Fritt vilt II

Plot synopsis:
Jannicke (Berdal), the only survivor from the massacre depicted in the previous movie, is picked up in Jotunheimen and brought to a hospital in Otta. At the hospital, she receives good care, but seems distant from her caretakers.
While she stays in the hospital, she meets a boy named Daniel and the two have a pleasant conversation. Meanwhile, in the rest of the hospital police officers Einar and Kim discuss Jannicke's situation and investigate her last known location at the hotel where they discover several bodies nearby including the mountain man's and  has it sent back to the hospital.
At the hospital, officer Sverre flirts with the local nurse Audhild while nurse Camilla tries to uncover Jannicke's story. It is also revealed that Jannicke has been suffering nightmares from her previous encounter with the mountain man and even goes as far as attacking the mountain man's body in the morgue, much to the surprise of her caretakers.
They decide to drug her to keep her calm after her emotional outburst, much to the protest of nurse Camilla. During this time, the police investigation continues as they begin to discover more bodies.
However, at the hospital the mountain man shows sign of life and is frantically resuscitated, much to the horror of Jannicke who violently attempts to stop them but is tranquillized in the process. The doctors manage to successfully bring the mountain man back to life and leave him under watch by Sverre. Eventually the mountain man wakes up, murders a distracted Sverre, and breaks free.
He then proceeds to go in a killing spree across the hospital while a recently awoken Jannicke escapes the hospital in the aftermath with Daniel and Camilla while locking the mountain man in the basement.
They proceed to rendezvous with officers Kim, Ole, Einar and Johan outside. After being told to stay outside by Einar, who has been investigating the mountain man's background, Jannicke watches nervously as he enters the hospital with Ole and Kim accompanying while Daniel is taken away by his mother.
Inside, the officers fail to find the mountain man and decide to pull back from the hospital but are side tracked by Johan's radio message revealing the location of Sverre's body.
After finding the body, the officers are attacked and all but Ole are killed in the ambush. After watching gunshots within the hospital, Jannicke offers to enter the hospital with officer Johan. However, this plan is interrupted when the mountain man attacks, wounding her and killing officer Johan as well as frightening Camilla.
The remaining two are then saved by a severely wounded Ole who dies of his wounds distracting the mountain man allowing the survivors to escape. Enraged, Jannicke travels to the hotel where the first movie occurred and falls asleep waiting for the mountain man.
The mountain man eventually appears and seems to have the upper hand over Jannicke but is defeated when Camilla arrives. Not satisfied with the mountain man being stabbed through the chest by his own pickaxe, Jannicke ensures the mountain man's death with a shotgun blast to the head.

Review:
Then I popped "Cold Prey 2" in and I was speech less.There are 3 things that every slasher movie needs to be enjoyable1.
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.
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.
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!
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.
"Cold Prey II" successfully follows up its original with a good level of suspense and legitimate jump scares.
"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.
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.
"Fritt vilt II" is the sequel of "Fritt vilt" and in this one we find Jannicke who wakes up in the hospital and all of her friends are dead and she is alone or she thinks that she is.
One and last thing I have to say, and that is that her nightmare did not even start.I liked this movie and I believe that is a really good sequel for a horror movie and I also believe that the interpretation of Ingrid Bolsø Berdal as Jannicke for one more time was really nice.
I also liked the interpretation of Marthe Snorresdotter Rovik who plays as nurse of this hospital and helps Jannicke.Finally I have to say that I did not expect that "Fritt vilt II" to be such a nice horror movie and I am glad that it was..
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.
Check Out. 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.
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.
It takes place right after the events of the first film as our heroine from the first is taken to a nearby hospital.
In essence Cold Prey 2 is a fusion of Halloween 2 and Friday the 13th Part 4: The final Chapter but again it has its own stamp and it stands alone and proud in the slasher genre.
Throw in some great kills and you have one of the better horror sequels in some time.
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).
At the end of the movie, you'll be left with nothing but disappointment, but hey, wasn't that also quite predictable of a slasher movie sequel from Norway?.
Fritt Vilt should definitely be remembered as Norway's lead Slasher (though I haven't had any chance to see any other Norwegian Horror films).
Instead of writing this review as I usually like to, separating the good from the bad, I've decided this time to write my thoughts in the chronological order they've occurred.First of all - Cold Prey 2 picked up pretty much exactly where Cold Prey ended, and was an actual sequel, rather than a film that only used the same location or same slasher.
It wasn't as obvious as Mark Hamil's total makeover between The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi, but it was still noticeable and slightly hurt suspension of disbelief.Second - Slasher-wise, this sequel unfortunately pretty much devastated all the greatness of the first film.
Most importantly - be persistent, if the first film presented the slasher as a man, don't make him a superhero in the 2nd.Third - the ending, while having no twists and no exceptionally wise turn of events, was still very original and well done!
Excellent acting by Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (despite her hair) and a great way to finish the story while leaving some potential loose ends for the third film.Coming to think of it, now that I re-read the aforementioned notes, I think I liked this film even more than the first one!
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.
Previously she had nightmares and visions and even visited the bodies of her friends in the morgue.Now with the killer on the lose, off course he turns the light off and starts taking people out.
Now he believes Jannicke and makes it to the hospital as the killer is about to run out of people to kill.
Cold Prey 2 is a competent slasher that still could have been improved some more..
