The first one was a gory blast. But the second one tops it in every conceivable way: This is a no-holds-barred splat-fest from the beginning to the end which would make (the early) Peter Jackson proud!

I can take a lot of splatter, but I must admit: some scenes were so disgusting that I was as much retching as I was laughing (a very confusing experience - believe me), this movie really takes no prisoners. And it really seems to want to make a statement against political correctness: the elderly, the disabled, kids, mothers with strollers, gays, heck: even babies(!!!) all get blown up or hacked to pieces in such creative ways that even an old gore-hound like me was a bit shocked (I must shamefully admit). Then again, when you're dealing with Nazi-Zombies, that was to be expected.

But the film is also very well done; the camera, the music, the sound-effects, and - most importantly - the make-up effects were absolutely fantastic. Nazi-Zombies have never looked better.

A word to the wise, though: This film is absolutely not for the easily offended (or people, who - unlike me - have a certain amount of taste, decency and general common sense left).

Watch at your own risk - 8 stars out of 10 from me.

Invigorating sequel to the popular Norwegian horror movie of 2009 is good - sometimes great -fun. It brings back the much tormented Vegar Hoel as Martin, once again forced to battle zombie hordes. In a delicious twist, his severed arm has been replaced with the limb once worn by nefarious Nazi zombie leader Herzog (Orjan Gamst). This gives him increased strength and a special ability, which are going to come in handy. Fortunately, Martin will have allies this time, including a self-appointed American zombie squad, consisting of no more than two girls and a guy.

The gleefully politically incorrect humour is refreshing in a sequel that goes for the "bigger and better" approach. It's got lots of action, lots of gore, and is quite exciting at times. This time the zombified antagonists take on a great many victims. The acting is terrific from all concerned, with Hoel endearing as our hero. Gamst is fantastic as our unstoppable foe, for whom the retrieval of gold just wasn't enough. The integrated cast this time around also includes such American actors as Martin Starr, as Daniel, and Derek Mears, as Stavarin. The script, by Hoel, co-star Stig Frode Henriksen (who plays the nerdy Glenn Kenneth), and director Tommy Wirkola dabbles in self-referential remarks, but never goes overboard in this regard. There are some great gore gags, often involving internal organs. But the best asset of the movie is the healthy dose of humour, which makes all of this very easy to watch. The subplot with the incompetent cops is amusing but not as much fun as most of the movie.

If you liked the first "Dead Snow", you just might love this one.

Eight out of 10.

One of the rarest moments in cinema, when the sequel is better than the first, but wait, the first being a great movie too! So there you have it folks, another miracle just happened, you witnessed it and you can tell your grand children, that you were there, when Dead Snow 2 made its appearance!!

This one is a tad bit darker, much more complex, kinda the same amount of laughs, but the plot, huge improvement! You get hooked by it, just laying there, minutes passing and while craving for more, you do smile from time to time. Quite amazing the fact that they didn't rush a sequel with a weaker story, but actually showed some brains: literally and metaphorically of course!

It's a big mistake to read more, find out about the plot, get some insides, just watch it! Leave IMDb, and go watch Dead Snow 2! It is a BLAST!

Cheers!

Of course the zombie movie genre actually is one that has least of worries surviving a troubled movie market. Yet artistically it has seen little ingenuity off lately. Luckily the Norwegians decided to step in to turn the tide of ever more formula driven boring slaughter and slashing gore. If all zombie flicks would be adding as many original ideas as this one the genre wouldn't be facing imminent death by boredom. Let's hope the next one is even better. And let's hope that the producers will be brave enough to not give in to US inspired hypocrite 'moral' in aspiring to broader audiences. A doubtful moral that would probably threat depicting the metaphors for the deplorable human condition that zombie movies are all about. And one that would most likely kill the brilliant final scene of this one.

I personally thought the first one was better. This one tried and I appreciate the effort that is put into this. But it just felt way too drawn out and the over the top moments seemed more silly than it actually being cool. There is no suspense or anything all that cool really, even if it has over the top blood and gore scenes. While the zombies were actually kind of intimidating and creepy in the first one it, just isn't the case here. I thought some ideas that are dumb and clever at the same time sort of worked, even if it doesn't make much sense if you think about it. Yeah, they created a new genre of zombies, but that doesn't make it particularly good or anything. So the zombies knows how to talk, communicate, fist fight, use weapons and be able to run. And the head of the zombie pack can resurrect the dead, without much explanation. The first "Dead Snow" was a survival movie...Well sort of. This one is a zombie brawl, it's somewhat entertaining for a while but it loses it's flavor quickly. I give this flick a 6.3/10 because of the effort, even if some parts of it seemed quite pointless.

