My Amazon DVD Reviews: Dead Snow

Let it snow, let it snow...
3 Out of 5 Stars

Oh the zombies outside are frightful in this well done slasher horror film from Sweden. Standard slasher rules apply: group of 20 something students go to remote cabin, creepy local tells them about a horrible moment in the history of the place, and before you know it, it's undead bingo hour! There's Nazis! Zombies! Nazi Zombies! Spewing intestines! A brain on the floor! And MORE zombie Nazis!

How the Nazis became zombies is never related to you, but who cares? You've got terrified screaming students racing through the snow as jackbooted corpses chase them! You have a menacing Commandant who looks like he still gets to the Undead-Gym three nights a week! You get an outrageous two-on-thousands men vs zombie battle, complete with chainsaw! Swedish heavy metal for the soundtrack! And a killer snowmobile! All in 90 minutes.

Really, what is not to love here? Dead Snow is bloody, trashy, George Romero inspired B-movie fun, even if you can predict what's coming from a mile away.

Spotted today at the local acme; and no, I did not set this up.
