DEAD SNOW (Dod Sno) (DVD Review) - 19/9/09

After last weekend's Frightfest this time we turn to Norway with the film 'Dead Snow'. Starting off fairly atmospheric with boots crunching on fresh snow and something in the woods, this rapidly goes from chiller down the comedy tube unfortunately. With a nod towards 'The Evil Dead' the usual mis-matched misfits are isolated at a snowbound cabin retreat for an Easter break. Cue the usual running around in trees and tramping through snow as a horde of Nazi Zombies pick them off one-by-one. The usual genre staples are here with a gun rapidly running out of ammo, the chainsaw and the various head-lopping. Add in your bad CGI blood splatters and a couple of admittedly laugh out loud funny bits and there you go.


Nice selection of Special Features with a Making of, a Make-Up & Special FX Featurette plus the Cast & Crew At Sundance and a pile of Trailers. Only problem with this is they seemed to have just left the camera running and there's a lack of information into the actual background of the filmic process.
