Plot

{{More plot|date=October 2014}}

A group of young friends take a trip into Jotunheimen National Park. They plan on hiking into the area where an abandoned hotel sits in the mountains; it was the site of several disappearances, including a young boy who vanished into thin air. After opting to camp in the woods instead of staying at the old hotel, the friends soon discover there is a hulking killer amongst the woods, and he may not be alone. Flashbacks show the killer's childhood and youth in the 1970s.[http://ung1881.biip.no/2750752 «Fritt Vilt 3» tilbake til starten] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100511000319/http://ung1881.biip.no/2750752 |date=11 May 2010 }}
