Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

One of the best zombie comedies of recent years and what I like is not only the implementation of evil Nazi-Zombie-Commandos but the good shot of blood and guts. It is a comedy, yes, but it has enough splatter so even the connoisseur of all horrors and bloodbath in us is not only satisfied but pleased.Død snø directed by Tommy Wirkola (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) belongs into every collection of a serious zombie/walker related stuff addict. Død snø 2 is also a fine one with more production value, but if I would have only the choice to choose one of both movies, I would prefer the first movie.

I have never seen a stupid horror film that would involve Nazi zombies and a lack of humour. I think this is such a rip off from well known horror films like 'The Evil Dead', 'Nightmare on Elm Street', 'Friday the 13th' and frigging 'Shaun of the Dead'. Seriously, this is like a really lazy way to get people liking this movie and trying to get into the box office.I'm more shocked that the sequel has more nominations then this first one because it is just so poorly scripted, poorly casted and poorly everything. I would avoid the sequel at all costs, I just wouldn't go there after watching 20 minutes of this! I'm keeping away from this, such rubbish!

Watching this movie was a true successor to the Evil Dead from the hay day of horror movies. Delightfully campy. Just cheesy enough to be ridiculous without being over the top cheesy. It is difficult to tell if this is what they originally set out to do. This is how you make a low budget horror movie. You make it for what it can be, not what you want it to. Also thanks to this movie I have spent many a night debating are they nazi zombies or zombie nazi, while retaining the worse qualities of both I do feel they are the later. Where this movie seems to be lacking is that it wasn't longer. I will probably be purchasing it on blue ray for additional deleted scenes

I've always loved European horror films, but, for the last several years I've been watching "A LOT" of European horror films because they hold little or nothing back! They openly show grotesque scenes (which amounts to realism), and, creativeness (which amounts to a good story). One without the other is no good for a horror movie because too much gore in a horror film without a story is stupid; and, a great horror story without gore sucks! However, the two of these elements together make a great movie! Scandinavia doesn't come out with nearly as many horror movies as the US, but, when they do, they're monumental...i.e. - "The Seventh Seal" (1957, Sweden); "Nightwatch" (1994, Denmark); "Sauna" (2008, Finland); "Dragon Tattoo Trilogy" (2009, Sweden); "Trollhunter" (2010, Norway); etc.To me, "Dead Snow" is a movie with great effects and a creative story! Although, I don't like slasher films where young people, especially women, are killed by some psychopathic (human) weirdo ("Friday the 13th" and "Halloween")...in this film, they are killed by Nazi-Zombies (monsters) for stealing from their Nazi-Zombie loot. I guess it's a Satanic/Occult thing where everyone is at risk, regardless of whom you are. Then, again, I wonder why these Nazi-Zombies killed Turgåer...he didn't steal anything, and, he wasn't in the group who did!?!? I guess he just got caught-up in the unfair gears of Satanist/Occultist/Nazism and was killed through association!?!? WHATEVER! I find this to be a very good horror movie with a good story and a lot of gore which is somewhat based upon Nazi/Norway World War II fact that a creative storyteller built upon and made.I give this eight stars!
