I really wasn't fond of the first Cold Prey movie (the ending was the final nail in the coffin of a movie that had very little to offer for me). I'm assuming you have seen the first one and know how it ended. If not, it does make sense watching it (especially if you are more of a slasher movie fan), because this does continue where the other one left off at the end.This is more straightforward and does not try to be "cute" (again talking about the ending of the other movie, but also about "character" moments and decisions that you'll only see in a movie like this one). Which makes it watchable (again I can only talk for myself here) and kinda fun most of the time.

Logically unfolding sequel to the supremely atmospheric and haunting Norwegian horror hit "Cold Prey", released two years prior. Sole survivor Jannicke gets picked up by the side of a snowy road and taken to a nearby hospital that is as good as empty due to being closed very soon. She's in shock and nobody believes her grotesque story about the pick-axe wielding maniac that butchered her friends. They're forced to sing a different tune when the five cadavers are recovered from the ravine and brought back to the hospital morgue. The police also discovers a few dozen of other frozen corpses, including that of the killer. He really must be Jason Voorhees' distant Scandinavian relative, as he miraculously resurrects from his body bag. The medics successfully attempt to bring him back, naturally much against the will of a hysterical Jannicke, and she's obviously right to protest as he promptly continues his relentless killing spree. Meanwhile, the local police commissioner digs up the 30-year-old missing person file and discovers a handful of interesting personality details about our deranged killer. "Cold Prey II" is a more than worthwhile successor of the original, this time with a sinister abandoned hospital setting instead of an abandoned skiing resort setting. Also like in the original, the characters are identifiable and amiable individuals and you certainly don't wish for them to die in such barbaric and excruciatingly painful ways. Like the cute blond nurse who's being smashed to death with a fire extinguisher, for example. Ouch! The sequel is actually even slightly more suspenseful than the first film, because there's a more intense aura of mystery hanging around the killer's persona. The first half hour is particularly scary, prior to his resurrection, because you can't really guess which direction the writers have chosen for this film. There are nicely eerie decors and set pieces, great use of ominous music and always the exact right dose of lighting. Let it be clear that these Norwegians definitely know how to generate the right mood for an atmospheric and nightmarishly intense horror film. "Cold Prey II" also benefices from terrific acting performances, including the one from the little kid. The last half hour follows a very exciting cat-and-mouse game between the killer, hiding somewhere in the hospital, the two female survivors and a bunch of policemen. These sequences are authentically scary. When is the last time a slasher actually scared you? The finale is brilliant and Jannicke unfolds herself as one of the most prolific and heroic female horror protagonists of the last decade. There's another entry on the way, apparently a prequel set in the 1980's. I, for one, cannot wait!

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.........

Jannicke (Ingrid Bolse Berdal) is found wandering shocked in the snow in Stehotinn by Ole (Kim Wifladt) that brings her to the Otta Sjukehus Hospital where his girlfriend Dr. Camilla (Marthe Snorresdotter Rovik) works. Jannicke tells the location of the breach where the bodies of her friends Eirik, Mikail and Ingunn and the psychopath killer are to the skeptical police officers. When they investigate the location, they find the corpses and bring them to the morgue of the same hospital. Dr. Herman (Fridtjov Såheim) revives the psychopath while the Chief of Police Einar (Per Schaaning) investigates many missing persons in the spot. Sooner Herman and Einar disclose how dangerous the killer is while Jannicke and Camilla fight to survive. "Fritt Vilt" is an engaging thriller that has a predictable story but entertains. This sequel uses many clichés and is inferior, and I dare to say that it is annoying in many moments. Camilla is probably the most unreasonable character, with attitudes that irritates, like for example, when she prefers to seek out Herman instead of leaving the building to bring help. In a certain moment, Jannicke has the killer fainted on the snow and is incapable of shooting his head. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Presos no Gelo II" ("Trapped in the Ice II")
