Back here, I made a comment about the trailer for "Dead Snow," a Norweigan horror film featuring Nazi Zombies. This weekend, I saw it on Netflix's streaming download at

badnoodles' house.

It was, in a word, awesome.

This is the kind of movie that should make Joe Bob Briggs come out of retirement, just so he can review it. I mean, it starts with Nazi Zombies, which is full of awesome and win to begin with. And then it grabs the horror movie tropes and proceeds to abuse them mercilessly.

Fast Zombies ... Check.
Creepy Dude Who Tells Backstory and Then Gets Killed ... Check.
Expert on Horror Movies Who Gets Killed ... Check.
Couple That Gets Killed After Having Sex ... Check.
Party Gets Split Up and Then Gets Into Serious Trouble... Check.

And then, everything gets lampshaded. The ditz that the monsters always kill? She survives until the very end. The geeky dude that is the endless fount of knowledge? Kills most of the zombies. The annoying comic relief? Survives far beyond you would expect. And the zombies? Naaaaasty, scary smart.

There are references to "Night of the Living Dead" and "Evil Dead." There are moments where you're honestly wondering if this is supposed to be funny or scary. There is a never-seen-before "UR HED GOES SKWISH" kill (Well, I haven't seen one like this before). And there are - and it bears repeating - NAZI ZOMBIES.

Eb Bob Says, Check this motherfucker out. If you like survival horror films at all, you will be mightily entertained.
