Ok what do you get when you take a failing ski resort and a toxic waste dump that is on the side of a mountain? Well you get a zombie flick that delivers on many levels just not all levels.
Directed by Dominick Hartl and tells the story of Steve and Josh, a couple of extreme sport snow boarders that are at this ski resort to hopefully sway a contract out of the resort to further they're careers. But after Steve decides to do something, not only extreme but very inappropriate, in front of some of the younger guest they get cut from the selection and so starts our spiral into zombie hell. The guys are also joined by Branka who is Steve's girl friend. They get trapped at the resort because of a snow storm, all while the owners of said resort want to impress a Russian investor, they have somehow used the toxic waist sludge to mix with the snow making machines to make snow that, if I hear right, doesn't melt as fast.
This movie moved kinda fast in the plot department and has, to be honest, been done a thousand times. Now there is a few good qualities that Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies has and its in the kill department. Some of the practical effects are top notch and are worth watching for. I think this Mr. Hartl's first trip in to the horror genre so I can cut him some slack. But as a film maker and seeing there is literally thousands of other zombie movies to get a reference from I cant give him that much. Over all I say if you like zombie movies with a capital B then this movie is right up your ally, if you lean more in the direction of The Walking dead and Dawn of the Dead you might want to stay away. I give Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies a 4 out of 10. As always please watch for yourself.
