Quick Look: Dead Snow (2009)



Two words: Nazi zombies.  That was all I needed to read before wanting to check this movie out.  I was not disappointed.  (It should be noted, this is a foreign horror film set in Norway, and the characters are all speaking Norwegian.)
A group of 7 med school students venture up into the woods/mountains of Norway on Easter break to meet a friend at her cabin for a weekend of r&r.  They, of course, encounter the zombies and an entertaining splatter-fest ensues.

There is no new ground broken in this film, there are no actors you would recognize, and many horror movie cliches are abound - victims who were drinking, having sex, venturing off alone, etc...  Plus, there seemed to be several plot holes, but let's be honest- we are not watching films like this for tight scripts and plot, we are watching for the mutilations, killings and gore, and you will find this movie has all your needs covered.  For example, these zombies prefer disembowelments to brain munching.  You will see gunfire, use of a moltov cocktail, a chainsaw, a sledge hammer, and several hatchets.  It is a fun 91 minute ride, and a must see for zombie movie fans.
