Holy shit, 100 movies? Really?! Time for Zombie Nazis then!
A group of young medical students head up to a cabin in the Norwegian mountains for an Easter weekend of beer and fucking about. On the first night, Grandpa Exposition comes up and tells the story of some truly nasty Nazis that were stationed there during the war who took everyones shit and ran in to the hills when the people revolted. They laugh him off, but when they find a box full of gold and valuables the Nazis come a knocking
This movie is trying to be Shaun of the Dead, at least at first. In fact, the director even rips off Ed Wrights quick cut close ups trademark. It’s not Shaun of the Dead. The dialogue in the first half isn’t witty enough, the plot is pretty standard slasher fare and they aren’t technically up against zombies.
In fact if the whole film was like the first half it wouldn’t be all that good. But come the second half it just goes bat shit crazy. Blood, guts and brains fly and it’s actually funnier. It’s like a bigger budget Troma movie with decent special effects.
The second half will probably not be to your liking if you don’t like gore. Because there is a LOT of claret up on the screen. A LOT. And as I said, these aren’t shambling undead braindeads, or even fast ones. The Nazis seem to be intelligent, though they can’t talk, and seem to be relatively mortal. Tough, but there doesn’t seem to be any need to smash the head in.
It’s worth sticking through the first half, not that it’s that bad, if you don’t mind guts though. This is the most batshit insane horror movie I’ve seen in a while. In addition to Troma, it also brought to mind Peter Jackson’s earlier work. Colin wouldn’t be out of place with a belt around his head to keep his brain in here.
I don’t want to say too much as it is quite original in execution and I don’t want to give anything away. But if they make a Dod Sno 2 I’ll be there.
Next up: Downfall. More Nazis!
