Best Zombie Nazi Fight Scene In History!

Meredith Woerner — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:30:00 PST

If you weren't excited about Norwegian horror movie Dead Snow, this clip should surely change your mind. See the most intense, insane and amazing Nazi-zombie-fighting scene ever.

I predict that Dead Snow (Død Snø) will sweep over Sundance like an unholy snow storm. If the rest of the fight scenes are like this small clip, then Dead Snow is sure to succeed. Dead Snow takes place during a snowy holiday for a bunch of medical students. Their mountain top debauchery unleashes a clan of undead Nazis, who formerly occupied this winter wonderland. The rest is blood and gore. Please, please release this movie in the U.S. right now, I can wait no longer.

Looking like she stepped out of Back To The Future II, Edit is a Serbian girl who's implanted with a chip to help her study. But soon, she discovers that the chip also gives her super powers. The movie Technotise is actually CG even though it looks hand-drawn, thanks to the designers' painstaking attention to detail. The movie is based on the graphic novel series by Aleksa Gajic (who is also the director) and it comes out in November. Click through for the gorgeous trailer.
