The Frozen Ground (2013) Thriller Drama Mystery Crime History Biography Poster

The Frozen Ground Plot Synopsis:

Alaska Trooper Jack Holcombe believes Robert Hansen is a serial killer who abducts young girls, tortures and s**ually assaults them, then kills them. But Holcombe doesn't have enough evidence to get a search warrant for Hansen's premises. Holcombe knows that one victim, Cyndy Paulsen, somehow survived, so he decides to seek her help, but he finds that she's now a junkie with trust issues. Holcombe has to earn her trust; meanwhile, Hansen is still hunting and killing girls.


The Frozen Ground looks spectacular and a must see. John Cusack as serial killer Robert Hansen should take such roles to new limits. Everything is in speculation so far but the duo of Nicolas Cage and John Cusack cannot be denied as great. I looked online and saw that there will be a very grown up Vanessa Hudgens starring in The Frozen Ground. Make sure you see this new horror movie August 23, 2013.

Synopsis / Plot Summary:  An Alaska State Trooper partners with a young woman who escaped the clutches of serial killer Robert Hansen to bring the murderer to justice. Based on actual events.
