aka Død snø
Director Tommy Wirkola's Norwegian splatterfest Dead Snow deserves points for coming up with the outrageously memorable idea of Nazi zombies.
It follows the story of a group of students who go for a drunken vacation in the snowy Norway mountains where they're hunted down by a pack of the SS undead. Instead of going right into the entertaining absurd, the film sadly spends too much time running over the same ol' horror movie staples and really doesn't amount to much until the final act. The characters are all so boring you can't wait for the carnage to start happening but when it does it doesn't disappoint. The gore effects are wonderful, the humor is off-the-wall hilarious and the photography is great but all that doesn't save it from being pretty bland. It's a great campy concept that doesn't use what it has to it's full advantage.
