SummaryThe group of friends had all they would need for a successful Easter vacation; cabin, skis, snowmobile, toboggan, copious amounts of beer and a fertile mix of the sexes. Certainly, none of them had anticipated not returning home alive! However, the Nazi-zombie battalion haunting the mountains surrounding the aptly named Oksfjord had other plans. ... Read More

May have a dull title, but it's lively, idiotic fun, at least until it goes too far past "too far" into the realm of "far too far."

Any horror movie with the moxie to play Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" during a zombie attack can't be all bad.

Watch it! Zombie fans out there will not be disappointed.I thought it was a well thought out combination of horror and action, with a gore in tones of the old style movies. There is plenty of reference to great Zombie films such as Evil Dead, Braindead, among others. It is by far one of the very best zombie movies I've watched.

This is a really good zombie movie.Good acting,great but unoriginal story and a lot of **** movie is never boring and can even be considerate as a "classic".

The concept doesn't go much further than the wardrobe department--that is, until a deliriously over-the-top climax finally rouses the film from its "Evil Dead"-mimicking stupor.

This Norwegian zombie flick is perfect for those who just want a few good jolts and whole lot of gore.

For more than half of this 90-minute film, director Tommy Wirkola plays things pretty straight--a mistake, perhaps, since the first half is pretty boring--but once the Nazi zombies start arriving en masse, he abruptly shifts to an "Evil Dead"–style zaniness, including the sight of a potential victim hanging off the side of a mountain while using a zombie's entrails as rope.

Combining the undead and the Third Reich seems like a novel idea--the peanut butter and jelly of trash culture--but in fact Spanish exploitation legend Jesus Franco already got to it back in 1981 with "Oasis of the Zombies."

This blood-soaked melodrama -- a far cry from most foreign films -- has been a festival favorite and might well develop a cult following, though it's far too gory to reach beyond the core audience.

Based on what we can expect to see en zombie movies in general I liked this one. But this is not a plain horror movie, it's comedy as well.

An enjoyable foreign zombie film that comes with the entire package. Zombie blood, gore, fights, and escapes. Dead Snow was mostly good, but still has some rough edges.

Dead Snow is a zombie horror comedy that, despite some good ideas and some truly funny moments, ultimately falls short, but manages to still be worth at least a rental. The movie manages to be very funny at times and adds one or two jump scare moments at the beginning of the movie, but the movie truly prides itself in it's stomach-churning gore which even made me, someone who's never really been bothered with gore, a little bit queasy. Ultimately the movie fails to deliver any real thrills, and you may want to look elsewhere if you like your Zombie movies serious, but if your just looking for something to satisfy that Zombie movie itch this is worth a watch. It wont get rid of your itch but it will hold you over until you can get your hands on some of the better Zombie movies out there.

Dull action, inconsistent story, filled to the brink with cliché & unrealistic scenes, predictable and overall just filled with moments that you give out big "Sighs". As much as I appreciate the direction they were trying to take this movie with a new zombie type, it wasn't executed correctly and you're left with a mess acted out by amateur teenagers.

Ce navet ne fait pas long feu : on se rend compte en effet très rapidement qu’il s’agit d’un étron sans budget, sans idées, sans scénario… sans aucun talent ni argument en somme ! c’est de la merde de A à Z, complètement à côté de la plaque, pour ne pas dire sévèrement à la masse. Même les jambonneuses (pourtant jolies) exhalent ici l’ennui et la médiocrité (au mieux) et se révèlent (comme l’ensemble de la distribution parmi laquelle on ne trouve que les plus cons des jeunes cons) elles se révèlent, disais-je, aussi nulles que tout le reste de ce navet surgelé. Il ne se passe rien et lorsqu’éventuellement il se passe quelque chose (au moins l’ombre d’un zombi… **** ! et encore…) c’est si mal fait et filmé que c’est comme s’il ne se passait rien… en fait ! une daube donc particulièrement amorphe et insignifiante, tellement insignifiante qu’on ne se donne même pas la peine de la finir, y compris en accéléré à grands coups de télécommande.
