Fwd: Dead Snow @ The UWM Union Theatre + Zombie Suviavl Guide @ The UWM Union Ballroom

[Dave Monroe]

Saw this yesterday evening, by the way.  Eminently entertaining,
although there was @ least one industry standard trick they missed ...

This reminds me, though: how'd y'all ultimately end up feeling about
Inglourious Basterds [sic]?

Dead Snow * Milwaukee premiere!

(Tommy Wirkola, Norway, in Norweigian w/ Eng st., 91 mins., 35mm, 2008)

A group of teenagers had all they needed for a successful ski
vacation: cabin, skis, snowmobile, toboggan, copious amounts of beer
and a fertile mix of the sexes. Certainly, none of them anticipated
not returning home alive! However, the Nazi-zombie battalion haunting
the mountains had other plans. Wirkola pulls no punches in the carnage
department—heads roll, blood flows, and entrails ooze as the young
vacationers attempt to make it through the night, and he adeptly
utilizes the snow’s eerie and ominous backdrop to its fullest extent
while orchestrating this wickedly gory, yet somehow delightful, tale
of Nazi-zombie terror.

Dead Snow is screened in conjunction with visiting author Max Brooks’
presentation at 7pm in the Union’s Wisconsin Room.
