Cold Prey 2

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.

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!

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 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
