Dead Snow – Red vs. Dead (2014)

Dead Snow – Red vs. Dead: Directed by Tommy Wirkola. With Vegar Hoel, Ørjan Gamst, Martin Starr, Jocelyn DeBoer. Still on the run from a group of Nazi zombies, a man seeks the aid of a group of American zombie enthusiasts, and discovers new techniques for fighting the zombies.

“I must admit I enjoyed the first Død snø/Dead Snow which made a new breed of fast running Nazi zombies see the dark of night, as well as the light of day. Some though said it ruined the whole zombie genre. Now we didnu0026#39;t know how to deal with zombies anymore. Not only could they run, they could even think and speak, and they were of the worst imaginable kind – Nazi zombies. Since then zombies all over the world has learned to run like hell, instead of staggering around.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFive years has gone like hours, and Død snø 2/Dead snow: Red vs. Dead has arisen from the soil of Northern Norway, thanks to mad director Tommy Wirkola. The second outing of Dead Snow is on a way bigger budget, thanks to Wirkola has been picked up by Hollywood. That makes a hell of a lot more zombies!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell what can we expect from the Nazi zombies? Well, they are not your average classic zombies. They are powered in Frankenstein-manner. And so are their opponents. This makes one hell of a ride including a nerdy zombie ghost buster squad from the USA. Yeah, once again the US saves the world!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDead Snow 2 takes off right where the first ended. Our chain saw cutting hero Martin manages to escape the Nazi zombie hell in Øksfjord i Northern Norway by cutting off his own zombie smitten arm. But his flight ends wrong. He drives the car off the road due to him falling asleep due to rotten radio programming when he is exhausted from his zombie killing frenzy just before. The morning after he wakes up in a hospital, where the police suspecting him for killing off his group of medical student friends. But, itu0026#39;s not all bad. They have managed to sew his off-cutten arm on, a proud doctor says. And so the hell breaks loose again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you thought the first was strange and bloody, this is pure zombie splatter like youu0026#39;ve never seen before. Not only Zombies are dangerous here. Our own hero will kill off even children in the most horrific ways. Itu0026#39;s gut wrenching in all the worst ways.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo for the faint hearted: This is nothing for you! But Dead snow 2 is inventive, fulfilling for the zombie cult following, and is disturbing the whole concept of zombie life. After watching this you hardly know what to be prepared for next.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s all made with a solid punch of humor, and especially lovable is a zombie school teacher played by Kristoffer Joner, perhaps the most disgustingly cute zombie youu0026#39;ve ever experienced. But the police chief is also a real bad ass of a hopeless besserwisser, and we could go on.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTommy Wirkola has made what is so far the most outrageous zombie extravaganza ever, and is even managing to putting in a zombie love story here to sweeten the bloody cup of zombie slime. And the references for the film buffs are here as well, mostly homages to quite different genres than the zombie genre itself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s nothing here indicating a third outing of Dead snow, but this will most certainly be a cult hit the same way the first was. The success at Sundance Film Festival shows that, taking big budget splatter to a new level. A zombie classic, deserving a 9/10, only because of the possibility that Tommy Wirkola has another ace up his sleeve for a third outing, making room for improvement. Be prepare for a total eclipse of the zombie heart!”
