Spring has Sprong!

Or is it sprang? Sprung? Spring - wait, no. Spryng? Well shit. The weather is getting nicer - fuck it. Here is a pretty picture of flowers and maybe a kitten:

I think I may vomit.

Well anyway, just in time for Spring, here is a movie review. It involves all things spring: medical students on spring break, the Norwegian Alps, snow, zombies, Nazi's, and Nazi-Zombies.

Zombies: oh yes, I do enjoy a good zombie film. Nazis: I am quite the history buff and I do enjoy Hitler and his shenanigans. Wait, these two things together? Nazi-Zombies? HELL YES! This movie was cliche-tastic! This flick embraced them, exploited them, made reference to a few of them, and made it look ultra-gory-licious. Many people are saying this is a clear rip-off of Evil Dead 1 & 2 and apparently there is a WWII video game with Nazi Zombies ... but I say you can never get enough Nazi-Zombies, and when one wants to include them in any aspect of entertainment: DO IT!

The movie itself in dialogue references Evil Dead 1 & 2, and there are some awesome deaths, [with one in particular that is quite Evil Dead-ish,] so this movie is more of an homage to that flick and other films like it. The walking cliche, Erlend (a fat funny guy obsessed with movies - who has sex first ... hint hint,) is even wearing a "Brain Dead" t-shirt!!! Brain Dead aka Dead Alive aka my all time favorite Peter Jackson movie and classic horror comedy shtick flick.

I said 'Dead Alive' - not the band Dead or Alive. Shit.

You spin me right round baby right round! One of my favorite cliche-erific moments was when the few cabin mates left decide to split up. Not only does that mean certain death, but the two that leave the cabin then think about splitting up themselves!! That's double the death! So, if you like your horror movies cliche-tastic-erific, funny, subtitled, gory, and quite snowy, you are in luck sir.

I can't tell you how many times any given character heard a noise far away, said "Hello? Anybody there?" or said the another characters name and then investigated it further. I lost count after the 6th time. Yes, and it had one of my favorite, slightly under-used cliche, the accidental death, or the "whoopsy daisy," as Daniel Day-Lewis might say. PS: one of the actors names is Stig Frode Henriksen. Really. That is his name. By the way, the opening scene of this moofie was fantastic. Or it just could be my love for classical music and chase sequences.
