A group of friends have decided to spend Easter break in a cosy little mountain chalet. Skis, snow scooters, festive fun banter, all the ingredients needed for a memorable holiday, until that is, a diehard local tells them the story of a haunting mountain legend. The Nazis buried a treasure in the region during the war and they could well have risen from the dead to reclaim it.
A Norwegian Nazi-zombie film … who besides the dynamite duo of Wirkola and Henriksen could have brought it off, when they decided to pay homage to the generously gory films of early Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson. Be prepared for anything and everything from those northerners, by Odin!
