Brief Synopsis:
I liked the movies Cold Prey 1 & 2, and the fact that they follow each other in story is brilliant. So I thought "Hey", how about making them into one full feature film. "Brilliant".

Just wanted to make these two continuous sequels into one thrill ride feature.

My first review...itl'll be to the point.

I had never heard of the Cold Prey duology so I cam into this fresh.
***SPOILERS***
I had read the previous review so I was aware that the majority of the cut was from Part 1. That being said I thought It seemed obvious where Part 2 began (when Jaanick is being pulled toward the crevice, right?)
I found the story to be a pretty standard spooky guy chasing down attractive young people until his eventual ambiguous demise type of flick.
After reading through the list of cuts, I think the editor did a great job cutting away the diffrent layers. The only character that seemed to be introduced with no explanation was the the child in the hospital toward the end.
Anyhoo, that being said it was an enjoyable cut and I am looking forward to checking out the originals.

Overview - Norwegian slasher thrillers, joined together nicely. The first installment boasted the original concept but was marred by too many lulls. The sequel suffered a sense of repetition, yet the pace drove quicker. Even better, higher body count, and not just civilians, but cops. Professionals. MikeDrew chopped 70 minutes in his edit, with little sense of loss.

Video - Great look throughout. Both film were always of halves - the blinding outdoor world, and the dark, claustrophobic interiors. The edits were smooth and the transition between Part 01 and Part 02 was graceful.

Audio - Solid 2 channel stereo. No difficulty hearing anything. Excellent subtitles. For those who don’t like to read movie subs, there was no dub track here. Get over it. The original dubbed version I heard was terrible anyway.

Narrative - The edit was heavy on Part 01. Establishing and getting to know characters. Part 02 was the last third of the edit, and the pace was hammer down. Scant character development, however. The cops’ scenes inside the hospital were heavily truncated. An error perhaps. As with most slasher fests, the more raw meat, the better. The narrative as a whole holds together, though gears seem to downshift a little between the films. One logical issue never addressed (certainly not in either original) was how Jannicke manages to endure outdoor conditions without thermal gear.

Enjoyment - Difficult to say. More gratifying than the first film, and I truly appreciate the fact that MikeDrew rendered his edit to under two hours. Police sequences at the hospital would have enhanced the gore ... yet ... and this is a concession ... I understand how that reinforces a major criticism of the sequel, the seeming invincibility of Mr Snowman. After considering this, yes, MikeDrew made the correct editing decision there.

Very satisfying slasher film. Especially welcome during cold months.
