Dead Snow

Post by vern »

This is a new Nazi zombie movie from Norway. It's a comedy with a lot of references to the Evil Dead films. Even though it's pretty funny, they don't hold back on the gore at all. (The director is particularly fond of entrails.) There is a lot of brutal killing action and a good time was had by all.

I enjoyed it enough to recommend it for a rental with lots of beer on the side.

IGx disclaimer...even though there are four hot Scandinavian lasses in the flick there is no nudity. (Fuckers.) The dvd has an English audio track so you don't have to do any reading and get a migrane or anything.

Fats, yes.

I enjoyed it a lot, but it's a straight b-movie.
Cheap production, crappy actors and all. If you're into that type of stuff, the movie's definately watchable.

Now look. I've eaten a pice of pie.
When we spin the pie again, the area cut out of the volume of the sphere equals fitness.

Really? I've been watching it off and on hoping for nudity.

Horror comedies are almost always lackluster and zombies in general are played the fuck out right now.

The movie's not brand new really.

This wasn't bad at all. A bit silly at times. The fact that the chicks didn't get naked at any time annoyed me.

You'd damn well better believe it abs!

Shock Waves, Outpost, now Dead Snow are my favorites.

Avoid Zombie Lake at all costs. It's the opposite of Dead Snow, female nudity but the movie is crap.

Shock Waves and Zombie Lake occupy a sub-genre of 'aquatic Nazi zombie' movies.

Shock Waves has Peter cushing in it. That is the only way in which it approaches "good."

This movie was awesome.

Straight up b movie gold.

Edit

Shock Waves had good premise but it was horribly anticlimactic.

I've got Outpost coming from Netflix.

Yeah, any movie that has an MG-34 mounted on a snowmobile gets an automatic thumbs up.

Watched it last night. (I lobbied for "Black Christmas" but lost out.)

Meh. Too much pointless gore and it totally jumped the shark with the amputation scene.