6.3/10

Everything in zombie movies has been done to death (see what I did there?). And yet, here comes a movie that actually adds to the genre whilst simultaneously disgusting me and making me belly laugh. And not one of those infectious belly laughs. You know, when you are in a theatre and something mildly amusing on-screen sends a ripple through the crowd which grows; mostly because the girl down the front has a weird cackling laugh that morphs into a full-on snort fest, and that just sets everyone else off. Yeah, well, it's not like that.

I was on my own. And I laughed out loud multiple times. I genuinely LOLed. That's as rare as rocking horse faeces.

Dead Snow 1 was a revelation; a brilliant twist on the genre. Dead Snow 2 adds again. The comedy elements are ratcheted up as is the budget. A budget wisely spent on special effects and sheer scale.

If you are after genuine chills and insights into the human condition, Dead Snow 2 will leave you cold (see what I did there too?). But if your appetite runs to comedic gore in the vein of Peter Jackson's 'Brain Dead', you will love this one.

Død snø was a great surprise and a great pleasure to me. The second movie got for sure the bigger production but besides that I prefer the first one - I felt more connected to the characters and the gore and humor was more on the point. Død snø 2 is still good but offering more of everything does not automatically make a movie the better one. A solid piece for the lover of zombie mayhem, but maybe a little bit disappointing too - especially because the 2nd movie is all in all more a horror comedy, whereas the first one got some humor too but felt more like a "real" horror movie.

'DEAD SNOW 2: RED VS. DEAD': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Sequel to the 2009 Norwegian zombie horror-comedy flick; about a group of students attacked by Nazi zombies, in the Norwegian mountains. The sole survivor, of that film, is now trying to defend a Norwegian town; from annihilation, by the Nazi zombies. It was once again directed by Tommy Wirkola and written by Wirkola, Stig Frode Henriksen and Vegar Hoel. Hoel and Henriksen also once again star in the movie and this time they're joined by Martin Starr, Ingrid Haas, Jocelyn DeBoer, Hallvard Holmen, Kristoffer Joner, Amrita Acharia, Derek Mears and Orjan Garnst (reprising his role as Colonel Herzog). I loved the movie; it's so much fun! Picking up right where the first film left off; Martin (Hoel) is still on the run from the Nazi zombies, and he crashes his car in the mountains. He ends up in a hospital where a doctor replaces his amputated arm, that he sawed off in the first film (to stop a zombie infection), with the undead arm of Colonel Herzog (Garnst). He can't control the arm, at first, and it murders several people. He later learns that he has special zombie powers, thanks to his new zombie arm. He also learns that Herzog, and his army of undead Nazis, plan on destroying a town; as part of a 70-year-old assignment, given to them by Hitler. Martin finds help from a WWII museum employee, named Glenn (Henriksen), and three American siblings; calling themselves the 'Zombie Squad'. They're lead by a nerd named Daniel (Starr). The movie is full of excessive and extremely grotesque zombie violence; it's definitely not a film for everyone, but it's also full of really funny light-hearted humor. The action scenes are so much fun and the characters are all likable and mostly relatable (in an exaggerated way). The additions of Star and Holmen, to the cast, are brilliant and there's a classic zombie sidekick character (Joner) as well. Hoel is also, once again, outstanding in the lead and Wirkola's directing is perfect. It's sure to become a cult classic, like the original, and its also highly reminiscent of 'EVIL DEAD II'; which is a good thing (in my opinion).

Can't believe it has been 5 years already since the first "Død Snø" movie was out. Time really flies by fast, and this sequel has been long awaited. And it was with a great amount of expectation and high hopes that I sat down to watch "Død Snø 2".¨

Whereas the first movie was entertaining and loosely similar to "Evil Dead", then "Død Snø 2" has added more comedy, but also a great upgrade in budget, and it really shows.

Everything in "Død Snø 2" is just a step up from what it was in the first movie, from the camera-work, to the zombie make-up, to the production value, and the list goes on and on. And for the gorehounds, then "Død Snø 2" really offer a good amount of entertainment.

