Review of Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead (2014) by Thegodfatherson — 09 Feb 2015
To be honest, I haven't seen the first movie. But boy was, Dead Snow: Red VS Dead a good time. Norwegian Director- Tommy Wirkola, who brought us the kickass, Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters, directs this crazy gory comedy movie about nazis, stolen gold and a cursed arm.
I only knew that Wirkola was directing and it is a gory nazi zombie comedy. This movie was balls out HILARIOUS, I enjoyed every second of it. It is NOT a horror movie, it is a comic, dark, gory film. The story consists of Martin, who has been through hell at a cabin holiday infested with nazi zombies trying to retrive their gold that he and his friends found.
The flashback will explain everything, so no need to watch the original. His story continues as he finds that there was still one more gold piece left to give back, and the zombies are trying to find it and him.
He escapes and throws the coin out of his car window. What follows is the zombies hell bent on killing mankind to bulid their army. The film is EXTREMELY gory and bloody. Entrails, eyes and scalping is shown in full detail.
Do not watch this after lunch. The violence can be compared to Saving Private Ryan, but gorier. This is a brilliant movie, with the actors doing good in their roles. The violence may put some people off, but it is realistic.
The story is cheesy and fun. There is a lesson for history nerds as well! Underneath the gore and violence , you will find a movie that puts a smile on your face, one that doesnt leave even after the credits.
If that is not enough, Gunter's Tralala is played in the movie. Very Norwegian, Mr. Wirkola. It is available on VOD, Netflix and DVD. Afilm, that I am loooking forward to watching again.
