10 Most Paused Zombie Horror Movie Moments
10. Till Death Do Us Part - Dead Snow 2: Red Vs. Dead
The original Dead Snow was a splendid hodgepodge of horror and comedy with a fundamentally likeable premise: a ragtag group of Norwegian students face off against a troupe of supernatural Nazi zombies in wonderfully zany and explicit ways. Understandably, it quickly became a cult classic that demanded a continuation ASAP.
Enter 2014’s Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead, which sees the sole survivor of the previous film, Martin, still fighting and fleeing from his foes with the help of some American zombie hunters. It’s a great bit of fun, and it lovingly adheres to the traditional sequel template of upping the ante in virtually every way.
Nowhere is this more evident than at the end. After Martin and his team defeat the Nazi regime – including returning commander Standartenführer Herzog – and are cleared of potential murder charges, Martin goes to the church where Hanna (his lover who died in the previous picture) is buried. As Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” plays, he resurrects her and then they kiss before having sex in his car.
It’s a brief clip, but undoubtedly one whose ingratiating grossness and absurdity can’t help but mystify, disgust, and amuse onlookers in equal measure.
