event International Cinema Frigging Fightful Foreign Flick Fest: Fear(s) Of The Dark And Dead Snow

Depending on how well-disposed you are to zombie movies, you'll either jump with joy at the arrival to these shores of Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola's Dead Snow—Død Snø in its much cooler-looking native tongue—or roll your eyes in despair. Fans of the genre will be delighted at some exceptionally creative (and horridly gory) killings and the way Wirkola ups the ante by the inclusion of Nazi zombies - and you gotta love the tag line “Ein, zwei, die!” But those who are burned out on zombies are more likely to notice the dreadful acting, the too-familiar script, and the would-be clever self-reference. Here, Dead Snow is paired with the eerie French animated shorts anthology Fear(s) Of The Dark for a mini International Cinema horror-fest.
