dead snow (2009)

AKA Død snø.
"We should have gone to Sunny Beach like I told you!"
It's Easter and seven students meet up at a remote cabin in the mountains owned by a friend, for some skiing. The friend is not there to meet them, but they think nothing of it and are unconcerned until a stranger arrives, with tales about the murky past of the region. He tells them of how during WWII a dreaded SS division occupied the area, before being left for dead in the mountains by the locals when they finally fought back. Due to these events he tells them to be careful as the area is evil. Being cocky students they dismiss his stories as scaremongering. The next morning and with no sign of the friend one leaves to search for her...
A well made and thrilling zombie flick, that references many classics of the genre, and is essentially a zombie Evil Dead, but it does add some of its own original moves, alongside some impressive gore. A classic in the making.
