And that's why I cant give it a rating. I froze my arse of being under shovles of snow, waiting to stand up as a zombie nazi. I do think it's a really fun splatter horror comedy, and the direction by Tommy (Wirkola) told me he would go on to bigger projects. It's by far the most entertaining and cold experience in my short life in movies. More fun was the world premiere in Tromsø, where about 1/4 of the invited audience left the cinema when the gorefest started. Highly recomandation from a biased member of the Død Snø crew!
first of let me just say i am a huge zombie/gore/horror fan and there are few known movies i haven't seen during my years on this planet. with that said i have to say that "Dead Snow" is by far the best Zombie movie i have ever seen. everything clicked perfectly together. the humor was spot on and the gore was just priceless beyond belief. this film is just eye candy for the hordes of horror fans out there. i loved the theme music in the opening sequence, very appropriate and perfect for troll like Zombies. the countless references to classic movies like "Evil Dead", "friday the 13th", "april fools day", "braindead" and of course various Zombie movies was just phenomenal. The filmmakers make no attempt what so ever to hide the fact that this film is almost purely based on these movies, and that my friends is a golden ticket to a inexplicable gore-fest of uber Zombies, a Chainsaw and a lot of intestines being ripped out in the best of entertaining ways. WATCH this film and you wont regret it! i'll give you my word as a true horror fan.
I have had this movie on Blu Ray for a while and recently revisted. it. Dead Snow is a Norwegian production and is a Nazi zombie horror comedy. Dead Snow definitely delivers the gory goods and gives a nod to the classics that came before, most notably Evil Dead and Dead Alive/Braindead. The film is definitely campy,, but when the horror needs to be amped up, it still plays well. The make up f/x and gore look great. Overall, I had a good time watching this and this Blu Ray is definitely a keeper.
I enjoyed this movie more than I should have done, which makes you question why does a really basic idea with absolutely no plot, logic or common sense make for good viewing? Because it was fun.
All that matters when it comes to movies of this genre is that you feel satisfied by the rolling credits and your brain receives the right amount of serotonin or whatever mood enhancer your brain requires. If you want to look at the technical aspects of this film, it was total nonsense, but who cares when a zombie flick like this provides all the gratuitous stupidity and gore you could realistically ask for?
Often, movies of this ilk take themselves too seriously and try to be bigger than their net worth, when instead they should be chucking hordes of rabid zombies and entrails at you instead, with buckets and buckets of blood!
There are some really good laughs in this one: recommended.

Come on! It was fun! Zombified Nazi soldiers from the war are attacking a bunch of students. And the students fight back. A lot of references to Evil Dead here, a lot of fun, stupendous gore, with all the guts and brains and blood you would ever want.
At times the humour in the film actually hurt the viewing, since it was obviously artificial, so the greatest flaw of the movie, according to yours truly, is that it was not consistent, ever shifting from parody to the real thing. But eve so, it was tons of fun.
Although I have to admit, the funniest part of the movie is when the Nazi zombie officer appears with a spotless officer hat. I can only imagine the poor guy, eternally cleaning his military attire.

- TriviaThe Nazi zombies in this film are a combination of typical zombies in popular culture and ancient Norse mythical beings known as draug. A draug is a undead being who would inhabit graves, often the graves of important men, as they often had treasures in them. A draug would protect these treasures as if they were their own.
- GoofsWhen one of the zombies climbs in a tree one can clearly see that his hand is skin colored and not greenish as it is supposed to be. All the zombies are greenish in skin color.
