Never steal or take treasure from a Nazi –even by mistake–. And even less so if he’s dead. You already learned that lesson in the first instalment of Dead Snow (2009). I know, you gave back the coins. Well done. But, wait... did you hand them all over? You wouldn’t by any chance have left the odd one lying around the car you escaped in minus an arm? Because the Wehrmacht gang are a bit odd that way, and... Zesty, marvellous, evil, ironic second instalment where the creators take possession of their full mental and cinematic faculties to unleash something like a continuation of WWII zombie style. Now the ones to rise again are the (dead) Red Army soldiers. And a few tourists. Ah, right, this is Dead Snow 2 but you’ll soon realise that it could also be a porn version of Corpse Bride (2005).
