dead snow - a bunch of nzi zombies stand in the snow

It’s getting harder and harder to reinvigorate the trope of “bunch of young adults headed to a remote cabin where horror ensues”. You could even argue the attempts to subvert the trope is itself a trope. And yet, even though I don’t really love Dead Snow, writer/director Tommy Wirkola’s attempt to play in the sandbox, there’s just enough schlock and weird moments that make the film fun. Tired, but fun. Also I could have sworn I’d seen this movie before, but I think the trailer was so popular at the time it left an impression. Now that’s a trope we need to re-invigorate: when the trailer/concept is better than the actual execution.
