Dead Snow

 

aka: Død Snø
Norway 2009, 90 minutes
Dir. Tommy Wirkola
In Norwegian with English subtitles
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Horror / Splatter, Walking Dead

 

Aroview: Nordic splatter comedy pitches a group of fresh-faced medical students against a hoard of re-animated Nazis in the snowy highlands.

The Nazis, the snow and the accents provide a minor spin on the genre, but all the other conventions of "cabin gothic" are plodded through, beginning with a creepy local with a nasty tale of war crimes. The acting and production is above-average, the script and the special effects less so - one might need a theatre full of yahoos to amplify the "money shots" and forgive the vacuum of logic that inhabits almost every frame.
