    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The Nazi zombies in this film are a combination of typical zombies in popular culture and ancient Norse mythical beings known as draug. A draug is a undead being who would inhabit graves, often the graves of important men, as they often had treasures in them. A draug would protect these treasures as if they were their own.
    • Goofs
      When one of the zombies climbs in a tree one can clearly see that his hand is skin colored and not greenish as it is supposed to be. All the zombies are greenish in skin color.
    • Quotes

      Martin: [talking on his cell phone] Hello, 9-1-1? We've been attacked by what look like German zombies from the Second World War! And we set our cabin on fire by accident!

      [Jerks phone away from ear]

      Martin: *The bitch hung up on me!*

    • Alternate versions

    Eh... I liked 1977's 'SHOCK WAVES' a lot better than this... Blu-ray: Very Good A:8 V:8
    I don't know... Maybe I was expecting a lot more; I'm not sure. But, really with all the TRULY entertaining Zombie movies out there, not to mention some of the GREAT Nazi Zombie movies, eh... this one just left me kinda cold. And, it WASN'T just the snow...

    I mean, 'OUTPOST' (2007) and 'THE BUNKER' (2001), $h|t, even 1986's 'THE SUPERNATURALS' starring Lieutenant Uhura, were WAY, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY the hell better in just about every way that counts; at least to me. Of course I understand that those were meant to be completely serious and this one isn't. Still... It's just that there isn't anything for me personally to 'Grab on' to in this film in order for me to say that I really liked it. Frankly (and I hope you don't mind my calling you that...) I just didn't see what the big deal was. There was a LOT of standing around and breathing heavy; that got kinda old. I don't know; I just think that SOMEHOW it could have honestly been a LOT more clever, genuinely funny, creepier, something... It was just kind of... Nothing...

    There WERE some individual parts that were okay I guess. I liked the cool, kind of laid-back guy who was almost always smiling; some of the parts with him were all right. some of the individual stunts and effects I GUESS were okay. It just all seemed to me anyway to be kind of lazy, by the numbers, nothing really stood out. Not the mood, not the humour, not the Horror, nothing...

    I'm not saying that it was TOTALLY lousy or anything (thus the tepid '5' that I gave it - and, quite honestly, I am not that enthusiastic about giving it that much) But, these days with like a BILLION Zombie movies and about 1/2 BILLION Zombie / Comedies, I just think that there should be SOMETHING that stands out at least a LITTLE as far as the mood, the effects, the Suspense, the acting, especially the writing. Again, SOMETHING...

    I haven't seen the more recent film, 'IRON SKY' about finding Nazis on the moon (don't know if they are Zombies though...) But, I BET I'll like that one better.

    Like I said in my title summary... Even 'SHOCK WAVES', as dated and Cheeeeeezy as it is, surprisingly is a lot more moody and effective, and MUCH easier to immerse yourself into than this so-so offering.

    (Sigh... and I also have 'DEAD SNOW 2' on Blu-ray sitting here waiting for me to watch it. Oh boy... I can hardly wait...)