The sequel to the brilliance that was Cold Prey does it again with this excellent follow up.The Plot = This picks up exactly where the last one left off, where Jannicke is picked up from the side of the road dazed confused and full of blood, is taken to the local hospital which in fact is closing down, where only a few members of staff are working there and a handful of patients, but when the police find the bodies of her friends and killer and are brought back to the hospital, the killer comes back alive and starts pick-axing his way through the hospital.Wow very rarely we get a sequel that matches the original but this one actually does and again hits all the right notes, where in the first one was mostly character development in this one we get a bigger body count and more action, which again I always love.
The killer yet again was genuinely creepy, big, brutal and is even more nastier, like the scene with the nurse and the fire extinguisher (really brutal).Again like the first one, we get a build up of the main characters and then kicks into gear gives nearly an hour's worth of sweet action, as the survivors attempt to avoid the mountain man and exit the hospital in time for more police to arrive.
That's essentially the price you have to pay when you want a feature with lots of action elements, which in my opinion make for a more entertaining watch (depending on the story).A factor I liked about this movie was that we get more of a back story on the killer this time, which really kept me interested and I even wanted to find out more and more, and the cast were again decent, I liked the fact that they were normal looking people and not fashion models The killer also makes for an interesting hunter, laying down a couple traps for our victims to find themselves caught in, proving that he's also fairly intelligent.
The final scene was just pure brilliance and doesn't suck like a lot of movies I've seen.The cast, well Ingrid Bolso Berdal (Jannicke) does it again, I was glad that she survived the first time round and this time she's just as great becoming more of a action babe this time round without going over the top which I liked and Marthe Snorresdotter Rovick (Camilla) was an interesting addition to the cast as the Doctor, she made a very sympathetic character and not just another crying and sobbing supporting player she really comes into her own especially towards the end.All in all while the first one delivered mood and atmosphere, this one delivers old school action slasher with an intimidating and potentially iconic killer and another must see.
I didn't have high expectations for a sequel that brings back to life a killer that had been hit by pickax, took a fall of at least 30 feet onto frozen ice, and spent several hours lying at -20.Despite of this I found Fritt Vilt 2 to be an enjoyable sequel even if somewhat a predictable one.
The camera work and sound effects are very and I found the acting even better than in the first movie with Ingrid Bolsø Berdal once again giving an excellent performance as Jannicke, the only survivor of Fritt Vilt 1.
I can't really express an opinion on the dialogs as I watched this film in Norwegian and only understood most of it because I speak some Swedish.Spoilers begin _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Why did I not find it as good as the first movie then?
First of all what made Fritt Vilt I really good was the setting: the characters were stuck in an abandoned hotel in the middle of nowhere surrounded by high snow which made any attempt to escape very difficult.
In the sequel they are in a hospital and a few of the characters could have run out of it earlier than they actually did.
3) When the homicidal maniac - who has killed all your friends, 1 doctor, 1 nurse, and 5 policemen - manages to disappear you decide to go after him but you obviously forget about the Glock you were holding in the hand and only bring the shotgun and a knife!
5) If you are nurse when your favorite patient decides to hunt down the homicidal maniac who just killed your boyfriend, you first think about it for a couple of hours, then make up your mind and run home to grab your hunting rifle but make sure not to call anybody for help!The final scene is neat though: how to put it?
I liked the first part better but this movie is also worth watching.I loved how it picks up exactly where the last one left off.
It's entertaining and gripping from beginning to end.What I liked a lot in the movie is that the audience gets some information about the killer, we see interesting parts of his back story.7/10.
Superiorly Supreme Norwegian Slasher Art. 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.
"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.
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.
Let it be clear that these Norwegians definitely know how to generate the right mood for an atmospheric and nightmarishly intense horror film.
When is the last time a slasher actually scared you?
She's taken to the local hospital where she reveals the story of the massacre of her friends at the ski lodge by the masked psychopath Geir (Robert Follin, who replaced the first film's Rune Melby).
This spells bad news for everyone as Geir breaks free and goes on yet another vicious murder spree through the hospital.Taking an obvious page from the book of the 'Halloween' franchise, rookie filmmaker Mats Stenberg, taking over for the first film's director Roar Uthaug, moves the 'Fritt Vilt' story out of the lodge and into the hospital, very much like Laurie Strode's experience in 'Halloween II.' It seemed, at first, that this sequel would lose the feel of the first film due to the change in location, but it ended up not losing a beat at all.
However, the film is not solely about the slasher-style scares & kills.
In fact, 'Fritt Vilt II' has some of the best suspense and build-up I've seen in this subgenre for a long time.
Although very few of the characters had to pull off overly complex characters, Yannicke definitely had some substance to work with and performed very well as one of the most badass "final girls" that's come to the slasher subgenre in a while.Overall, 'Fritt Vilt II' is a fantastic entry into the genre and is a contender as one of the best slashers of the decade, being one of the few films that may all-around surpass its predecessor.Final Verdict: 8.5/10 -AP3-.
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 rushedThings I Learnt From This Movie: Somewhere between the first movie and this Jannicke turned into Perry from Kevin & Perry.
the killer fainted in front of the hospital, If he was killed I would give 9 points for the movie.
Annicke (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal) survives Cold Prey to return to the sequel as does our killer (Robert Follin).
Along with her friends, is the killer, a Jason kind of guy who just won't die.If you like the Friday the 13th type of slasher and don't mind the subtitles, it is a fairly decent film.