"Død Snø 2" is entertaining, just bear in mind that there is a fair amount of comedy throughout the movie as well, and if you enjoy movies such as "Evil Dead", "Shaun of the Dead", "Dead Alive" and the like, then you will most definitely like "Død Snø 2" as well.

I was more than genuinely entertained and surprised by this movie, and it is a very worthy addition to the movie collection of any zombie aficionado. And the movie has enough contents to sustain more than a single watching. "Død Snø 2" is well worth the time and effort to sit down and watch.

I am rating a "Død Snø 2" a solid and well-deserved 9 out of 10 stars.

Nazi zombies! 2009's Norwegian horror film 'Dead Snow' was the very definition of a 'high concept' movie, given that it could be fully described and sold with those two words (and punctuation). I found it no more than OK, but someone would appear to have appreciated it because Hollywood tapped director Tommy Wirkola up for 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters', starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton.

Again, critical reviews were somewhat frosty (no pun intended), but H&G:WH made a comfortable profit, and Wirkola has used his industry cred to come back to 'Dead Snow' for a sequel.

The Hollywood influence is evident in several areas of 'Dead Snow 2'. It is considerably larger in scale, for a start, including pitch battles between the undead fascists and their new (or rather, old) Communist adversaries, as well as a tank, large numbers of extras, and a lot more daylight wide shots that indicate a higher budget.

Then there are the American characters, leading to a lot of the dialogue being in English, which is bound to raise the international saleability. It is also a lot funnier. The original played it more-or-less as a straight horror, buying into the ridiculous premise, but the sequel highlights this incongruity for comedic effect.

There are also a few jokes at the expense of the Americans, sly cinematic digs and a whole lot of gore that leans towards the slapstick side. It reminded me more than anything of the Finnish 'Nazis on the Moon' comedy 'Iron Sky', and that is a positive association in my book.

The music is very well-used, and I detected hints of world-building in the nature and rules of the resurrection, raising the prospect of an entire 'Dead Snow' series. There are some slightly uncomfortable hints of terrorist Anders Breivik in the demented Norwegian main character, taking extreme actions in response to a threat others cannot (initially) believe, but maybe I am just reading too much into it.

It's all exuberant fun, with a commendable sense of its own ridiculousness. Some of the gags are a bit low-brow for me, but others are genuinely funny, end even quite witty. Dead Snow 3? Why not, I'd watch!

There sure are some confusing reviews on this one. I'm not sure if they were paid or what, but I read a review on a site I frequent and it was very positive. That prompted me to watch this movie although it hadn't really been on a list I had planned to review. Before I start, or receive the typical responses of I don't know a good movie when I see one, I did watch the first one and I thought it was pretty well done. I enjoyed the over the top violence and the cheesy story. In Dead Snow, it works (P.S. I also liked Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters).

That said, what a pile of garbage this was. I'm sorry, but this movie was clearly attempting to become a cult classic. I really hate when movies try to position themselves in this way. You will notice that all cult classics that are cult classics didn't become cult classics because they were trying to become cult classics. Example; Evil Dead. This movie is a favourite because although it wasn't a huge success, and it was made on a shoestring budget, it gained momentum over time for how revolutionary it was. There was nothing like that here…this was pure rubbish.

I found the gore was purposely over the top as in it was meant to generate a shock for specific unnecessary aspects of each scene that were clearly thrown in solely for their shock value, and not as a part of the story.

I found many of the fight scenes to be way to drawn out and choreographed…especially the fights between zombies. There were some unnecessary MMA type moves and holds that had no place here..lot's of repetition as well in the fight moves.

This movie was both in English and Norwegian which I thought hurt the film as the Norwegian actors (who are probably great actors in Norway and Norwegian) did not carry their English parts well and the chemistry between the English cast was at least partially ruined by the language barrier. Make the movie in either English or Norwegian. As a side, I felt this was another attempt to achieve cult status. It felt to me like the English characters could have been Norwegian which would have improved the story but instead they were in English to bring in the larger English speaking audience who may have missed the first movie, but watched and enjoyed Witch Hunters.

The only thing I kind of liked about the movie was Martin Starr. I have to say though, it felt like they went after him as he is already kind of a cult hero because of Freaks and Geeks and Silicon Valley. His character (and I'm talking across most of his work) was specifically the audience they were trying to target and so they brought him in to try to target them. He is by far the best part of this movie, but that isn't saying much.

If you love zombie movies….watch something else because this one is trying way too hard to be the cool kid.

