Five teenage snowboarders are forced to spend the night in a mysteriously abandoned ski lodge. Except somebody - or something - already lives there. It is huge, savage and unstoppable∧ now it's pissed off. But if you think this is going to be the usual 'trapped teens stalked by a maniac' movie, you're dead wrong. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (2)
Probably the first slasher where I sympathised with all the characters, and that is appreciated! There’s also the attractive Norwegian setting and the excellent atmosphere. But despite those good things, the film is awfully predictable and the ending should have been different to fully satisfy me. Instead, it’s “only” a little over 70%.

You can't come up with anything new, so at least deliver it Norwegian frozen and run it through a rancid filter, which is quite addictive after a moment of resistance. In all seriousness, Uthaug manages to maintain a restrained decorum and a properly stiff atmosphere without enormous hysteria or unnecessary chatter. That's kind of how I like my slashers.
