Review of Dead Snow (2009) by Tim D — 03 May 2010
When a group of friends decide to take a holiday in a snowy mountain retreat, they discover that for some of the inhabitants, World War II never ended.
This film from Norway is a great piece of fun that starts off as straight horror and becomes more tongue in cheek as it goes on. Owing a lot of it's style to early efforts by Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi it blends gore, horror and humour incredibly well, and nothing is lost to the viewer watching it subtitled. The zombies are more agile and self-aware than their normal shanmbling counterparts, which adds to their screen presence. The ending was a little abrupt, but the whole movie was very enjoyable, and left this reviewer with a smile on his face.