Rating: 4/10

This film had fantastic practical effects and the special effects team does their best (worst?) to offer up escalating gore. These guys do things with intestines that you can't unsee. Merciless scalpings and head stompings are just the icing on the cake as there's no mercy whatsoever, even for babies, or the disabled. If you wanted a feast of blood and guts, you got it. The kill count here is increased and the kills didn't seem like they were done before as it had some moments that had me genuinely surprised and I'm glad this genre is still able to do that. You can just sit down with your friends, relax and enjoy some brutally awesome kills.

It was so much fun, you don't really need to think much about this film as the humor was there, some of it fell flat but mostly it was just a really fun film. Nobody took themselves seriously here and they were able to experiment with the comedy horror. I said before that comedy and horror don't really mix but this film makes it work because it's wacky but not too wacky and it was a unique concept to take on the genre.

There were only three things that I didn't like. First was the cops as they didn't provide anything for the plot, except an extra plotline to extend the runtime of the film. The second one is the Russian zombies as they had the same problem as the nazi zombies had in the first movie - they just weren't menacing. And the third one is the ending as it promotes a kink for zombies. The latter did provide some shock factor and very least.

Having been a horror fan for longer than I can almost remember, I've seen countless zombie films, and while the genre has had life pumped into it on several occasions (the speedy zombies of 28 days/weeks, and the comedy zombies of Shaun of the Dead) in recent years it's kinda fell by the wayside once again. I enjoyed Dead Snow (the first film) but I'm not sure I gave it the praise many others did, preferring to just think of it as another (slightly gorier) Shaun film. So I came to DS2 with low expectations, I knew I'd probably like it, but gawd, I really didn't expect to fall on my knees and worship the thing. . Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead is without doubt the most fantastic comedy horror I've seen in years - period. I saw Wolf Creek 2 just a few weeks back and while the improvement in that film over it's first part is sky high, Dead Snows is interstellar. It's extremely gory, almost to the point you'll wonder if you should be laughing at things like child kills, wheelchair kills, even baby kills, but man it's fun with a capital F. And, it looks absolutely beautiful too, with the Norwegian countryside just sparkling (no snow this time). I don't want to spoil anything for anyone here, but this movie manages (once more) to revive the undead sub-genre. It's action packed, and dare I say it, maybe even a little moving at the end? I loved every, single, blood splattered second of it and can't wait to buy it on bluray. And make sure you watch to the end of the titles by the way. Stunning stuff. Long live, the living dead.

I really really enjoyed this movie!The truth is that i had high expectations with this one but i wasn't let down not once!!!It starts with a small brief of what happened at the first one and gets better and better as it proceeds!The cast is very well chosen,each one is unique and you really care for the characters!The main actor does a great performance as he is better,funnier and interesting than he was before,Of course there are many funny parts so i would say that it is more of a comedy than a horror..the first one was more horror than a comedy in my opinion!!The end is hilarious and there is an after credit scene which prepares everyone for part 3..which makes sense since this movie has to be a trilogy!Thumbs up for this movie people!!I really enjoyed it and i recommend it even to people who aren't into zombie flicks!!

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead(2014) Starring: Vegar Hoel, Ørjan Gamst, Martin Starr, Jocelyn DeBoer, Ingrid Haas, Stig Frode Henriksen, Hallvard Holmen, Kristoffer Joner, Amrita Acharia, Derek Mears, Christian Rubeck, Bjarte Tjøstheim, Charlotte Frogner, Jesper Sundnes, Tage Guddingsmo, and David Skaufjord Directed By: Tommy Wirkola Review HEADS UP. THEY'RE BACK. Hello Kiddies your Pal The Crypt-Critic with a another Nazi Zombi adventure. But I wonder why it's still called Dead Snow when there's no snow at all in the film. Oh who cares. The gruesome Nazi Zombies are back to finish their mission, but our hero is not willing to die. He is gathering his own army to give them a final fight. With me not enjoying these films as much (I guess it's because I'm more of a vampire person than a zombie when it comes to horror) I got to say this sequel was much more silly and just went for it. The last film started out like your typical slasher, teens go to a cabin only in the mountains and they get killed one by one. But this sequel takes it to the city and they have full blown war, much like the first one again. But this one is more intense and even has a great fun to watch fist fight between the main character and the major Nazi zombie leader. Some of the effects do look better than the last film but that isn't saying much because they were awful. The Direction is still just as good as the first film, this is from the same director who brought us Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters, a film I quite enjoy. He is great at making dumb-silly fun films that are a blast to sit through. Dead Snow 2:Red VS Dead is much the same silly fun as the first film but with much more fun sequences and luckily was replaced with English audio so I didn't have to read subtitles again. I'm giving Dead Snow 2: Red Vs Dead a three and a half out of five.

