Dead Snow

Nazi Zombies are awesome. Unfortunately they don't appear in Dead Snow, but cursed Nazi ghouls rising from the dead to reclaim their plundered gold is the next best thing, and there's plenty of that.

The basic setting: three young couples, an isolated ski cabin, and a horde of undead Nazi soldiers. Plenty of gore, creative disembowelment, and explosive head shots. The direction is good, the acting is better than average for this type of film, and the pacing is quite good. Plenty of startling moments and cheesy fake-outs.

If you don't like a LOT of blood, don't see this. If you do, it's worth the time.
