“A storm of scary fun to be had in this Scandinavian splatterfest!” - Rolling Stone

Synopsis

The only thing nastier than zombies are Nazi-zombies – the terrors of Tommy Wirkola’s DEAD SNOW. This Norwegian splatter comedy sees partiers travel to a secluded mountain cabin in the middle of winter. Their boozing, sex and snowmobiling are interrupted when a disturbed local appears at the door and tells of a legend about a group of Nazi soldiers who, during WWII, were driven into the Norwegian Alps – along with a fortune in stolen loot – to die. The valuables are hidden beneath the cabin and the rotten Reich has returned to claim them. What ensues is an EVIL DEAD-influenced gore-fest of flying limbs, blood-soaked snow, self-amputation, a literal cliff-hanger involving zombie intestines and enough grue-drenched weaponry to make gorehounds weep with joy.
