Part of

Cold Prey Collection

A group of friends head out on a snowboarding trip, but after one of them breaks a leg in a bad fall, they’re forced to seek shelter in an abandoned mountain hotel. With no phone signal and no one around, they settle in for the night... only to discover they might not be alone after all. What starts as a survival trip quickly turns into a nightmare, as they become the target of Norway’s most brutal serial killer.
