Dead Snow

Dead Snow (2009) – It’s hard to go too far wrong when you mix Nazis and zombies, but this film manages to; the bulk of the movie isn’t bad, although there’s only so much you can do with young-people-in-a-remote-cabin survival horror (and it’s all been done already); egregiously, it never comes close to getting its serious and absurd moments to play well together, which, by the end of the film, puts it squarely in the realm of bad taste; it also tends to go beyond “homage” to “annoyingly self-referential” at times. 5
