Cold Prey 2

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 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.

This is a pretty decent slasher trilogy in the making.

I saw the first "Cold Prey" and thought it was okay. It was kind of slow and the kills weren't that great but it was beautifully filmed, well- enough acted for a Swedish film, or maybe that's Norwegian, who knows, and it had an awesome twist ending with one of the best hardcore metal songs to the end credits I have ever heard. In many respects it was a lot like Halloween (1978).

"Cold Prey 2" is even better than the first. It keeps all the successful elements from the first movie (well shot, well acted, well-directed) but has more kills, more tension and less build-up which is good because really, I've seen it all before and unless your birthing some slasher narrative miracle of nature there really is no need to have protracted character development revolving around horny teens.

Actually I liked this one (#2) better because it takes place in a hospital, has fully mature adults who are way less happy and way less whiny than the annoying teens in the first movie and has way better kills and pacing.

By the way, Halloween 2 (1980) takes place in a hospital. Go figure.

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 watched the first Cold Prey movie back to back with this 2nd part Cold Prey. Although YOU don't have to. This second movie still makes very good sense without having to see the first movie, although I would recommend it as they are both good watches! I really love how the writer/director takes their the time for us to LIKE the characters. I CARED about them, and didn't want to see them hurt, unlike some of the horror movies where the characters are almost annoying and w kinda LIKE to see them killed off.It just makes for a more roller coaster of an emotional ride. Again, the subtitles were unusually easy to follow while watching the movie. The setting, this time around, is a hospital. Again reminiscent of the Halloween circa 1980's movies. And yet again, the acting is superb, the special effects (blood etc) were very well done without going overboard into shock territory. The pacing even better in this second movie. Very rare do we see the second installment even better then the first, but I agree with most other viewers who liked this one even better! Norway has really come thru for us fans who enjoy this type of horror. Excellently done and highly recommended!
