Norwegian film makers get it. This is how to make a cool movie; balance the humor and horror, special effects that don't over power the movie, and most importantly: actors that care what they are doing and do it well!. The story revolves around a bunch of medical students getting away for some rest and relaxation during the Easter break. Unknown to them, they've set up camp at the absolute wrong place. Back in the day, evil Nazi's used these hills for an escape route or safe haven way back when, and it's said that this is where they supposedly holed up and eventually died. Well, they ain't all that dead. Our medical students eventually meet these blood-thirsty German maniacs and the red stuff starts flowing. A mad dash for survival ensues, and it all ends up being a 'hail' of a lot of fun, there's chainsaw action, decapitations, rope pulling with intestines, axe murders, machine gun concerts and disembowelment. The effects are top-notch in spite of the obvious budgetary restrictions, and the make up art on the zombies is very impressive. The rotting uniformed corpses look quite menacing, especially their leader. The snowy landscapes were beautiful picture to behold, although it's even more amusing to see the white snow color red with blood! Tommy Wirkola is a clearly talented director and hopefully a promising long career awaits him. The flick however isn't perfect as it suffers some from small horror clichés, like dumb decision making. But at the same time, they handle these clichés in a somewhat refreshing manner. Some cheap scare tactics are used early on to get you on edge, but those are barely used later on, when violence and creative gore take hold. Dead Snow really surprised me. I wasn't expecting such a fun flick and the characters were all well-fleshed out, the dialogue well-written and funny, the gore aplenty, the horror nods abundant and awesome (Braindead t-shirts?!), and even the score and soundtrack were good. This should become a pretty big hit for horror fans, well I hope so anyways.

What more needs to be said about Nazi zombies on the prowl in modern day Scandinavia? Students careless enough to go to a remote cottage for a weekend of fun in the snow, get more than they bargained for when they attract the attention of a group of Nazi zombies who have been terrorising the area since World War 2. It is very silly but great fun. The gore is delivered full-on and the mutilations and deaths are often laugh out loud gruesome. It is sold cheap, so you can enjoy it for a bargain price. Don't expect too much and you will not be disappointed. Definitely better than you would expect.

Perhaps surprisingly, this very, very good film from Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola.
I say 'surprisingly' because a film about Nazi zombies sounds like it's going to be a jokey spoof type thing - either that or a fifth rate direct-to-rental disaster.
But Dead Snow is neither of these - it's a tightly scripted, well-acted no-nonsense zombie film.
Recommended.

A hoot - highly recommended
I took the rave reviews here on Amazon with a pinch of salt and was quite prepared for a "it's so bad it's good" type of movie, but that really doesn't do it justice. Read more
