Dead Snow

Leave your brain behind and enjoy some dark Nordic comedy

Having been introduced to classic zombie horror at a very young age, with films like The Church and other old school European horror productions, Dead Snow was a surprisingly welcome addition to the genre when it first came out.

It captures much of what made those older zombie movies so enjoyable: gruesome practical effects, outrageous violence, dark humor, and absolutely no intention of taking itself too seriously.

Sure, the snowy Norwegian setting isn’t exactly my ideal backdrop for a zombie film, and the story doesn’t reinvent the genre. But there’s something undeniably charming about its unapologetic approach to old school horror.

It’s bloody, ridiculous, and occasionally completely over the top. And that’s precisely why it works.

Not a masterpiece by any means, but a genuinely entertaining throwback to the kind of zombie cinema I grew up loving. It certainly could have been a lot worse.

I LOVE this movie so much! I could watch a whole movie series on this film but out of the two, I definitely like this movie more.

Good ass movie and great as a zombie movie
