"Dead Snow"....A Review

I just watched the Norwegian Nazi-Zombie film: "DEAD SNOW". Mmmm...Nazi's AND Zombie's...Two great tastes that taste great together. First off...I was slightly disappointed. The trailer really makes this look like a "kick butt" Nazi-Zombie pic. Its not that. Is it worth your time? Yes. If you love zombies (as all good red blooded Americans should) you will have a good time. Nothing truly original here...but it is a beautifully photographed picture marred only occasionally by some horrendous and out of place green screen work. Choppy editing and pacing problems add to the negative aspects...and the special effects guys really need help getting some quality movie blood...other that that, once it gets going its not a bad time for Nazi-Zombie lovers. The Zombie make-ups and uniforms are really cool, and they display some original personality in their brief screen time. The "young people" in distress are typical movie cliche types with some cute nods to "Evil Dead" and other classic films. A few novel "kills" and intestine humor (you really need to hold on to your intestines when running through the Norweigian woods) add to the fun. The most "horrifying" scene in the film involves one of the "horny" young couples and an outhouse...without a zombie in sight. Overall a good addition to the zombie film canon...although someday....someone will get this Nazi-Zombie deal....JUST RIGHT. ***