Don't even believe for one second that "Dead Snow 2" is better than the original! Whoever claims that probably also thinks that all horror remakes are superior to their originals and that they should make another fifteen sequels to the "Saw" franchise. Fact of the matter remains that the Norwegian "Dead Snow" from 2009 was an entertaining and refreshing zombie-hit, and the entire world noticed so as well. Writer/director Tommy Wirkola promptly got offered a ticket to Hollywood and the change to direct a modern version of a classic Grimm fairy-tale. I haven't seen "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" – and I don't immediately intend to – but considering the success it had, I'm honestly surprised that our director still returned to his fatherland to make a sequel to his international breakthrough hit. After having seen part 2, I'm actually a lot less surprised, as Wirkola completely "Hollywoodized" his success formula and turned "Dead Snow 2" into a lame and derivative splatter comedy. All of a sudden half of the cast is American, the body count increases tremendously and all the snow has melted. Martin, the sole survivor of the snow mountain massacre discovers that Commander Herzog and his squad of Nazi zombies weren't interested in recovering the lost golden coins after all, but they stood up from their graves because they have a mission to complete! A mission that they received from Hitler himself, that ordered to kill and entire village. Martin, wanted for the mass-murder of his friends and accidentally wearing the Nazi Commander's right arm, has to stop them and gets help from American zombie geeks, a gay museum curator and a platoon of Russian zombie warriors. "Dead Snow 2" shouldn't even be called like this, since the largest part of the film – everything after the intro, in fact – takes place in a green and summery environment! Without its snowy and tangible ice-cold filming locations, the formula immediately loses half of its charm and powerful impact. And Tommy Wirkola's creativity appears to be melting just as fast as the snow… All the characters turned into awful stereotypes (zombie geeks quoting "Star Wars"? Oh, come on…), the gore & bloodshed is now dull and uninspired (intestines-pulling is only ingenious the first couple of times) and the humor became overly crude and tasteless. Call me a sourpuss if you must, but I simply don't think that blasting away young mothers and their newborn babies with a rocket launcher is funny. Luckily there are still a handful of imaginative ideas and twists, like for example the endlessly resurrecting sidekick zombie and the deliberately cheesy soundtrack (including Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart"), but overall this was the biggest disappointment of the year. The 2009 original remains the only great Nazi-zombie flick ever made, along with the awesome 1977 "Shock Waves".

The dark humour is delightful and ending superb... well placed masterpiece

Starting right at the end of the first Dead Snow, Martin does not even have time to recover, as he must gather an army to stop the undead Nazis from completing the mission they were on before they died.

It's a movie that pokes fun at the zombie genre while adding to it at the same time. Parodying itself makes for a great safety net for adding your own spin to the genre, but they did not need it. The more extreme the movie seems to get the better. I loved how outrageous the movie gets.

My personal favorite was Martian Star as the leader of a group of geeks who claim to be Zombie hunters, only this is the first set of Zombies they ever go up against. It had a Lost boys type thing going on.

It's rare that I've seen a bad Zombie movie, but it's even rarer that you see one that takes the genre up a notch, and that's Red vs. Dead.

I have to say I was really disappointed with this sequel. I loved the first movie, it was just such a good laugh - the right amount of gore, right amount of silly and right amount of fun. I felt like there was way too much effort to put some 'back story' or detail behind the zombies in the sequel, which just felt ridiculously over the top (and not in a good way) and kinda stupid. I think the reason this film is not as brilliant as the first one is because of the American influence. The three Americans in the film are unbelievably irritating and unfunny. There were a few quite cool bits in the film - mainly some of the more gory scenes...but other than that I did not enjoy the sequel at all. Shame.

Shakespeare this ain't. Kurosawa this ain't. Citizen Kane this ain't (thank god). Crude, overly violent, low budget, offensive ?? Sure.

Funny, self aware, entertaining, pure escapism ?? Yes !! Rather than criticising this for what is isn't how about enjoying it for what it is. A low budget horror comedy with no airs or graces that is fully self aware of it's utter ludicrousness. Switch off your brain and enjoy.
