I really liked the first one alot (if you haven't seen I recommend), who knew Norway could do slashers? And by the time I saw the first one the sequel had already gone into production taking place right after the first.
As this one starts Jannicke is discovered where we left her at the end of the first one, bloodied, holding a pick axe on a snowy mountain in Norway. She is quickly brought to the nearest hospital (which is on the verge of closing down, so has minimal staff and patients), Jannicke's tells the police what happened (I won't spoil the first one) and they bring her friends and the killer Geir Olav Brath's bodies to the morgue and before you can even cough the words "Halloween 2" aloud Geir Olav Brath is back up and running like Michael Myers sporting a Han Solo on the planet Hoth look. Killing the remaining staff, patients and police to get to Jannicke.
Sounds pretty basic huh? Well it is but its fucking brilliant. 50 mins of the movie are devoted to character build up and for once we do care! (America take note) It's amazingly filmed, the tension build up is intense and the scares are not jump/stingers they are long built up and tense.
Jannicke is right up there with one of the best final girls ever, she goes from Laurie Strode catatonic (one of the films many Halloween 2 references) to Ellen Ripley get away from her you bitchness. I heart her and the Lesbians are gonna love this lady she kicks Norwegian ass.
