Cold Prey 2 Resurrection - Kälter als der Tod

There's just something about the country of Norway that lends itself to being the perfect location for a horror film. Maybe it's the image most people have of it being desolate, cold, dark, and isolated. It might also have something to do with the fact that 90 percent of the music we hear coming out of the country is death or black metal. "Cold Prey II" definitely doesn't help give movie audiences an alternate view of what to expect if you plan a ski trip to that part of the world.

After surviving a horrific killing spree at an abandoned ski lodge, a college girl named Jannicke (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal) is taken to a remote hospital for treatment. She tells her story to the local police who decide to investigate her claims. They return hours later with the bodies of her four friends and the mountain man responsible for the massacre. Unfortunately, the monstrous murderer isn't dead and begins slaughtering the patients, nurses, and doctors in his mission to finish what he started with Jannicke.

"Cold Prey II" is the perfect example of a modern slasher film done right. Although it brings nothing new to the table, it manages to keep up a level of suspense and delivers some legitimate jump scares at the same time.

I couldn't shake the feeling that director Mats Stenberg and writer Thomas Moldestad were doing their own version of "Halloween II" and "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" for a Norwegian audience. Like those classic 1980s films, much of the action takes place in a hospital. The vision of the giant killer in "Cold Prey II" standing at the end of a corridor with the lights blinking reminded me of the same type of scenes in the sequels to John Carpenter and Sean S. Cunningham's iconic originals.

"Cold Prey II" is a welcome addition to the slasher genre. It's not doing anything new, but continues passing the torch to a new generation of horror fans and filmmakers. It will give viewers a sense of hope we don't get much anymore when it comes to these types of movies.

I watched this movie back to back with its first one.

I found this one was a better thriller than the first.

But this screenplay also follows the famous movies like "visiting hours" It was a solid start from part 1. Not like other movies here you meet the killer with a new team, this starts from what it ended in the first part.

The lead heroine was very convincing in her role since she comes out well in this part.

I should say the accompanying doctor girl had a charming cute comedy stuff face but she tried well.

On the whole it was convincingly presented except some loop holes like they fail to mention about the corpses they found later on in the crevasse.

I would rate it 7 on 10. cos this movie has got some thrills ...

Waiting to see what would they do in the third part.........

I jumped in the cinema chair many times. This movie is as good as the first, and that don't happened too often with movies that follow ups. In this movie the horror takes place in a hospital that is shutting down. The "snowman" that we thought was killed in first movie wakes up at the hospital and horror once more brakes out. I think the actors does a very good job, and you get close to the characters just like in the first movie. In this movie we get too know a bit about the "snowman", and if it comes a third movie, maybe we get too learn even more. Who that will survive in this movie you just have too go and see for your self.

An sequel that is just as good and kick ass as the original! I thought it was more violent and action packed this time around but not overly done because just like in the original it focused on suspense and scares and character development more than gore and torture which is very rare in slashers these days. I thought the acting was just as strong or even better than in the original with our strong, heroine female lead who I think is very sexy, Hollywood should recruit her! There is not one dull moment in this film and is more fast paced than the original but it also has a build up too and is twice as entertaining and thrilling but the things that kept me from giving it a full 5 star rating is that it kind of lost its slasher touch making it more like an action/thriller with an body count and was less scary. The last half was fantastic though and kept me on the edge of my seat and had me rooting for the lead to survive and the film leaves it open for a Cold Prey 3 and I can't wait! Overall this is the best slasher series I've seen since maybe Scream 1 and 2 because to me it's near perfection when it comes to slasher flicks and I highly recommend it for fans of the genre. More of a 4.5 out of 5 stars. SEE IT ASAP!!! AS WELL AS THE FIRST ONE IF YOU HAVEN'T YET!

I first saw this in 2010 on a dvd which I own.

Revisited it recently.

This film picks up where the first left off, so it's a direct continuation and inspite of this, this second part takes ample time to start the action cos we have new characters but the the director did a fine job in character development as well as creating solid suspense n tension. In this part we come to know more terrifying past of the killer.

The premise in this one changes from the deserted snowy landscape to a Norwegian hospital that is on the verge of being closed down and is mostly isolated n far off from main city.

I liked this one more than its predecessor cos it has more kills, some brutal ones, lots of suspense n tension n one of my fav horror movie locations.

Halloween n Visiting Hours may come to viewers' mind while viewing this.
