Zombie Nazis ruin EVERYTHING!
I think maybe the only thing worse than a Nazi is a zombie Nazi. Like Nazis aren't bad enough, now they gotta eat brains, too? Dead Snow is my second foray (Shock Waves is first) into this sub-genre of zombie movies--or is it the sub-genre of Nazi movies? Anyway, vacationing group of 20-somethings (already, they deserve to die), a cabin in remote Norway, Sweden, Finland--somewhere cold and Nordic, creepiness ensues: blood, entrails, chainsaws, self-amputation, etc. Most awesome! I think that Nazis are the only group that you can openly and safely hate these days without being labelled politically incorrect. Remember when it used to be the Russians (Rocky IV anyone)? Now we have the warm fuzzies for our comrades. But Nazis? Those guys are just total dinks. I predict that they will remain the quintessential Hollywood bad guys well into the next century, unless in the next 100 years, some new and reviled baddies come along. But I really doubt it. Nazis are just too perfectly evil to ever go out of style.
