Zombie Movie Review: DEAD SNOW

Oh I am so excited to tell you about this movie! If you're into the zombie genre like me, then you'll LOVE it. It's a mix of comedy and gore, which are rarely mixed together, and it's a bit theatrical. The language is Norwegian with subtitles, but you don't even notice that because the dialogue isn't really important.



The plot of the story goes: A bunch of college students go to a cabin in some snowy mountains for their spring break. The students find out the land they're on was once occupied by the German Nazi's during the war, the Nazis were driven out and believed to have frozen to death. We find this is not true, because they are now ZOMBIES!!!!

The category of these Zombies are: runners (which make escape much more difficult), thinkers (stupid is always easier), weapon usage (knives and such) and they have a leader (General Herzog).



Great highlights of this movie are:
- guy getting ripped in two
- snowmobile vs zombie scenarios are carried out
- machine gun Attached to the snowmobile
- Chainsaw vs zombie scenarios
- how to's of re-orienting yourself after being buried in snow by an avalanche
- funny guy-throws-molotov-only-to-set-own-cabin on fire scene
- guy cuts off arm fearing spread of infection, then duct-tapes the wound

It's a fantastical movie. Absolute thumbs-up. I honestly wanted to re-watch it, after watching it.
