A group of medical students go vacationing in the mountains of Norway for Easter holidays and encounter a horrifying presence. A platoon of nazi soldiers fled to these same mountains to escape the advancing Red Army which had swept through the area, liberating it from nazi oppression in the early 1940's. The nazi's somehow became zombies and lurked in the snowy mountains ever since, menacing anyone who strayed into their territory. Led by the evil general Zerzog, the nazi zombies descent upon the campers who have no choice but to fight for their survival against the flesh hungry fascists.
Dead Snow starts out as a fairly standard movie about a bunch of people going to a remote location with no idea what is in store for them. In fact one of the characters even makes a joke to that effect, which is soon made ironic when the characters start to drop like flies. For the first half of the movie, it looks like it may actually be a serious attempt at a scary zombie movie, but it soon descents into an all out orgy of gore and camp. The campers wind up slicing and dicing their way through dozen of nazi zombies who occasionally get lucky and manage to do away with one of them as well.
Dead Snow has its share of jumps towards the start and fills in the rest with enough blood and guts to keep things interesting through to the end. Not the best zombie movie out there, but far from the worst.
