Wonderful weekend

Yeah, this weekend was rather okay to be honest! The Mr came over on Saturday and left for home this morning. Haven't seen him since the book fair in Gothenburg in end of September. So it was real good to see him again.

That means this weekend was filled with films! We managed to squeeze in Död Snö (Dead Snow), John Carpenter's vampires 1 and 2, and Saw 3D.
Död Snö was real good! Who could believe Nazi zombies in the Norwegian mountains would make a really good movie?

Död Snö
Plot
A gang of eight Norwegian medical students decides to go for a trip to the mountains. The first evening a old man comes around and tells them the story of a Nazi party who occupied a town close by, but the villagers rebelled and the Nazis fled into the mountains. This is the
start of weird things, and when one of their friends don't show up, her boyfriend starts looking for her while the others stays at the cabin and starts the party. When one of the girls goes missing and they find the backpack of the first missing person, they start to get suspicious and this is when they start the battle against the zombies.

Opinion
Död Snö is an entertaining film, made by a small scale Norwegian company, with a relatively low budget. They have many of the classical horror film traits, but they have twisted them together into something new. They have taken any zombie film and mixed it with Wrong Turn, and the result became a real good horror film, even though the plot has a few holes, but as the effect of the zombies was so good, it doesn't really matter.

I would really recommend it, it is not scary scary, but it's really good when wanting a cozy evening with some not to brutal horror films in the autumn, when there is to cold to go outside anyway.




And if you liked this one, Norway has manged to produce yet another really good horror film. Snarveien. The film is following a couple who has been in Sweden buying booze, and can't get back home to Norway, so they take a short cut...
