Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

View More"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.
View MoreThe 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. The death's are pretty bloody, but sadly there's not a lot of on-screen gore. Although there are a couple somewhat creepy scenes, a lot of the great mood and atmosphere that the first had is lost in this one. 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 can't wait for part 3.
View MoreAn 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!
View MoreI 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. Besides, the script has a few flaws that impact the realism of the storyline: 1) If you are a policeman when your foot gets caught in a trap and you are being dragged into a dark room, amazingly faster than the 2 other policemen only a few feet away can run, you'll surprisingly think of using your MP5 to try keep yourself out of the dark room instead of shooting! 2) If you are a policeman and are left in the car while 3 others enter a dark hospital with a homicidal maniac inside,you'll wait till everybody else is probably dead to load your gun and get out of the car! 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! 4)When you are waiting for the homicidal maniac after signing the guest book you obviously fall asleep! 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? Revenge is a dish best served "in the cold"! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Spoilers endAll in all, I can recommend watching this horror movie: for its genre is definitely well done!
