Død Snø aka Dead Snow (2009)

The first thing you notice about the film "Dead Snow" is that its in Norwegian and you have to read subtitles to know what's being said; if you hate subtitles, do give up because this is a great film. The second thing you notice is that the writer is a huge fan of 1980's horror films; why else would the film geek be quoting classic lines in English? The third thing you notice is that the film starts off with a serious tone when the horror begins but by the end the movie feels a lot like "Dead Alive". It's an intense, comical, and relentless film about nazi zombies who want their stolen gold back!

What's great about this movie are all of the different ways that the zombies are killed off; gunned down by machine guns, blown up by hand grenades, axed apart, and so forth. And these aren't you stumbling dumb zombies, these are fully trained nazi soldiers that just happen to be dead. And numerous, as in uncountable. Once you think they're all dead, more crawl up from the frozen mountain side. 

I highly recommend this film and it can often be found on Netflix.
