Dead Snow
« on: 27 September 2009, 08:02:03 PM »
Has anyone seen this film ?
I spotted it in the "World Cinema" section of HMV yesterday:

Advertised as Ein, Zwei, Die!

Modern setting with Nazi zombies in rural Norway.

looks..hmm...
Those uniforms would've rotted by now, surely?

Also, there's a couple of Swastikas in the clip...

I've only seen trailers so far. And they've been placed in the Weird War section...

Wasn't sure if it classed as weird war since it's got a modern setting, so I put it here with all the other zombie stuff

Seen it. Liked it. Well thought out.

Surprised how much English has dropped into everyday Norwegian.

Some nice funny bits.

Some gory bits.

No Hollywood ending.

More gaming potential than Lesbian Vampire Killers  lol

It was just OK (imho) the most horrific scene was in the outhouse :o

That's often the case, especially after a nice hot vindaloo  :(

Gotta say this was a bit dissapointing. Pretty good acting and some funny bits, some not bad 'over the top' gore bits. What gets me is when you make a movie sooooooooo close in style, plot and feel to 'Evil Dead' please don't waste dialogue telling me about it. By the end it's almost too much...several scenes are exact...and zombie nazis are cool...but only when they have a point...should have been way better.  :? :-[

Go watch 'Black Sheep' instead...silly horror at it's best(?)  :-* lol o_o

We've seen Black Sheep - thought it was quite a hoot.

I rarely watch gory movies but I made an exception and saw 'Dead Snow' just the other day and thought it was good, fun, camp. Since I, like most Swedes, have little trouble understanding Norwegian the dialogue certainly added a bit.

My favorite scene is when Standartenzombieführer Herzog, 'The Man Without Lower Lip', gargled "Antreten!" and 500 dead Germans came to attention from under the snow. Now *there* is a Preussian for you!
