Dead Snow


Ahhh, I've been waiting to see this one for a little while know. Much like the afore-mentioned Drag me to hell, this movie isn't going to win an Oscar for anything. It drags 5 minutes too long before getting to the action and isn't long enough to tie up loose ends, it is, however, tons of fun. Obviously, Tommy Wirkola loves the best things about American cinema and has no issue exploiting them. There are several references to Friday The 13th, Evil Dead series and even the Indiana Jones movies. At one point in this all Norwegian spoken movie, the characters stop to quote movies, in English. Just so you get the reference, I guess, which is awesome especially when the quote is "Fortune and Glory, kid. Fortune and Glory." It really brings a feel good vibe to a movie about Nazi Zombies attacking douche medical students on a snowy mountain top. The movie doesn't make much sense, there is no explanation of why there are Nazi Zombies in the mountains....I mean, there's no explanation of why their zombies anyways. The one douchetard that knows what's going on, gets killed first for being stupid, which kinda makes no sense. That would be like killing Lance Henrikson 1st in Pumpkin head thus destroying the entire movie. Yeah, it's a little cobbled together, but there are chainsaw beheadings, a funny hammer and sickle reference/ killing, outhouse sex scenes and a self amputation/cauterization scene that is totally over the top. It's pretty fun to watch if you've got nothing else going on and could use some laughs. That's what this one's got, gross out laughs, don't expect much sense.
