I was looking for a good new Zombie movie to watch ( who isn't all the time right?) and i came across the trailer for Dead Snow (Død Snø) a Norwegian Zombie Nazi flick directed by second time director Tommy Wirkola starring a bunch of actors whose name not only escape me but i don't think my computer has the ability to handle the umlauts to spell there names anyway. So i checked it out. THIS MOVIE FUCKING OWNED!!! One of the best zombie flicks I've seen in a couple years. The funny parts translated well in the subtitles and the gore was brilliant and brutal (it can be both apparently). You got your standard horror movie elements but they work here cause its an homage with out being a cover song. With out hitting the spoiler alert these walking dead aren't your typical sort (Brain dead type or the virus type) they have to have some sort of functional brain cause they obey orders and although they do enjoy human entrails its not there objective. They also threw in pop culture references to other flicks and really took advantage of the snowy background and the feeling of being alone in that environment. Do yourself a favor and check it out either in its limited theatrical release or when the DVD comes out pick it up. Definite Buy it for the zombie fan.
