7/10
Well it's a zombie film.
2 November 2014
-Dead Snow 2 is obviously a sequel to the original Norwegian film where a group of young adults go skiing and accidentally awaken a small army of frozen Nazi zombies. Naturally, one guy survives and this follows him as he needs to raise an army of frozen Russian zombies to fight the frozen Nazi zombies before they wipe out a small town.

-I want to point out that the film does take itself seriously, making it actually one of the better zombie films I have seen. Like the first, both films focus on their zombie elements, which are done well.

-The story is ridiculous, but even more ridiculous is how they drag it out through two films and make it entertaining. The pace is pretty good. AND you actually don't have to see the first, but it helps.

-The acting doesn't matter because zombies.

-The effects were pretty good and the makeup was better than the first.

-It's mostly in Norwegian, so if you don't like reading, this isn't your thing. However, some Americans come in (to promote the film for US audiences no doubt) adding English for about 1/3 of the film.

-Content: So it's a zombie film. It's full of violence and gore and guts. Like ALL zombie films. All REA: zombie films. (Sorry World War Z) It also has some language, but it's not too bad.

-So it's fairly simple. If you like violent zombie films, don't mind reading some, and hate Nazis (jk) than I found the film for you! For the other 98% of my fan-base, I gave it a solid 7/1, but you can skip it.
