5 Horror Movies Set in Harsh Wintery-Snowy Conditions

Vampire movies really don't get much better than Let The Right One In. The story of Oskar, a bullied and lonely kid who befriends, Eli, a mysterious young girl who has just moved in next door to his apartment.

Such a great film from Sweden. Not a lot of people know, but there is also a sequel(a short novel) called Let The Old Dreams Die which picks up right after Let The Right One In ended.

Chloe Grace Mortez starred as Eli in the American remake, Let Me In. All though not a patch on the original, it was still an excellent regurgitation.

Frostbitten is another vampire movie from Sweden. Released in 2005/2006 it was a film that seemed to have slipped through the cracks for a lot of people.

With a similar storyline to Josh Hartnett vamp movie 30 Days Of Night, although released before. Frostbitten takes place when daylight disappears and leaves a small Swedish town cloaked in darkness for a whole month.

This vampiric infestation is caused by a virus. It is taken by a group of teens who mistake the virus for some sort of new part drug. It is also a clever black comedy full of dark humour. Although not a full-on horror, it still has it some great moments of tension and gruesomeness.

Slashing Through The Snow...

This Norwegian trilogy is one of my favourites slashers of all time and they are all pretty solid. Nothing new in regards to any sort of plot; a group of twenty-somethings travel to a remote spot in the Norwegian wilderness. Snowed-in and trapped with nowhere to go, the group start to get picked off one-by-one by a masked killer.

The trilogy (if I can remember correctly) is a constant continuation. Each film picks up right where the other one ends.

I am beginning to see a pattern here, aren't you?. So far, all of the movies have been from Scandinavia. This ain't on purpose, they just got an abundance of quality wintery-horror.

Dead Snow follows a group of friends who go on vacation to a cabin in the Norwegian mountains. They come under attack by a group of nasty Nazi zombies.

Lot's of laughs and a film made for horror fans. It also spawned a sequel, Dead Snow 2. It was a worthy sequel but it tried to enter a bigger territory with more budget. Sometimes less is more, ya know?

The most shocking thing about the Dyatlov Pass Incident is the true story that it is based on.

The movie did a really good job in creating a fictional story around the actual events. If you weren't familiar with the strange happenings at the Dyatlov Pass then you would accept the reasoning behind the horror in the movie. But...if you know of the event then the truth is way weirder than the what's portrayed in the movie.

Here it is from Wiki. Crazy stuff!
