Review of Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead (2014) by Lisa S — 11 Aug 2015
This is an experience similar to that of "Evil Dead 2". The sequel serves up basically the same dish as the first time around, only this time with more eccentricity and a heftier dose of the blood and guts that made the first one so much fun.
Tommy Wirkola is a talented director. I didn't care for "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," but that's not to say that I don't care for him as an artist. This movie rounds up to 75% of his work I've enjoyed, which is more than I can say for some.
Wirkola has a great self-awareness to his work, even in "Hansel & Gretel". You knew what you were getting yourself into, and that's exactly what you got. "Dead Snow 2" is no different. If you go into this movie expecting an Oscar contender, you'll be disappointed. If you go in wanting a movie about people fighting Nazi zombies with guts, laughs and all the trimmings, you'll be overjoyed.
