An 8.4 rating, huh?
This is astroturfing at its finest. Who knew there were even 25 people involved in this movie?
sharethey even ripped off the evil dead by the sypnosis. cut off his own arm killed his gf and the chaine saw. it feels like ripping the movie off.
shareYou should watch the first one then where it is pretty much stated that they are inspired by Evil Dead.
sharethere is a difference between a rip off and an hommage. Both Død snø & Død snø 2 clearly pays a humoruos respectful nod and a smile to the genre, to Evil dead and also to Bruce Campell. It never claims to be an "original" movie, though it surely is original in its own way. And if I must say, maybe the best to come out of the humor/splatter genre since, well, Evil Dead.
shareIt's called an homage you dithering moron.
sharei am a rabid evil dead fan and this is pretty good.
its no evil dead but its still original and funny in its own right.

As am I. Loved this movie. Even if they 'ripped' off evil dead, I don't see a problem if it's actually good. I haven't had this much fun with a horror movie since the original. Joss Whedon & Sam Raimi watch out!! Btw, check out 'Life After Beth', it's not too bad and reminds me of Dead Alive!
As I see it, 'ripoff' is where you steal from another movie and pretend you didn't. 'Homage' is where you admit you stole it.
Dead Snow was very clearly in the homage category, and Dead Snow 2 was a worthy successor to the kind of movies Peter Jackson used to make before he went mainstream. AFAIR, one of the Dead Snow characters even wore a Braindead T-shirt.
That's right. I was replying to the guy farther up who was saying it's a ripoff. If you look at my posting farther up, I mention it's an 'Homage'. I definitely feel it's Homage, but some people can't tell the difference. Personally, I feel that even if it's a ripoff, if it's done well, then it can stand on it's own. Though generally, things that stand well on their own tip their hat at their inspiration.
shareYou probably meant "blithering."
