Happy Friday the 13th.
Over the past few years, there’s a few snowboarding horror movies have been made. A horror movie with a snowboard theme seems to be a bit of a stretch to me, but the three movies i came across are no Night of the Living Shred style–we’re talking blood, gore, choppin off heads, Friday the 13th shiz.
The first couple movies i came across were made by Norwegian dudes–Dead Snow and Cold Prey. Snowboarding in Norway makes sense–Terje, Andreas Wiig, Daniel Frank, etc. But gore/horror movies outta Norway?? Maybe this has something to do with it.
The last movie i found Shredders, was made by American dudes and filmed at Silver Mountain, Idaho. Compared to the other two, this movie is tame. This movie is so tame that i’d hesitate to call it a horror movie. It’s more like a comedy. There’s so many cheeseball quotes, absurd dialogue, and over the top snowboarding stereo types that this movie is definitely worth watching. The anti snowboarding sentiment in this film is hilarious.
Here are the three videos and their associated trailers.
Dead Snow 2008
A group of medical students go on a ski trip and all get hacked up by Nazi zombies. Hella gorry. More info here: http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/dead-snow-2009
Trailer:
Cold Prey 2006 (aka Fritt Vilt)
A group of snowboarders are out riding extreme terrain, one of em gets hurt, they hunker down in an abandoned hotel for the night. They all get hacked up. Hella gorry. More info here: http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/cold-prey-dvd
Trailer:
Shredder 2003
A group of snowboarders stay at some haunted lodge at a haunted ski area and get hacked up.
Here’s a link to the DVD on Amazon. Buy it. It’s worth the ten bucks. You’ll laugh your ass off.
Watch this–sooo funny.
Been thinking of making a zombie killing movie for that movie contest.. need more participation and special effects experts (need an explosives guy, and makeup person).
Dead Snow looks SICC as FUCC. Nazis charging through those snowy trees is pretty much perfect…
yeah…nazi zombies?! holy sheeit.
im pretty sure that one isn’t out yet. i looked on some trnt sites…noffin. got cold prey though.
you gotta check out Shredder though.
i think i remember reading about one a long time ago that was to be called “red snow” or something… maybe it was shredder… but like early/mid-90s shit? Not sure.
but dood: the gray look of that shit the daytime horror shots are sick…combined with some band of brothers-looking sneaux bakkle? SICCmode!
zombie nazis are pretty much the best enemy of all times…
I dig.
dead snow looks cool.
and while we are on the nazi topic….

YES, Shredder is high-larry-us! I gotta find Cold Prey, too, that looks like some high-quality film. I wonder why it was snubbed by The Academy..?
I can’t get enough of the Dead Snow trailer. “Fortune and glory, kid.” Love it. One thing to remember if you come across zombies in real life: Blades don’t need reloading! Same goes for Nazis, I think.
