Escalofrío 2

I absolutely loved the 1st one, classic slasher done so very well. This sequel was fantastic as well. It moved from one great place of atmosphere to another one. From the cold hotel to an even colder looking hospital, It had more of just about everything the 1st one did, but still without crossing the lines into "junk gore". It remained, like the first,. a remarkable classic slasher with all the right bells, whistles and jump scares. It's much harder to find = a lot more expensive to got your hands on than the 1st but well worth it in every way if you are looking for another quality slasher for your collection.

What kind of slasher lover am I....make me jump, creep me out, give me moody atmosphere and decent blood kills but I have zero interest in being psychologically traumatized (Torture and disturbing stuff) or making me want to vomit with disgust. (Needless gore and guts). If you like classic slashers you should love this well enough.

I was remarkably underwhelmed by Cold Prey, I'd been told it was a work of art but saw it as just another generic slasher flick.

For this reason I came into Cold Prey 2 thinking it would be more of the same but was pleasantly surprised.

Picking up from the closing moments of the first film we follow our "Final girl" Jannicke as she recovers in hospital but the nightmare is far from over.

With a new setting, great cast and competent delivery this is what I expected in the first place and was quite a joy to watch.

Don't get me wrong there is nothing revolutionary about Cold Prey 2 but it's some fine story telling and I'm now excited to see how the trilogy ends.

The Good:

Very well written

Solid cast Follows on perfectly from the first film

One great comedic moment

The Bad:

Ending is a tad rushed

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've had the Cold Prey movies built up to me for a while now. All my friends have told me that I need to see them since I like horror movies so much. I had put off watching them since I figured I would just be let down, but finally I decided to sit down and watch the first and second one. I thought the first film was fairly mediocre but I still enjoyed it. Then I popped "Cold Prey 2" in and I was speech less.

There are 3 things that every slasher movie needs to be enjoyable

1. Likable characters - You have to like them in order to be able to cheer them on.

2. A Scary Killer - Someone so intimidating and terrifying that just the sheer thought of them coming after you gives you goosebumps.

3. A Good Pace - This is what a lot of slasher movies get wrong and this was one of the main problems I had with the first film. You don't want to take too long to get the kills going.

"Cold Prey 2" succeeds in all 3 of these aspects very well. The Killer is terrifying, the characters are likable, and things get going almost right from the start. Plenty of gore for the gore hounds and plenty of kills.

If you were not a fan of the 1st film I still suggest you give this one a try. Its a great ride 9/10

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.
