OMGz ( Oh my german zombies): Dead Snow review

Okay. Dead snow was the single bast foreign zombie movie I have ever seen. Dead snow might have been the single best foreign film I've ever seen. That was so incredible.

Okay, so, this movie I heard about in Fangoria back in mid 2009. I could not wait. This and Zombieland were like the only two zombie movies I was looking forward before I started this list. And I was right on both counts.

Plot: A group of med students are going on vacation to a cabin, they're going to have like, a ski weekend. The one who owns the cabin is going to meet them there. They get there and are there for about a day when a creepy old guy barges in and demands free coffee. So they give it to him and after declaring how bad it is tells them that back in WWII there were this group of Nazi's that got away from an angry mob that had been mistreated. The evil from those Nazi's had manifested by the cabin and to be careful. Then he leaves. Then it's another hour of Zombie Nazi fun.

There was one character I really like SPOILER: He dies. Then fat one dies. But he is this huge movie nerd and I'll come to why I like him in just a minute.

Now, if you plan on watching this movie and would like to be surprised, then don't read this but for those of you who have no intentions of watching it, I put together a top 5 moments for you, and a few honorable mentions. They go in order they appear in the movie, not in order of how much I like them..

1. As the people are walking up to the cabin they begin to make fun of how many bad horror movies start with a group of students out by themselves in a cabin in the middle of nowhere ( topic brought up by the movie nerd, oh yeah )

2. The homage to the rules from Scream (for those of you that haven't seen it, it's a total classic, a must see, but I'll fill you in. No sex, no drugs, no saying "I'll be back." ) The movie nerd says " I'll be back." And true to the rules of a good horror film, he dies. Also, he has sex, and the girl he did it with also dies.

3. The moment when a character has an epic "throwing the Molotov cocktail at the zombies scene." He misses the window, catches the cabin on fire.

4. One of the med students get's bitten and sews the gaping flesh of his neck back together, without looking. After doing this, he applies duct tape to the wound. That had to hurt. I'm glad we didn't see him have to take that off....

5. The theory that because these zombies happen to be Nazis that if they bite you and you're part Jewish, you can't become one of them because they won't want you.

~Honorable Mentions~

~Where the one girl breaks the port-a-potty and falls right in to a pit of fecal matter.

~ Where a guy stabs a zombie through the head and guts rain down on the guy trapped beneath him

~A guy uses a frozen arm he finds in the snow to defend himself against a zombie. He throws it and upon impact it shatters.

~ A guys get's tied to a tree with his own intestines.

And finally ~ A guys gets bit, realizes it could turn him into a zombie, takes a chainsaw, amputates his own arm, cauterizes it, and takes one step forward to be bitten on the leg from a zombie who comes from the ground, sort of like the shark in jaws, but from the snow instead of water.


Okay, I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.... unless you get sick really, really, really easily. It was epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I give it five brains ( out of five)


See you next time for a movie that probably won't be as good,
Cat.

OMZ!!!!!!! ( oh my zombie )

Cold Snow is available for free on Netflix. I have been dying to see this forever and now I'm going to go watch it. This will be the first zombie Nazi movie that get's crossed off the list. WIsh me luck everybody!!!!

Okay

I did not get to watch a zombie movie today, which is not to say I didn't get any work done on the list. I put every zombie movie netflix has to offer in the queue and I also made an instant queue for my freebies. Soon, after I have done a little more research I'll post list of zombie movies that I need help finding. But in the meantimes, stay tuned for more exciting zombie news.

Revelation

I'm sorry. I realize I haven't posted a new blog in a while. I was doing a little zombie soul searching if you will.

Recently I watched the worst movie of my life and I was willing to do so for this list, I'm sure you remember reading my review for it ( skeleton key 2 ) Then I found out, it wasn't even on my list. At first I was outraged, then devestated, and then I thought about asking my sponsors if I could cross a movie off the list in it's place. Then I thought about just giving up.

So I dug out my very official contract ( a note I wrote with a bic pen on the first oage of my planner and then signed and it said..... " By the end of this year, ( February 1st, 2011 ) I will have watched all 371 zombie movies." I got the number 317 from Abe, who had printed out a list from wikipedia.

Here's the thing, I signed on to watch all the movies from that list, all 371 of them, in order to get the zombie trophy and the zombie movie hunters badge. But by the time I printed out my own copy of the list, there were over 500 movies. I realized that there are even more out there, and that to get my trophy all I needed to do was copy out Abe's list. That would cut off about 200 movies. I was going to ask to borrow that list when I got back into school this monday, I have always been a procrastinator and an under achiever, why do more than I really have to.

So my plan, was going to be to go in and ask for that list, but then I realized something. When I printed out that list, i knew there more movies then what Abe had had. I could see that. But I did it anyway. This isn't about a zombie trophy or a badge, this is about seeing every zombie movie ever made by the end of this year. So, there's a chance I might not make it, I'll be half surprised if I do, there's a chance that by the end of the year, all my sponsors will have forgotten and I won't get a damn thing. But it was never about that to begin with. It's a journey of self discovery and zombies. This is for me. And you, faithful readers. So, I'm going to do all the movies on my list, Abe's list, the short film section, all the gray area zombies and when I find zombie movies that weren't on either list, you'd better be damn sure I'm going to watch them
anyway and write a review on this blog. Because this isn't about rewards, it's about my year among the undead.

So, in conclusion instead of going to winter formal, I stayed home and watched Let's Scare Jessica To Death. And for me, that's more worthy to blog about anyway.

Review: Warriors of Terra

This movie had little to do with zombies. Really it had little to do with anything. It was terrible. I would tell you a little about the plot, but I'm actually kind of confused by it. So instead I'm going to give you extra pictures from it instead Sound like a deal? Here you go.


It's safe to say I don't recommend it.

I was planning on watching a zombie nurse in love today, what with the depressing holiday, I mean, after all, there is only one valentines day in my zombie year. But instead I'm going to do a rewatch. My parents haven't seen zombieland yet and I got it for Valentines day so, I'll try to get a second movie in today though, Zombie nurse in love hasn't come in yet, so I'll probably just do a freebie.

Let you know how it goes though.

Love, ( eat my flesh )

What I would look like as a zombie

Netflix is being slow so in the meantime..... this is what I would look like if I were a zombie. Sorry about the lag time, blame netflix not me.

Kentucky Fried Zombie Blog


Look at this icon I found!!!!!

Well I'm about to watch some zombie movies, I'm thinking like dead gangs or undead or alive. Hang on for pics of the Zombie movie hunter badge. Thought though you would enjoy this icon.

I found a bunch of movies that aren't even on the list, a lot of which I've seen so I'll probably be posting yet another edited list soon. But anyway.....

I also am reading more zombie fiction. It's really affecting my life... a lot.

Anyway.... I'll be back on later with some movie reviews.

Undead,
Cat
