Dead Snow is a Norwegian film about a group of vacationing medical students who get attacked by Nazi Zombies. It swims in cliche’ like Scrooge McDuck swims in money, has atrocious make-up and practical effects and never seems sure whether it wants to play it all for laughs or not, but it is awesome, you guys. I mean, you heard me say Nazi Zombies, yes? There is snowmobile violence, chainsaw violence and one character goes crazy on several zombies while dual-wielding a hammer and sickle in what may be the strongest political sentiment expressed in zombie cinema. One character, Vegard, literally pulls a machine gun out of nowhere and uses it to mow down zombies. When another character incredulously asks where he got a machine gun from, Vegard completely ignores him. It’s all fire and death and blood and subtitles and Nazi gold and it is awesome, like I said..
