It's actually a good movie.. you get the whole story how it all started. Too bad they are not making more of these movies.
A lot of people hated this one which I do not understand because it had it all. For those who haven't seen these movies you will love them. Don't trust the negative reviews if you love horror movies you will love these too

After all the hype I found the first Cold Prey movie very underwhelming, it felt like just another slasher and really didn't have much about itself to set it apart from the others.The sequel followed on perfectly and actually impressed me, suddenly I found myself on the Cold Prey bandwagon.Then the third, a prequel and essentially origin story for our antagonist and it goes back to it's roots as a generic slasher flick but with even less personality than the first film.Set in the 1980's around (You guessed it) a group of 20 somethings who go camping and run into our bad guy, get picked off one by one and you know the rest.Sadly it's all done poorly, it doesn't feel like it's even connected to the established Cold Prey universe and really feels more like a cash grab than an addition to the series.The Good: Very dark endingThe Bad: Poorly made Rather dull No originality Brings nothing to the Cold Prey franchise Things I Learnt From This Movie:Even Norwegians will milk a franchise beyond its means All good protagonists hide and watch while they're friends get butchered

When I set out to watch the final film of the Fritt Vilt trilogy, I had no idea it was going to be a prequel, and by that redeem itself from the total failure I had expected. After the first film presented the Mountain Man as a surprisingly human slasher (not in character and bahaviour of course, but in his level of strength and fortitude), the second one made him into too much of a Jason Voorhees kind of creature, beginning with the fact that he had survived the ending of the first film.Fritt Vilt 3 proved to be quite a pleasant surprise in a few aspects. Being a prequel, it had already been known that Mountain Man was going to win, so that had been supposed to be left was a little guess work as to how. First of all - the film really didn't follow the "Hollywood" rules of Slasher-Horror. Personally I was wrong with all guesses that mattered - who was going to die first (the characters weren't exactly Hollywood stereotypes of Slashers either so that made it a little hard to guess), who was going to be the last survivor and how would the story end. The ending, while remaining true to the previous two titles and not having any twists or shocks, really wasn't what I had expected, and was a pleasant surprise.All in all, the film gave us everything expected of a prequel, answered all the relevant questions about the Mountain Man that had been left unanswered by the first two titles (with the exception of the story behind Mountain Man's weapon of choice in the first two). and was just as good as the first (no Ingrid Bolsø Berdal though, unfortunately). The second was still my favorite, and I'm glad I got to see this Norwegian Horror trilogy.

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
