Dead Snow: DVD Review
Dead Snow
Rating: R16
Released by Madman Entertainment
Dead Snow (or Dod Sno to give it its foreign title) is a Norwegian
delight.
It's the story of eight medical students who head off for a boozy weekend in
a cabin in remote Norway for some snow, fun and sex.
However, their holiday's put on hold when a bunch of dead Nazi zombies attack
- the undead are after some recently uncovered Nazi gold (quite how they'd spend
it is a little beyond me).
To be honest though, Dead Snow isn't supposed to be rocket science - it
simply does what it says on the tin - zombies, c'mon people what more do you
need?
It's also a horror splatterfest which is
quite humorous in plenty of places - it also covers every single horror cliche
in the genre; the gang are a randy bunch - and movie nerds- and the ones who
have sex are the first to be picked off (didn't they see Scream?).
There's a crazy man wandering the land warning of
danger in them thar hills - yes, every single cliche is present and correct but
in a throwback way and an acknowledgement of what's gone before in the genre.
The Nazi zombies themselves are a strange bunch
with their motives only really present at the end - but films like this don't
lend themselves to sustained analysis.
Dead Snow
is tremendous fun, gore-tastic and black humour abound - and even odes to Evil
Dead..can't fault it- check yr brain at the door(well the zombies would only
want to eat it)
