Will I watch it again? Duh! Nazi zombies, man!


Great tagline, eh? There's nothing you need to know about this film except for Nazi zombies. That's all I needed. What's this? It's Norwegian? Stop! There's snow? Stop! I don't need any more reasons! There's nudity and tons of gore, blood, decapitations, dark comedy? Alright, alright already. I'll watch it.


That's pretty much how that went. I first caught this in October '09. I showed it outdoors on a big screen to a group of unsuspecting friends. Goddamn did we have fun. So much fun that when another friend visited from out of town a couple of weeks later, this is what we watched and it was just as good the second time in two weeks. It's that much of a ride.


This is one of those horror flicks that mixes humor and gore and it walks that fine line without stumbling. It's funny where it needs to be and it doesn't step on the toes of the scary, more serious bits. Stop reading this and go watch it. It's a real hoot and the last shot before the credits will leave you screaming for more. What else could you ask for? Oh, yeah, more movies with Nazi zombies.
