If it sounds silly, it is, but in the best way.

It's a good season for zombies.

| Original Score: B | Oct 9, 2009

Every new zombie movie, however, has to be a little bit different than the one that came before it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be horrifying or much fun.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 25, 2009

It's almost endearing how little Wirkola disguises his thefts from the gore-fests of Raimi, Peter Jackson and George A. Romero.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 25, 2009

Gore hounds will enjoy the comic mayhem and picturesque blood splatter on the virgin snow.

The Norwegian Nazi-zombie movie Dead Snow is quite the jolly mountain holiday, pitting a group of medical students against a battalion of undead, unpleasant and unstoppable German soldiers hellbent on ruining a perfectly good Easter vacation.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 17, 2009

Features multiple beheadings and I think at least half the characters actually see their own intestines. It's not for the faint of heart, but it is often very, very clever.

This splatter film is set in Norway, but rest assured, it sticks with the formula.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 17, 2009

If Mystery Science Theater 3000 had never existed, Dead Snow would have had to invent it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 16, 2009

Those undead baddies, allegedly flash-frozen since World War II, are kind of unique, but they don't make up for the sense of dj vu one feels watching the rest of Wirkola's bloody vacation-from-hell-athon.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2009

Despite some dry humor, this is no-frills horror, from the hacked limbs to the gouged eyes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2009

[Director] Wirkola keeps the narrative taut, wasting not a frame; and he throws in funny moments, one involving a Nazi's icky intestine. Matt Weston's cinematography adds to the twisted charm.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 19, 2009

Chomp-chomp, zip-zip go the Nazi zombies in Dead Snow, a self-consciously outlandish horror flick.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2009

Still, this is a movie about mutant Nazi zombies for gosh sakes, and the fact I'm even spending all this time talking about it is kind of ridiculous in and of itself.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 18, 2009

If you tamp down your expectations there is a storm of scary fun to be had in this Scandinavian splatterfest.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 18, 2009

Once the action broadens to the open snow and the victims start to fight back, the Nazi-zombie premise finally pays off.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 18, 2009

Cheery, silly, splattery, and respectful of its elders, this bloody/cheesy subtitled Scandinavian lark is written and directed
 by Tommy Wirkola, who has a nice touch with severed limbs.

| Original Score: B | Jun 17, 2009

The result piles on relentless thrills and unimaginable horrors, with a shock ending guaranteed to make you scream out loud.
