This slick and effective Swedish Netflix thriller is very contained and delivers the goods. A young Swedish city-living couple with a baby on the way take off for a hiking weekend in the snowy North, but a small altercation with a couple of locals finds them hunted and alone in the icy wilderness in a desperate fight to survive. More than just a standard survival movie, the film takes in other themes such as racial tensions and grief to purposeful effect, and the story certainly takes some unexpected turns. It also features one unbearable scene that is up there with the kettle scene in Mother's Day! Whilst not a gamechanger, performances are solid, the set pieces are handled well and the momentum keeps interest right to the end.
