Nazi Zombies! You heard me right, this movie is about Nazi Zombies. Do I really need to say anything else? Doesn't that tell you all you really need to know about it? Nazis are really the go to villian in a lot of cases where they couldn't come up with a better idea, and zombies are the go to villian for horror movies where they couldn't come up with a better idea. Combine the two and you have a perfect nemesis for a horror movie, an evil villian who is already dead but just won't die. Dead Snow is actually a Norwegian film. It is about a young adults who go away to a secluded cabin for a weekend (what horror film doesn't start that way) but run into the area's current inhabitants, Nazis who were stationed there during World War II but were killed by some angry villagers and never really left.
Dead Snow isn't one of the best zombie movies I have seen, but it is a good one. This is noteworthy since most recent lower budget zombie movies that have come out have been garbage. People are just trying to cash in on the zombie craze by turning out crap cheap and fast, regardless of good it actually is. Some of the characters in the movie actually talk about Evil Dead 1 and 2 which makes a lot of sense because Dead Snow reminded me a lot of the works of Sam Raimi. I say that because of the excessive use of blood and gore, to the extent that it's not even gross, just hilarious.
I mean just look at these examples of what the zombies in Dead Snow do to some of the people:
1. Grab him by the head and pull it apart down the middle so his brain falls out onto the floor.
2. A guy hangs off the side of a cliff by holding onto the intestines of one of the zombies.
3. Five zombies grab a guy then all at once, rip off all of his limbs from his torso.
Zombie and over the top horror movies aren't for everyone. But if you do like movies like Evil Dead, Drag Me To Hell, or Hatchet, then definately check out Dead Snow. I mean how can you really go wrong with Nazi zombies eating Norwegian co-eds?

Hi i'm Ryumoau23 from gamefaqs. I really love your blog site. I'm not a particularly big horror fan myself. I do enjoy a couple like Descent and maybe the first 2 Saw movies, but i enjoy the comedy ones like Shaun of the Dead alot more.
