Trivia:
The character of Erlend wears a t-shirt prominently featuring the words "Brain Dead" in English. Erlend's demise at the hands of a zombie is exactly the same as the first zombie kill in the 2007 low-budget American film "Brain Dead" - the zombie gouges the victim's eyes and splits the skull in half.

User Review
Norwegian Nazi-zombies!
Rating: 10/10
I was lucky enough to be invited to see the Norwegian
Nazi-zombie-movie, Død snø , in a private screening in Os International
Film Festivalen in Norway. This film has the best tag line ever: Ein!
Zwei! Die! So my expectations were pretty high on this one!
The director Tommy Wirkola first got famous in Norway with a movie
called Kill Buljo: The Movie, which is a Norwegian parody of Kill Bill.
He now continues in the same comedy/homage/genre field and very
successfully I may add. The movie really is as good as it sounds and on
top of that it is actually unique. I really like Tommy Wirkolas ability
to combine homage with something new and interesting; not a very easy
thing to do folks!
Død snø is basically a teenager-slasher-horror-comedy with
Nazi-zombies. The storyline is pretty basic; it's about these teenagers
that go up to a cabin in the mountains in the middle of winter and get
ambushed by a punch of zombies. Yeah, you know the drill… But this one
really delivers, and all the clichés are used to benefit the film. You
can see a lot of influences from past genre movies and it is filled
with homage towards them. Everyone who likes these kinds of films will
have a blast at the movie theater; I laughed my ass off!
