[movie - review] Cold Prey II (2008)

I saw recently the first one and found it really good so I was really after this one.
The big question in my mind was "which road the director will follow?".
To clarify, the first one ended in a way that was clearly an opener for a sequel, but what's left open was how the hell this would happen?
It would follow the path of Jason, creating an immortal killer? Or trying to create something more realistic?

I'm not here to say which way it has been followed here, it's enough to say that they have chosen correctly (for my tastes) and this second episode (at the moment it's a trilogy, still missing to see the third one) kept the great things that made me love the first one.

This time Jotunheimen is just a cumbersome presence and the Hotel has been replaced by an hospital... but the creepy feeling and the anguish is still high, thanks to the storyline and the great work made by building up atmosphere and sense of anticipation.

The plot isn't absolutely something so original but it's solid and even if you will surely guess so many things it won't disappoint you how the story unfolds itself.

The director of this sequel is Mats Stenberg (this is his first work) while the main actress is still Ingrid Bolsø Berdal and her performance is greater than before.
