Review

You might have thought the yeti-ish killer from Fritt vilt was disposed of when Ingrid Bolsø Berdal planted an ice axe through his chest and sent him down into the crevasse, but in this sequel, he reappears in soap-opera fashion to wreak more havoc in the Norwegian mountains – this time in the local hospital. With that said, both the awakening and the subsequent small plot developments are quite clever. Although this series (as this has fast become) is as genre-bound as any horror film series, the films – including this one – retain a welcoming freshness amid the deranged and seemingly unmotivated lone killer, the screaming young ladies, the creaking doors, and the secluded houses. And of course, a little female power does the trick in the end.
