The consensus was that, even though the sequel did not quite live up to the original, it was still enjoyable and not disappointing. All of the three major national newspapers gave it four out of six points. Norwegian reviewers were remarkably unanimous in their assessment of the film. While the outdoor scenes were filmed in the wild scenery of Jotunheimen and the village Otta, the scenes in the hospital were shot in Åslund hospital in Ås. There were also lighter moment, with team members hiding in various rooms of the hotel where they were staying, doing their best to scare the others by jumping out wearing masks. The shooting was eventful, with Berdal at one point suffering from food poisoning having to perform scenes in between throwing up. Mats Stenberg took over as director after Roar Uthaug, who had directed the first movie. Norsk Filmfond gave financial support to the project 4 February 2008, and the new cast was announced 20 February. Though she enjoyed the role, Berdal insisted that this would be the last instalment. For this reason the expectations on the sequel were high, and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (whose character was the only surviving member of the original cast) emphasised the determination of everyone involved to make good film, not simply cash in on a mediocre sequel. One reviewer even described it as "the best slasher flick" of 2006. The first of the two Cold Prey-movies was extremely well received, and seen by 260,000 – a high number for Norway. 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. The mountain man eventually appears and seems to have the upper hand over Jannicke but is defeated when Camilla arrives. Enraged, Jannicke travels to the hotel where the first movie occurred and falls asleep waiting for the mountain man. 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. However, this plan is interrupted when the mountain man attacks, wounding her and killing officer Johan as well as frightening Camilla. After watching gunshots within the hospital, Jannicke offers to enter the hospital with officer Johan. 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.Īfter finding the body, the officers are attacked and all but Ole are killed in the ambush. 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. They proceed to rendezvous with officers Kim, Ole, Einar and Johan outside. 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. Eventually the mountain man wakes up, murders a distracted Sverre, and breaks free. The doctors manage to successfully bring the mountain man back to life and leave him under watch by Sverre. 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. During this time, the police investigation continues as they begin to discover more bodies. They decide to drug her to keep her calm after her emotional outburst, much to the protest of nurse Camilla.
