Die Zombiejäger (2005)

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Zombies over run Gothenburg, Sweden to death metal music. A team of German killers come in to kill them with Euro-techno/industrial swagger music. Fighting generally done to regular metal music, a compromise of the two. Aldo Cunel who has played the Italian assassin Dragonetti in another Jonas Wolcher production appears in this one as the same assassin.The satanic aspect of it was not done well. The make-up was hit and miss and at times looked like what was stuck to the face was peeling off. Apparently head shots are not required and ninja stars work on zombies, which may be nice to know if you are in Sweden during the zombie apocalypse.

I've never heard of a Swedish zombie movie before, so I had to give it a try. Granted; it's low-budget (and zombie flicks should be) and it shows. But it's made based on pure will/with heart/love of the genre, and I give them credit for that. Sure, the director doesen't always seem to know what he's doing, but you can't blame him for trying. The actors are doing the best they can with what they got, but the only one really jumping out is Nick Holmquist, and I'd like to see more of him. The story is interesting, to say the least. The movie is also funny with the story, dialogue and the 80's-feel the everything. let's not forget the soundtrack, which is great almost all the way. I think the Swedes suck in horror and are marvellous in drama, but I think it's time to reconsider my opinions. Keep it up, lads!

First of all I must tell you that this is a low budget film and must be judged as one and not compared with Hollywood "way to much money to handle" mainstream productions. Martin Brisshäll, Nick Holmquist and Christian van Caine acts as a German task force that's called to Gothenburg to take care about a "small zombie problem" caused by poisoned milk. 3 Germans against 150 zombies. The first murder takes place before the starting role list has come to an end and that to the wonderfully aggressive tunes of Dark Funeral - Thus I have spoken. This pretty much sets the standards for this film. Aggressive music and lots of blood and gore. What we see here is not perfection but what this film lacks in perfection it gains in the air of total fun you really feel coming out from creating this film. I haven't felt like this for any low budget films since the mighty Bad taste. I really hope this film gains the same amount of success as Bad taste without Jonas Wolcher (director) losing his mind and start directing King Kong II. More GGH (Gothenburg Gore Horror) to the people !!!!

this movie is truly awful, the director has no artistic ambition what so ever...his idea of a zombie movie would have been discarded even by the Italians in the early 80's. i had the misfortune to meet the director and spend a little time with him during a film festival and watch him make the movie, his "assistant" actually had to direct a couple of scenes because the director was "busy" applying make up to a blonde girl....his attitude towards the other film makers at the festival was really disgusting to watch because Wolcher really thinks he is good at his craft, which he's not...even Uwe Boll is a more competent director take my advise spend your money on something else, this movie sucks and swallows!!!
