User Reviews

A murderer is loose and the Ystads police works very hard to catch the guy before someone else gets killed...

In the beginning when I first saw "Innan frosten" I was very against these movies. Thought they would be to freaky for me because I get easily scared watching horror movies. But I got surprised and found myself like these movies. I think this movie was the most exciting movie of the ones that had been maid. You're so in the movie and you get so frustrated on the police because they don't know who the murderer is but you do. But in the beginning you don't have a clue about what has happened and what the connection are until they reveal it in the movie. It's psychological and you think the murderer is such a freak. You don't like him and that the police doesn't get a clue either. He is totally playing with their minds and that makes this movie so good and different comparing to the others. My legs couldn't stop shaking in the cinema. You follow the movie with excitement and you just want to catch the murderer. If you have to see one of the Wallander movies, watch this.
