...

Jeeeeesus *beep* Christ!

I don´t hate the movie either but I agree with most of your statements. Anyway, I have to say that the guy wasn´t playing with a Nintendo DS, it was a handheld game named "Oil Panic". I had the same when I was a kid and recognized the sounds. Those machines were quite popular where I grew up in the 80´s, they even had a Donkey Kong version of the game.

I actually liked it, it has its flaws but in the end it was pretty descent.I loved the cinematography,the direction was pretty good also.Maybe some scenes could have been executed better.And it was intentional imo that the characters were presented not that likeable,cause noone was ment to survive.The sympathetic blonde guy dies first for instance.Who would have thought Hedda would have made it to the end when the movie started and not Siri?All in all, it is an ok movie to watch,i enjoyed it way better than the sequel in the hospital.

Yeah, this movie really sucked! There is not one decent Norwegian horror movie made yet except for de dødes tjern and rovdyr.

American here. In comparison to current American horror, it is still above average. In comparison to the other two Fritt Vilt films, it is terrible. Not completely unwatchable such as trash like Return to Sleepaway Camp, but I would have probably been ready to shoot an arrow in my own foot if I saw this at the cinema.

Divorce it from Cold Preys 1&2 and it's an enjoyable slasher flick. Some good tense moments, a nice high octane chase scene through the trees and, as with its predecessors, really polished photography.

On the downside, it was a bit too long and too derivative of Wrong Turn and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, whereas the first Cold Prey, while not exactly original, seemed a lot more fresh and the second one capitalised on themes that went askew in Halloween II.

I'd give it about 6.5 out of 10.

im gonna disagree with OP here and say that in comparison to the many sh#t American horror films in the recent decade that this film was far above average..was it as good as Cold Prey 1&2..no..but what trilogy doesnt have a film that doesnt measure up to the even the first film for that matters..
as a stand alone film it was not bad at all..the cinematography was also outstanding..i would match the Cold Prey franchise up against the best of them..aside from the texas chainsaw massacre reboot and prequel i dont recall any other horror franchise of the last 15 years that measures up to this Norwegian trilogy..

So the movie made you "ashamed" of being Norwegian based on a bunch of petulant little "mistakes" you noticed? Were you pausing at every frame trying to find some lame technical error? You're dumb.

Here I thought you were going to make a comment with some substance, like you know... about the characters, the plot, the development, the tension (or lack thereof). Instead, you point out the bottles have the labels wrong.

Intelligent viewers don't care, Sherlock. They realize this is not a Sherlock Holmes case to be "solved." You don't get a god damned cookie for outsmarting a film, you just show how unintelligent you are for even competing with it. It's a MOVIE.

If you're going to slag it, do so on the terms of it being a FILM. Not what labels they used on the bottles.

What a lamer. At least you were considerate enough to use the spoiler tag.

By the way, I'm very curious why you, as a Norwegian, would find these characters obnoxious. They seemed perfectly normal to me, I didn't dislike any of them, even if I didn't particularly care for them either. (I made another thread about this.) At least you don't have to have every horror film ruined by Hollywood Jew propaganda, with white whores dating some African primitive while the token wigger joker tries to provide "comic relief," or the Asian girl who talks like a California valley slut, all thanks to Hollyjews' racial quotas. Be happy you can still see your own people in your own movies. I can't tell you what a relief it was to see a film without the token "homie."

I liked Part I quite a bit and liked Part II even more but I felt that this one just didn't work as a prequel. It seemed unfocused and didn't really flesh out much the backstory, choosing instead to focus most of the time on the group of teenagers who as is established by the first film, are but one of the many groups that had been killed.
