‘Dead Snow 2: Red Vs. Dead’ Trailer: The Nazi Zombies Are Back
Poor Martin. The only survivor of the firstDead Snowdiscovers inDead Snow 2: Red vs. Deadthat his troubles are far from over. You see, the infected arm he had to hack off in the last film has since been replaced by a Nazi zombie arm, and it’s got a mind of its own. Specifically, a mind determined to carry out Hitler’s orders.
Fortunately, he’s got some allies. Martin (Vegar Hoel) is joined this time by a trio of Americans (played byMartin Starr,Jocelyn DeBoer, andIngrid Haas) who call themselves the “Zombie Squad.” Watch theDead Snow 2 Red vs Deadtrailer after the jump.
Tone can be a major issue for horror-comedy B-movies likeDead Snow 2. Go too serious and you waste the ridiculous premise; don’t take things seriously enough and the film sails right past “so bad it’s good” into “just plain bad.” But directorTommy Wirkolais better than most at finding that balance, as he showed with the firstDead SnowandHansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
This film obviously isn’t for everyone, but if you’re the kind of person more enticed than repelled by the phrase “Nazi zombies,” it seems likely to satisfy.Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Deadpremiered at Sundance earlier this year to mostly positive reviews, and is now headed for theatrical release onOctober 10.
They’re not just zombies. They’re Nazi zombies. And there’s a lot of them. On the orders of a rotten Führer, the zombies from Dead Snow return to settle old German scores. In the continuation of the epic splatterfest from 2009, Martin, the sole survivor of the first movie, prove that there’s more badass shit in Northern Norway than even Nazi zombies would be prepared for. The table is set for a massive revenge epic, where blood, guts, brains and throats are not the only things dredged up from the darkness. Old hatred never rots.
