“Dead Snow 2” is a unique blend of horror and action that follows the grim journey of Martin, a Norwegian who has encountered Nazis and zombies in a chilling twist of events. The narrative opens with a flashback that sets the tone for the gory romp to follow.
A Haunting Flashback
The film begins with Martin recounting the dreadful days that saw him and his friends hiking in the woods, where they stumbled upon a casket filled with World War II gold. Their discovery quickly turns into a nightmare as they are assaulted by a horde of Nazi zombies. In a desperate act to save himself after being bitten, Martin amputates his own arm and flees, abandoning the treasure to its ghastly protectors.
Fast forward to the present, Martin is an amputee grappling with the aftermath of those horrific events. Little does he know, a gold coin from the casket remains in his possession, drawing the attention of the Nazi zombie leader, Herzog. Herzog attacks Martin, leading to a dramatic car chase that culminates in Herzog being struck by an oncoming truck. However, the gory encounter takes a turn when Martin's ordeal begins anew.
Awakening the Dead
In the hospital, Martin is faced with accusations of murder after police discover the mutilated bodies of his friends. The surgeon unwittingly reattaches Herzog's arm, and the dark magic within it soon becomes evident. Martin's arm takes on a life of its own, resulting in chaos as it brutally attacks hospital staff.
As Herzog and his undead army rampage through a small Norwegian town, they wreak havoc and aim to complete their mission from decades earlier—wiping out a village that betrayed the Nazi forces during World War II.
Bobby and the Zombie Combat Squad
During his confinement, Martin encounters Bobby, a young American boy who escapes suspicion due to his belief in the supernatural. Bobby belongs to a group known as the Zombie Combat Squad, a ragtag team of enthusiasts rather than seasoned soldiers. Despite their lack of experience, they arrive in Norway, eager to confront the Nazi threat.
As Martin tries to gather information and control his cursed arm, he faces judgment from the townsfolk, further complicating his quest. He discovers that Herzog is indeed back for revenge, having revived an army of dead tourists to bolster his forces. Martin realizes he might have a way to turn the tide—a plan involving resurrecting the Russian soldiers that cursed Herzog’s original unit.
The Final Confrontation
Tension mounts as both Nazi zombies and Soviet soldiers prepare for battle in Talvik. Armed with the reanimated troops, Martin leads an assault against Herzog’s horde. However, battles are seldom straightforward. The clash reveals the brutal consequences of combat as comrades fall and old vendettas resurface.
It culminates in an intense confrontation where Martin faces Herzog directly. Daniel, using his agility and cunning, finally dispatches Herzog, resulting in the collapse of the remaining Nazi forces.
An Unsettling Resolution
In the aftermath, Martin finds himself somewhat vindicated, having cleared his name, yet the darkness of the events lingers. Driven by a desire to resurrect his lost love, Martin unearths his girlfriend's grave, employing the power of his sinister arm to bring her back. Yet, the film concludes with a haunting cliffhanger as Herzog’s doctor recovers his severed head, setting the stage for more horror to potentially unfold.
“Dead Snow 2” is a harrowing mix of gore, dark humor, and supernatural elements that make it a standout in the horror genre. As Martin’s journey illustrates, sometimes the monsters of our past refuse to stay buried.
