History YMMV / DeadSnow

* CompleteMonster: In these two [[SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror horror-comedies]], Standartenführer (Oberst) Herzog is a ''literal'' [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Zombie]] who occupied and brutalized a town in Norway. Once the people had enough, they drove Herzog into the snows where he and his soldiers froze to death. After death, Herzog becomes a powerful undead being who kills any who come for the gold he commands. When he manages to leave the mountain in the [[Film/DeadSnowRedVsDead sequel]], Herzog uses his men to slaughter all in their path and raises them as new zombies to fill his undead army. Herzog sets his sights upon the nearby town, intending to destroy it, aiming at completing all the aims of the Third Reich in undeath. Herzog shows through a massive bodycount of men, women and children that death does nothing to diminish the monstrosity of a devoted Nazi.

* WhatAnIdiot: The man who delivers the exposition just flat out tells them about the Nazis and that they should be very careful - which the students scoff at. Perhaps a better plan would have been to say that an unusual number of people had gone missing. [[TooDumbToLive The fact that he then camps out in the selfsame area...]]
** Presumably the above-mentioned emergency call would have gone better if they'd just said they were being attacked by a gang of crazies.

* SpiritualLicensee: This might as well be ''VideoGame/NaziZombies: TheMovie''... in Norwegian.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Herzog. Yes, there are people out there who are attracted to a rotting, animated corpse...who's also a Nazi. Just look him up on ''DeviantArt'' and you'll see his fair share of fan art.

* EvenBetterSequel: The second movie is widely regarded as better than the first simply because it's faster and more of an action comedy with a LOT of violence, even better humour and more likeable characters.

* BlackComedy: The absurd extreme of death, mutilation and horror oddly has the opposite effect from DarknessInducedAudienceApathy. It is a very violent movie, and about 90 percent of that violence is played for laughs.

* BetterThanItSounds: Nazi Zombie Horror sounds like a typical premise of B-movie shlock, but this is surprisingly well written and performed. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot They Gooded a Perfectly Wasted Plot]]?

* CompleteMonster: Herzog, the Nazi official, definitely deserves this trope. In life he tortured and abused the local populace, to such a degree that his cruelty became the grim stuff of legend for the area. As a zombie he's not much better.

* CompleteMonster: Subverted...kinda, while there's no doubt they were when they were just Nazis. Their zombie counterparts on the other hand are more arguable. They keep basic animalistic grunts and roars common with other zombies, however they're also are capable of thought, speech and fight very much like they would've in life, [[spoiler: made all the more clearer by the end.]] [[PoisonOakEpilepticTrees Makes you wonder if other than the obvious]] [[FridgeHorror if anything's changed at all.]]

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The characters call them zombies, but a better description would be ghouls, which are ghosts using their own reanimated (noninfectious) corpses.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The whole pillow thing near the beginning of the movie. It just happens completely out of the blue with no rhyme or reason.
