Tweetienator One of the best zombie comedies of recent years and what I like is not only the implementation of evil Nazi-Zombie-Commandos but the good shot of blood and guts. It is a comedy, yes, but it has enough splatter so even the connoisseur of all horrors and bloodbath in us is not only satisfied but pleased.Død snø directed by Tommy Wirkola (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) belongs into every collection of a serious zombie/walker related stuff addict. Død snø 2 is also a fine one with more production value, but if I would have only the choice to choose one of both movies, I would prefer the first movie.

jacotinto A Norwegian movie. What? Norvegian? A zombie movie. Oh wow so original. Guess what? If you, like me, thought this, you were so wrong. The acting was good, special effects were simple yet functional, and great considering the low budget, and the whole atmosphere is well- done. We've seen funny horror movies before (The cabin in the woods, to mention one of the best, if not the best, of this sub-genre) and i found this to achieve the objective this kind of movie, which is mixing horror with fun. Some scenes were,horror wise, well done, but then a funny sentence or a funny happening cracked the tension. The balance is great, even though the first part of the movie is more scary and the second one more funny. And when i say funny, i mean that i really laughed out loud! In particular, the scene when they fight the Nazi zombies and someones shows them a sickle and a hammer almost had me in tears. Really nice to watch! Only one thing: it's a bit gross in some parts, but i promise you it's for a good cause! 9/10 just because i'm expecting the sequel to be a better version of it!

maxastree Director Tommy Wirkola wears his influences on his sleeve, using derivative horror tropes and familiar source material in this snowbound Nazi zombie action film.Wirkola's failed "Hansel and Gretel: Witchhunters" movie was referred to as "the best Evil Dead sequel we never got" by Felix Vasquez Jr at Cinema Crazed.com, and that pretty much sums up this better, but inessential horror comedy project. Story features a group of puerile, foul mouthed "teens", (actually late twentysomethings, and further) hanging out in the snow in a holiday hut. Their combination of mall-friendly, potty mouthed humor, and smug peer-bonded contempt is reminiscent of practically every movie in the 80s "Friday the 13th" genre, or actually reminiscent of the worst aspects of public school life for fourteen year olds that are too mature, sensitive or intelligent to find tasteless sex and poop jokes to be a sign of great leadership and charisma.Anyway, these freaks get drunk out in the snow, and then there's sex and various "hey, where did Danny go?" scare gags until, horribly, it turns out that they're being hunted by zombie Nazis, preserved under the snow for decades. The Nazis are violent, mostly speechless and like ripping heads, arms and stomachs to pieces. The actual zombie make-up is very second rate, but a lot of the gore effects are "top notch" if you like this kind of thing. Moreover, low budget productions for this generation look a lot better than their poor cousins from decades ago due to digital compositing and color grading tricks that make the film look great, although somewhat limited due to unusually long periods where the director of photography uses only medium close-up shots. If there's a 'language of cinema', camera director Matthew Weston apparently has never heard of it, because large chunks of the first and second part of the story are framed like camera-phone footage.That aside, the film also suffers from a total lack of originality, from the 80s slasher setup in the "plot" to the fact that numerous gags and scare scenes are lifted directly from Sam Raimis 'Evil Dead 2' and Peter Jacksons 'Braindead'. To its advantage, the movie DOES feature a hell of a lot of snow, and the idea of zombies emerging from beneath snow, and numerous scenes where characters are submerged or fighting in snow ads a bit of a "novel twist", also the sequel was rated as considerably better than this film by most major critics, which is pretty cool, I guess.Subtitled in Norwegian.

one-nine-eighty "Dead Snow" or "Død snø" is a teenager-slasher-horror-comedy with Nazi- zombies and a cabin in the woods, sounds a bit cliché but don't be put off, this film is BRILLIANT!!!Ingredients: - 1 group of young sexy kids - Beer - Music - Madness - 1 Weird stranger with warnings and evil stories - Ignorance - Partying - Handful of cursed killer Nazi Zombie psychopathsThis film was brilliant, it was the "Shaun of the Dead" of Norwegian Zombie films as it brilliantly mixed comedy with horror and gore. The kids are medical students on a term break in a cabin in the woods and snow. They meet a stranger who tells them of Nazi gold and Nazi zombies. After the stranger is gone all of the stories come true throughout the film - ALL come true!!The film is entertaining and gory, it had moments of tension as well as adrenaline packed moments sprinkled with tongue in cheek humour. If you have ever wondered any of the following then watch this film:Can a human fight on despite having no intestines? - Can Zombie's communicate with each other and act out military and tactical manoeuvres? - Do Norwegian medical students actually enjoy sex after defecating? - Is Nazi Gold cursed? - Can zombie's function in snow?Directed by Tommy Wirkola who got famous with "Kill Buljo: The Movie", which is a Norwegian parody of Kill Bill. Wirkola continues in the same comedy/homage/genre category to great effect. I really really enjoyed this film and can't wait for the sequel that the end of this film potentially offers. I am that impressed with this that I have no doubt at all awarding this 9 out of 10.
