Nazi zombies…again!

To be fair, though, it looks like it might be better than Zombie Lake.

    “Ein, Zwei, Die!”
    Interesting. Ein is German for “one”. Zwei is German for “two”. Okay so far. But Die is German for “the” when used with a feminine noun. You may recall when Sideshow Bob explained that the tattoo on his chest actually meant “The Bart, The”.

    Hmm. it looks like the crappy spoiled rich kids are doing okay against the nazi zombies, who seem fast and functional. If so, I would like to point out that superior numbers of LIVING nazi soldiers would handily kill those kids. Undead ones should presumably have it even easier. This might bug me in the same way that I hate the killing spree in Descent (when a skinny girl beats up and kills something like 6 predator monsters, rendering me totally unafraid of the monsters for the rest of the film.)

    JZ–I don’t have sound on this computer, so I can’t check the clip, but could the person be saying “drei” and just not hitting the “r” very hard?

    Mr. Petersen–I am normally bothered by things like that, but the design of the cave critters made them appear muscular but frail (if that makes any sense), certainly no stronger than an athletic human. They relied on numbers, surprise, their superior senses in darkness and their familiarity with the caves rather than brute force, so I wasn’t too thrown off by them being beaten down in one-on-one fights where their advantages were mostly nullified. (Why they decided to do so is another matter entirely…)
    Plus she’s got the power of sheer desperation driving her on, and later madness as well.
    I dunno.

    As to the original post itself…talk about your damning with faint praise!

  • No, because the words flash across the screen, too. However, this is the trailer for the showing at Sundance; hence the English subtitling.

  • There’s part of me that’s almost glad they’re apparently playing it for laughs, and then there’s the part of me that wishes they’d actually go ahead and make it a real horror movie.

    I’m not sure which one is going to win yet.

    Someone should make a movie were some Nazi zombies run into some communist zombies and have a zombie brawl.

    They’d have to work very hard to make it worse.

    Unlike “Zombie Lake”, this one looks like it actually has a budget.

  • I’m wondering why they say ‘Nazi Zombies.’ I was unaware that there were any other kind. That is good information to know.

  • ZDykstra

    I’m a little confused, at times the tone of the trailer seems almost comedic, yet other times they seem to be shooting for horror. I couldn’t quite tell which it was. You know I think “Ode to Joy” is seen far more in a satirical context today then in a, you know, joyous one

    The ‘Ein, zwei, die!’ is a obvious joke, but so is jzimbert’s comment i guess.

    And the movie is clearly not meant as a serious movie. One can clearly see the Evil Dead inspiration, and one of the guys even have a Braindead-shirt. But i can understand that you are a bit confused, because the subtitles don’t really capture to the humour very well.

    The film’s budget is under 2M$

  • The Rev. D.D.

    Well, having finally watched this, my impressions…

    1. I understand the “Ein Zwei Die” thing now.

    2. It looks like they’re going for an Evil Dead II combination of horror and comedy, although it seems more oriented toward the former.

    3. I am quite interested in seeing this; a trailer hasn’t caught me like this for a genre movie since Sharks in Venice (although Scott Foy said that didn’t live up to its trailer, which is sad.)
