Dead Snow is a hilarious, gory and thrilling horror set in the Norwegian mountains with a group of students spending their Easter break fighting Nazi zombies.
Director Tommy Wirkola took the time to give us his top five favourite horror movies here and also took the time to answer some of our questions at the UK premiere at Channel 4’s Frightfest.
An idyllic wood cabin, surrounded by snow in the Norwegian mountains – sounds like the perfect postcard.
Add to that a group of ravaging, recently resurrected Nazi zombies, tearing students’ limbs off, painting the vast landscape a gloriously unsettling red and you’ve got Dead Snow.
Tommy Wirkola is a new name for the horror genre but his audacious, hilarious and blood-splattered Norwegian Nazi zombie movie Dead Snow, shows that this is one director who has done his homework.
If the film isn’t making you laugh, cutting something in half or having intestine pulled out of one of the characters, then its winking at the audience with some reference to some of the best-loved horror masterpieces.
Tommy Wirkola has exclusively talked to us about his top five horror movies of all time, and as a list of definitive titles to watch, it’s hard to argue with. Enjoy…
Nazi zombies are, for some inexplicable reasons, a relatively untapped area in the horror genre – but that’s all about to change.
Dead Snow is premiering at UK Frightfest on August 30th and hitting DVD and Blu-ray on August 31st, and it is one hell of a ride!
Picture the crisp Norwegian snow-capped mountains surrounded by beautiful forests and a cosy log cabin in the middle of it all. It’s a Christmas card image that would take centre place in any Granny’s mantelpiece. Now add to that a splash of red, a dollop of intestine and a scalped bonce to boot and you’ll have the gloriously bloody, hilarious and action-packed Dead Snow.
