Synopsis:

A group of friends in the snowy mountains for a winter excursion discover a chest of gold coins. This Nazi treasure becomes a dangerous item for them to possess as several Nazi zombies have risen from the dead to take it back.

Review:

It does everything it needs to do, which is sell a zombie Nazi movie. It's not terribly expressive and certainly isn't something a serious art collector (or even movie poster collector) would have much interest in, but it might still appeal to quite a few people.

• Trailer: C

Review:

I guess we should have expected something like this sooner or later. The concept of Nazi zombies is far too cheesey to be very entertaining, but I'm sure the film will have plenty of amusing elements. The zombie makeup and overall look of the film are solid, but the concept is rather ludicrous. The next thing you know we'll have a zombie movie about Spanish conquistadors rampaging through Florida looking for the Fountain of Youth or El Dorado or some such.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
