Review of Dead Snow (2009) by Michael S — 02 Apr 2011

A pleasant and fast paced zombie films with a couple of differences from the norm in the genre.

First of all, the zombies are Nazis. Secondly, these are your run of the mill dumb, unthinking zombies. They actually think- capable of realizing that their prey is up a tree... and decide to climb up after them. Their commanding officer especially gives an aura of thought, and calculation as it forumlates a plan on how best to pull your spleen from you.

The dark humour is reminiscent of Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead", while the gore is right out of George A. Romero's Zombie Guidebook. The two are blended beautifully to create a fun zombie filled ride.
