I was waiting for this movie when i saw the first one and my wait was not wasted. This is the best zombie movie in last few years. I've seen countless zombie films but this one is going to stay in my mind for very long. When you started thinking that things couldn't get much worse that was actually the beginning of the hell happened in this part. This is a blast from beginning to end. The cast is very well chosen, each one is different and you really care for the characters. The main actor does a excellent job as he is better, funnier and interesting than he was ever. If you thought the first one was good, wait till you see this. Please don't try to find out too much about the movie just go and watch it. I bet if you like the first one than this is tailor made for you. I am rating a "Død Snø 2" a solid and well-deserved 10 out of 10 stars. If you ever love zombie movie you gonna like this one. I also recommend it even to people who aren't into zombie flicks because you are one step away becoming one. Don't waste time reading many reviews just go and watch.

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead-480P

The original Dead Snow movie was actually not that bad. It was quite okay within its somewhat confined genre. Dead Snow 2 however is a major disappointment. It abandoned all pretense of actually being a real horror movie and wandered into the land of pure comedy…and failed miserably. This movie is like Bad Taste but on a higher budget (and regardless of what the fans want to pretend Bad Taste is a piece of s..t movie). The movie does have a plot that makes sense, again for this kind of movie, that has to be said but that lone does not make a good movie. There are literally NO really scary moments at all in this movie. The movie has plenty of gory stuff. Actually the gore is pretty much thrown at the viewer from the first scene to the last. Unfortunately much of it is so ludicrous that it is embarrassing. To add to the embarrassment a bunch of absolutely nonsensical characters are thrown into the mix. The so called Zombie Squad is just pathetic. The Norwegian police office makes me squirm in my seat. The puking pet zombie makes me want to throw up my supper. This movie is nothing but brain-dead people (and I am not talking only about the zombies here) and tasteless effects stacked onto each other. The only reason it does not get a single star is that there was one or two laughs in there and because some of the ludicrously overdone gory effects was not too bad from a technical point of view. As I wrote it was a major disappointment. This movie can only appeal to the die hard fans of the genre or, with its frequent puking scenes, bad jokes and senseless gore to people who … well I will not go there actually.

I have to say I was really disappointed with this sequel. I loved the first movie, it was just such a good laugh - the right amount of gore, right amount of silly and right amount of fun. I felt like there was way too much effort to put some 'back story' or detail behind the zombies in the sequel, which just felt ridiculously over the top (and not in a good way) and kinda stupid. I think the reason this film is not as brilliant as the first one is because of the American influence. The three Americans in the film are unbelievably irritating and unfunny. There were a few quite cool bits in the film - mainly some of the more gory scenes...but other than that I did not enjoy the sequel at all. Shame.

I'm a big fan of the first movie and have watched it several times now. I felt that it was better than most zombie films that have come out in recent years. While the nazi zombie sub-genre was by no means trailblazing, it's also not something that's been trampled to death before and the zombies were much better looking than some "classics" of the genre like SHOCK WAVES. The fact that Wirkola was directing to return, also, signified to me that this should be just as good as the original. Wirkola goes straight for the tried-and-true horror sequel template of giving us the same recipe that we liked the first time, but giving us more of everything with it. More zombies, more effects, more humor, more action. I found that it didn't work as well, for me. The first movie followed a very typical format of the kids in a cabin in the woods and allowed for the terror to slowly increase. The movie eventually developed into a smogasbord of gore, but that action felt balanced out by the creation of fear developed at the beginning. Here, the movie erupts right away in mayhem. I get that it's a direct sequel and we don't need the backstory again, but it creates a much different feeling movie and I prefer the slow tension of the first. In the family tree of zombie films, DEAD SNOW definitely descended from Raimi and EVIL DEAD, with the splat-stick violence and corny humor, but the sequel goes even further into that territory. There are zombie comedies I love, but the sense of humor here is more akin to DEAD ALIVE and sometimes felt like Monty Python and the Zany Zombies. Humor is very subjective and this just isn't my cup of tea. That extended to the trio of zombie hunting geeks who felt crammed in to help secure an American audience. While I have watched the first film numerous times, I actually lost interest in this altogether about half way through and shut it off, forcing myself to finish it the next day.

I like the concept, it's somehow unique and no other film have ever use this kind of zombie style. And for the zombie arm, that's quite interesting. But what crashes everything up is the bad ending. What the hell? Having sex with zombie? jeez.. that's the creepiest thing ever.. Back to the real expectation. First, after I see the graveyard, okay, he will summon all of his family members that already died, but it turns out to be the only the girlfriend being waken up. And then the other thing, the police is just like side actor, which actually should also come up to the ending. The police should at least show up in the ending where finally they will know the all reason why everything has happened and will consider that Martin is not the criminal. The police just act like intermezzo to the film which is very disappointing. The other thing is, those are the Nazi army, and why do they speak Norway to their own kind. Doesn't it sounds really not real? Well, for the guts, damn, that's too violent I guess. Just if I have no enough guts to watch this, perhaps I would have been throwing up already. In conclusion, I was expecting something better for the ending.

Everything in zombie movies has been done to death (see what I did there?). And yet, here comes a movie that actually adds to the genre whilst simultaneously disgusting me and making me belly laugh. And not one of those infectious belly laughs. You know, when you are in a theatre and something mildly amusing on-screen sends a ripple through the crowd which grows; mostly because the girl down the front has a weird cackling laugh that morphs into a full-on snort fest, and that just sets everyone else off. Yeah, well, it's not like that. I was on my own. And I laughed out loud multiple times. I genuinely LOLed. That's as rare as rocking horse faeces. Dead Snow 1 was a revelation; a brilliant twist on the genre. Dead Snow 2 adds again. The comedy elements are ratcheted up as is the budget. A budget wisely spent on special effects and sheer scale. If you are after genuine chills and insights into the human condition, Dead Snow 2 will leave you cold (see what I did there too?). But if your appetite runs to comedic gore in the vein of Peter Jackson's 'Brain Dead', you will love this one.

I personally thought the first one was better. This one tried and I appreciate the effort that is put into this. But it just felt way too drawn out and the over the top moments seemed more silly than it actually being cool. There is no suspense or anything all that cool really, even if it has over the top blood and gore scenes. While the zombies were actually kind of intimidating and creepy in the first one it, just isn't the case here. I thought some ideas that are dumb and clever at the same time sort of worked, even if it doesn't make much sense if you think about it. Yeah, they created a new genre of zombies, but that doesn't make it particularly good or anything. So the zombies knows how to talk, communicate, fist fight, use weapons and be able to run. And the head of the zombie pack can resurrect the dead, without much explanation. The first "Dead Snow" was a survival movie...Well sort of. This one is a zombie brawl, it's somewhat entertaining for a while but it loses it's flavor quickly. I give this flick a 6.3/10 because of the effort, even if some parts of it seemed quite pointless. 6.3/10
