the first DEAD SNOW was much better IMO.


this sequel had some fun parts and the gore is great but i just think the first movie was better. it had characters i liked more than part 2 did. most of the characters were UBER-annoying. the only characters i liked were lead Martin and the gay character Glenn. i DO like that Wirkola cast the same actor (Stig Frode Henriksen) to play Glenn from part 2 and Roy from part 1.

not a bad movie by any means but it lacked the charm the first movie had IMO.

They're very different movies really, I found this installment to be a lot funnier then the first. Initially I was a lil annoyed at the zombie squad ppl, but they got a lot better by the end.. Martin has changed dramatically (although who could blame him considering) what a bad ass MF! Martin was pretty boring in the first one. Although I always found that scene where he was holding a pillow over Hanna's face in the first movie to be really weird and hint at some darkness within Martin.. Plus it obviously foreshadows him killing her. In the end, I think I enjoyed part 2 a bit more, but the first is certainly a great movie as well.

Maybe I didn't watch the first in the right frame of mind but I found it lame and cheesy. Dead Snow2 to me was much more entertaining and funny. But to each there own. I might have to go back and watch the first again.

Did you re-watch the first Dead Snow? If so, are your feelings on it the same? Cuz I didn't find it quite as awesome the first time I watched but in follow up viewings I enjoyed it a lot more.

I liked the second one better than the first one.

IMO the 2nd is pretty much better in every conceivable way. Now, if the 1st one had the budget backing, then maybe more could have been realized. The second is better for a reason, the same director got to do the same project but with more $$$. Glad when it can turn out like that.

I agree. I loved the first one so much more. The second one barely held my attention. Yeah, there was alot of gore but it just wasn't as fun.

reply

I liked the second a bit more. Especially with a limited concept like Nazi zombies and being able to take it in a different direction.

reply

It wasn't bad. My biggest complaint was the lack of snow.

Overall, 7/10.

I agree.

The snow is dead

The first is more of a Horror film. This one was funnier, it operates better as a comedy. It has superior production values and leans more into the supernatural. I did miss the snowy cabin setting.

Both are great and it works well as a double bill.
