Geekscape Movie Reviews: ‘Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead’

by Kari Lane

I saw Dead Snow at a Halloween party a few years ago and thought it was pretty awesome! So needless to say, I was excited to hear there was going to be a sequel. Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead is out today in select theaters and on iTunes.

Martin (Vegar Hoel) hasn’t had the best vacation. He accidentally killed his girlfriend with an axe. He cut his own arm off with a chainsaw. And his friends STILL got devoured by a battalion of Nazi Zombies. This morning, he woke up in a hospital bed with a new arm – but it’s a super-powered Zombie arm that wants to kill him, and anything else it can reach. Martin’s PISSED. And with the help of his new Zombie Squad pals (Martin Starr, Jocelyn DeBoer, Ingrid Haas), he’s gonna deliver some payback to Colonel Herzog and his precious Nazi gold – by raising an undead army of his own.

The sequel was filmed in English and Norwegian, while the first one is only in Norwegian (and the Nazi zombies speak in German in both).  Yes, the zombies speak to each other. These films are a bloody a good time! The first film has an Evil Dead vibe with the young people going to a cabin and encountering evil. Dead Snow 2 is even better! There is more blood/gore, crazier zombie fight scenes, the zombie makeup has improved and the overall production level has been stepped up a notch. Often, sequels are not as good as their predecessors but Dead Snow 2 is more like a continuation of the first film because it picks up right where it left off (even though the sequel came out 5 years later).

Dead Snow 2 is over-the-top with mayhem and disgusting humor. Be prepared to laugh, cringe and enjoy the crazy ride. It has an Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness influence (cursed hand and army of the undead). Do not take this film seriously at all. It is refreshing to have zombies that are not mindless creatures craving brains but rather they are the cursed type trying to finish a task. Just in time for the wonderful month of October/Halloween, go see Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead  if you want a kickass zombie movie!

  

Bruce Campbell To Star In ‘Army of Darkness’ Sequel?

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Here’s some groovy news to wrap up your weekend.

There have been plenty of Army of Darkness 2 rumours over the past few years, leaving all of us fans to wonder if (1), the movie would ever happen, and if (2), Bruce Campbell would be involved with the project. It looks as though we now have our answer to both of those questions.

During this weekend’s Wizard World Nashville, Campbell was asked “Are you going to make a sequel to Army of Darkness?”

Campbell replied, stating:

“The last one was twenty-two years ago. I just haven’t been racing to do it. Sam Raimi is just a little bit busy making the biggest movies in Hollywood. I used to be busy. Now I’m not. That’s why I’m here.
 
Ash would have to stop occasionally from chasing some deadite to catch his breath. Maybe we could do that, I guess. That would be exciting. Fight in a walker. That would be alright. Hit them with my cane. Fake them out, have a fake heart attack, distract a zombie. I like it.
 
Alright sir, the answer is yes.”

Of course, nothing is official until it’s official, but hearing this from the franchise star is enough to make us confident that something is in the works. What would you like to see in a sequel? Sound out below!
