Thanks to Eli Roth and Thanksgiving, nearly every holiday has a horror film now. Halloween is covered and Christmas has Black Christmas and killer Santa's galore. There are horror movies for New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, April Fool's Day, and the Fourth of July. All we're really missing now is a messed-up creature feature with a killer Easter bunny. Forget having one day. There's another horror movie out there, one so good that it became a franchise, which doesn't celebrate a holiday but an entire season. In 2006, the Norwegian slasher Cold Prey introduced us to a new villain called the Mountain Man. Imagine a giant Michael Myers in a ski mask and parka, and you're on the right track. Cold Prey is a slow burn that will warm you up, and it has some of the most beautiful cinematography you'll ever see in a stalk-and-slash film, even as blood turns the glorious white snow crimson red.
