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.
