Lille, France — The 9th Series Mania hit the home straits Friday with a clutch of favorites emerging for Series Mania’s prize announcements tomorrow, among them a comedy, “On the Spectrum.” Cutting-edge international drama used to be deadly serious: Think Nordic Noir. But innovation has now spread to comedy. As Series Mania’s industry event, its three-day Forum, winds down, and Air France industrial action winds people up, here are 10 highlights and trends of a first Lille-located Series Mania, unquestioned as one of Europe’s premier drama series events.
1.Netflix Goes Native
No appearance at the Lille Transatlantic Dialogues was more awaited than Reed Hastings. His appearance on the same platform as Andrus Ansip, European Commission, vice president for the Digital Single Market, sparked speculation of a detente between the U.S. streaming giant and the E.U., whose parliament approved quotas for Ott platforms in Europe. And so it proved.

Director: Mikkel Braenne Sandemose.
Writers: Lars Gudmestad and Peder Fuglerud.
The Cold Prey series is set in the slasher genre and each of these films has been produced in the cold climes of Norway. The first film was completed in 2006 and the second in 2008. Each film follows the murder spree of a mute Geir Olav Brath to an eventual bloody conclusion. A different director has highlighted each film, with Mats Stenberg showing the best of the series with Cold Prey 2. Unfortunately, this latest film, a prequel, is not up to the task of thrilling audiences. Full of been-here-done-that, Cold Prey 3 offers very little back story on killer Brath and instead, the film serves up repetitive trope after trope.
The plot begins with a young boy tortured, by an isolated couple in a remote mountain resort. The opportunity to delve into Brath's psyche is overlooked in favour of bringing still more...

Fritt Vilt 3 Alt' PosterOkay, this is ridiculous; the excellent Fritt Vilt serial killer series is in to its second sequel and yet this latest film has not been picked up for Us distribution. A bold distributor like Maverick Entertainment, First Look Studios, or Camelot Entertainment Group need to take as much notice of this brutal series, just as fans have. In the meantime, more promotional material is materializing on this original, exceptional and gripping horror series.
The third trailer is available for Fritt Vilt 3 (Cold Prey 3) here, along with the fourth alternate poster. Several additional characters are shown in both pieces and while the clip is in Norwegian, much of the story can be seen in the acting and interacting. Enjoy the latest on Fritt Vilt 3, until picked up and brought to North America where it belongs!
A short synopsis for the film here:

It might be small, but hey don't good things come in small packages? Well, that's all down to personal preference but for those easily impressed the new teaser poster for Norwegian slasher prequel 'Cold Prey 3' ('Fritt Vilt 3') has arrived. And it's teeny weenie.

Mikkel Braenne Sandemose is helming the prequel from a script by Peder Fuglerud and Lars Gudmestad. Here in the UK of course both 'Cold Prey' and 'Cold Prey 2' have been available here on DVD for some time now but unfortunately our stateside-based audience has still yet to be offered the first sequel. 'Cold Prey 3' will open across Norway on 15 October...
