And Zombies too

So this weekend was decent. The trip went well, kids had fun playing with their cousins and grandma. The wife got to spend time with her family and I had some great food. I have never been much of a baseball guy but the brewers are doing well so far. Hopefully they haven't peaked too soon.
Ended the weekend by watching a zombie movie. Dead Snow.
A Norwegian Nazi Zombie movie. It was alot better than I though it would be. The movie also pays homage to the zombie movies before it. You have 6 friends that look to spend a holiday at a remote cabin in the mountains. Little did they know that there was a platoon of Zombie Nazi's that haunt the woods and they don't like trespassers.
The Characters are just your standard college kids though they did make them all medical students which is a bit of a twist. Also a twist was that one of them was afraid of blood ironic for both the fact he's a medical student and cause he's in a Zombie movie.
The director does well to make you care about the characters at least enough to where you would not want to see them dead. There are a number make you jump moments. There is plenty of gore. The story of the film is actually well played out and its not long before your realize its not just a gimmick movie. They put some thought behind it. Those who have seen zombie films will catch the honor they pay to movies such as Night of the living dead and yes Evil Dead 2.
Once again it is proven that foreign films are becoming more and more competition for the US cinema for the quality of film produced. Once again we have running zombies but it fits the film and I have grown use to them at this point.
Now with Dead Snow you do have to deal with subtitles but they do not remove you from the experience at all.
I am happily surprised at the movie and definitely recomend it for all zombie and horror movie fans alike.
It is on my to buy list for sure.
