Dead Snow

AroView: Pays direct homage to classic Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi films, this Nordic splatter comedy pitches a group of fresh-faced medical students against a hoard of re-animated Nazis in the snowy highlands.

The Nazis, the snow and the accents provide a minor spin on the genre, but all the other conventions of “cabin gothic” are plodded through, beginning with a creepy local with a nasty tale of war crimes. The acting and production is above-average, the script and the special effects less so - one might need a theatre full of yahoos to amplify the “money shots”. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
