10 Foreign Horror Films That Shame Hollywood
5. Dead Snow
There are tons of horror movies that start with a group on their way to a deserted cabin with no phone signal, but this Norwegian horror comedy is too hip to do things by the numbers.
When a Mysterious Stranger warns our heroes of an evil presence in the mountains where Nazi soldiers froze to death during WWII, the scene is set for a zombie movie unlike any other. Wearing its influences on its sleeve (one character wears a Braindead t-shirt), Dead Snow borrows liberally from The Evil Dead and even recycles the hand-through-the-window gag seen in every 80s Italian zombie movie, but that’s not to say that Tommy Wirkola’s movie is lacking in imagination.
When limbs aren’t being hacked off with chainsaws and characters aren’t swinging to safety on zombie intestines, the film asks important questions like “If a Nazi zombie bites you, and you’re half-Jewish, are you immune? Or should you amputate the limb just in case? If so, what happens if you get bit again?”
Didn't see that in World War Z, did you?
