Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 6.0 out of 10 from audiences and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and horror fans. If you loved The Evil Dead or Grindhouse, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 28 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Norwegian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

Eight medical students on a ski trip to Norway discover that Hitler's horrors live on when they come face to face with a battalion of zombie Nazi soldiers intent on devouring anyone unfortunate enough to wander into the remote mountains where they were once sent to die.
