Dead Snow (2009). This was a fine example of how to take movie homages from classic B-movie flicks and from them make a fun and top-notch horror flick. The story was simple enough, with all the regular suspects for a horror flick. But somehow the clichés add to how the story unfolds. Yes, our players do stupid things, but stupidity is just more fun in Norway. At times a rather mean movie, the comedy spans from cheap to very dark. The gore should keep the blood and gut fans entertained, in fact this one was entertaining in all regards. While not getting bogged down in a gratuitous ballet of special effects, it was by no means a low budget affair. Directed with competence, the timing was impeccable. And while cheap scare tactics are used to get this one rolling, they are more of a catalyst for greater things to come. A bloody good time indeed. Ein! Zwei! Die!
