But boy was, Dead Snow: Red VS Dead a good time. Norwegian Director- Tommy Wirkola, who brought us the kickass, Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters, directs this crazy gory comedy movie about nazis, stolen gold and a cursed arm. I only knew that Wirkola was directing and it is a gory nazi zombie comedy. This movie was balls out HILARIOUS, I enjoyed every second of it. It is NOT a horror movie, it is a comic, dark, gory film. The story consists of Martin, who has been through hell at a cabin holiday infested with nazi zombies trying to retrive their gold that he and his friends found. The flashback will explain everything, so no need to watch the original. His story continues as he finds that there was still one more gold piece left to give back, and the zombies are trying to find it and him. He escapes and throws the coin out of his car window. What follows is the zombies hell bent on killing mankind to bulid their army. The film is EXTREMELY gory and bloody. Entrails, eyes and scalping is shown in full detail. Do not watch this after lunch. The violence can be compared to Saving Private Ryan, but gorier. This is a brilliant movie, with the actors doing good in their roles. The violence may put some people off, but it is realistic. The story is cheesy and fun. There is a lesson for history nerds as well! Underneath the gore and violence , you will find a movie that puts a smile on your face, one that doesnt leave even after the credits. If that is not enough, Gunter's Tralala is played in the movie. Very Norwegian, Mr. Wirkola. It is available on VOD, Netflix and DVD. Afilm, that I am loooking forward to watching again.… Expand

This time around Dead Snow wears it's absurdity on it's sleeve. The focus is definitely on the humor and gore. The result is a surprisingly enjoyable b-movie. As a result of it's goofiness this definitely isn't a movie for everyone. TheThis time around Dead Snow wears it's absurdity on it's sleeve. The focus is definitely on the humor and gore. The result is a surprisingly enjoyable b-movie. As a result of it's goofiness this definitely isn't a movie for everyone. The stupid humor and gory violence make this a movie that's only going to appeal to a certain audience. An audience that's only interested in having some stupid fun with a very campy movie.

It can be quite funny at times. Although offensive moments are abound. It has no problem killing children and infants in gory and brutal ways. Director Tommy Wirkola tries to pass these moments off as shock humor. Instead they just feel like bad taste.

The rest of the humor consists of gross-out gags and self-aware moments. While it's usually very funny not every joke hits the nail on the head. The gore is excessive maybe, but still entertaining. The effects aren't as impressive as other films, but few of them are as imaginative with their kills.

All in all this is a pretty entertaining movie so long as you enjoy over-the-top, b-movie horror-comedies. There's enough blood, guts, and wit here to make up for most of it's shortcomings (things can move kind of slow). It's just cheesy fun that asks you revel in the camp with it. It's not the best example of how good these types of movies can be, but it's mostly fun nonetheless.… Expand

I was really shocked to see the relatively low reviews for this movie. It is seriously hilarious piece of tongue-in-cheek zombie splatter, which does everything it aims to achieve with brilliance. Come on, who cannot enjoy Soviet and NaziI was really shocked to see the relatively low reviews for this movie. It is seriously hilarious piece of tongue-in-cheek zombie splatter, which does everything it aims to achieve with brilliance. Come on, who cannot enjoy Soviet and Nazi zombie armies go at each other with melee weapons!

Bottom line, if you do not like this movie, there is something seriously wrong with you.… Expand

I love anything that doesn't take itself too seriously, and this movie firmly fits into that category. It's silly and gory while still maintaining a horror movie feel. Some scenes actually made me laugh out loud, while others had me cringingI love anything that doesn't take itself too seriously, and this movie firmly fits into that category. It's silly and gory while still maintaining a horror movie feel. Some scenes actually made me laugh out loud, while others had me cringing as blood splattered everyone and everything on screen. And I always like Martin Starr (especially on Party Down). I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie.

Disclosure: I watched the movie slightly drunk, which probably helped.… Expand

The second installment of most franchises usually fails. This one did not. The story was pretty good and like the first film had me laughing throughout the movie. Although the acting wasn't quite Oscar quality, it was still pretty goodThe second installment of most franchises usually fails. This one did not. The story was pretty good and like the first film had me laughing throughout the movie. Although the acting wasn't quite Oscar quality, it was still pretty good overall. The zombies looked really cool and scary and the killing scenes were also well done and pretty creative at times. I personally liked the story and found the movie was very entertaining. Maybe not as good as the first film, but worth seeing if you liked the original or if you are a zombie movie fan.… Expand
