BigPictureBigSound
The zombie genre refuses to die. Recent films like “Shaun of the Dead” have given zombies new comedic life. Even Jane Austen has had a zombie makeover with the publication of “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”. The latest contribution comes from Norway, with Tommy Wirkola’s “Dead Snow (Død snø)” giving a double-dose of undead: Nazi zombies. In its opening scene, a woman is chased by zombies through a snowy Norwegian wood, accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”. After this promising start, the film decomposes into something more lifeless.
