Dead Snow Preview: Chilly Nazi Zombie Action. I dare you to say no.



There you go. The trailer for a good Nazi zombie gorefest that hits U.S. theaters this Friday is out. Its been out, actually, but those silly Europeans hogged the movie all for themselves for 6 months. Not okay, Norway. (ha.)

Anyway, that is the trailer for Dead Snow, a Norwegian horror movie about a group of friends who find out that the snowy wonderland they vacation to is actually a history-filled Nazi death site...and they want their Nazi gold.

Well, apparently it was a huge success and cult hit at Sundance last year. But, current reviews point otherwise, as it stands at an above average but relatively even 56% of the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer. Personally, I'm a huge fan of zombie movies, zombie games, and zombie fiction in general (and zombie non-fiction too! You know, like Lazarus or Joan of Arc!). Also, I enjoy Nazi mythology...if you're Jewish, I apologize whole-heartedly but its true. Naziology (just made that up) is pretty fascinating and interesting. Hitler was a crazy fool, and I pity the fool...

Okay, enough with the corny jokes. Dead Snow looks to be one of those cheesy horror flicks that you'll probably laugh at more than jump from, but it still looks intense and in the vein of maybe a Sam Raimi production. Dead Snow seems like its great fun all around with a funny and ridiculous premise with the execution of a B-movie schlock-and-awe feature. I can't wait to see it so it can ease Mein Kampf in life right now...
Yes, that is the actual poster. Yes, this is a real movie.

...Exactly.
