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. 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 end
All in all, I can recommend watching this horror movie: for its genre is definitely well done!
