Dead Snow (aka Dod sno) (2009)

High in the mountains, a group of medical students head to a cabin for a relaxing vacation. It’s not so relaxing when zombie Nazi’s (not to be confused with Nazi zombies – Nazi’s turned in to zombies not zombies turning Nazi) turn up and start slaughtering them.

This Norwegian movie starts of with some jokes about American horror movies before adding its own twist on the zombie genre and playing out well right to the end. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, there is no better villain than Germany’s Nazis (except maybe the Vatican) and it is even better when they are undead. Another quality European horror film (Dog Soldiers, Outpost, etc) putting the Americans to shame.

This just in from Mister J -
Just watched "Dead Snow". Subtitles for the "arty" crowd, and Nazi zombies fighting guys with chainsaws and axes for the less discerning amongst us.
