Dead Snow, Grade C+
How offensive. Apparently, the makers of this movie felt as though Nazis weren’t bad enough, so they had to go ahead and make the Nazis into zombies. What was the pitch like for this movie? Did the screenwriter go to the studio for a film that featured Nazis as the bad guys but the producers replied: “Nazis? As bad guys? What else have you got?” Then, off the top of his head, the writer said, “Umm…what if I make them zombies?”
This film takes place in a land called “Norway” which is, from what I can tell, one huge glacier. The people there speak what sounds like German if you’re only vaguely familiar with what German sounds like.
The story involves some young people blah blah blah Nazi zombies. The one good thing that this film has going for it is that it’s not taking itself too seriously, and it’s entertaining if you’re watching it with a bunch of friends.
Some of the highlights of the film include an outhouse scene and a guy using a large intestine as a rope. The one scene that really stood out in my mind when I saw this was when a dude gently inserted his penis into a woman’s vagina. Yeah, that was a totally different movie, but one of my friends said that apparently there was a porn on Netflix. We checked it out, and at first it seemed pretty tame with nudity but no actual penetration. We then fast-forwarded it, and you’d better believe there was some full-on ruttin’ going on, but in a classy sort of a way. I don’t remember the name of that movie, but I totally remember those two people doin’ it better than I remember anything from this Nazi zombie film.
