Ein! Zwei! Die!

Gott im Himmel!

When does this open, and how many times am I legally allowed to watch it?

There are as many zombie films out there these days as there are trucks in Alberta, but not all the films are decent or even watchable, just like not all drivers in this province are law-biding non-assholes. And there are plenty of homages, films dedicated to reliving or re-imagining the genre, a genre originate by the legendary George Romero. However, for every "Shaun of the Dead", there's a "Zombie Vegetarians".

And now here's a Norwegian entry into the zombie-homage-comedy, or zomhomcom pantheon. Død snø, or Dead Snow, directed by Tommy Wirkola, certainly has the blueprint for any zombie film: doomed teenagers, some old person predicting inherent danger, blood and guts, and of course, zombies (either of the slow or quick kind). Could be the recipe for just another shitty film, except for one difference:

Fucking Nazis! Zombie Nazis! Yes! Now we're kicking it into high gear.

I assume that this kind of film serves as more than just a movie for the Norwegian people, since they were invaded and occupied by the Germans during World War II. This film could act as a little redemption, because there's nothing more satisfying then resurrecting your hated one-time enemy and defeating him, zombie-killing style. No remorse, no regret. Just kill. Even if it is just in film.

Here's the trailer. Enjoy!
