Info

Steve, a young professional snowboarder, ruins a high-paying photo shoot by playing a silly prank. He, his girlfriend Branka and fellow snowboarder Joschi are left behind on the mountain. They seek shelter in an après-ski tavern that is hosting an all-night party. Things go from bad to worse when a scientific experiment unleashes an epidemic of zombies and mutant wildlife. This is mostly lost on the local drunkards, as they are not always easy to distinguish from zombies themselves. But Steve, Branka and Joschi have to find a way to survive this hellish night.

Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Stevieboy666 I can remember a time when zombie movies were few and far between but now, post Shaun of the Dead, it seems that new ones are appearing on the shelf every week and sadly the bad ones out number the good. So right from the start I didn't have high hopes with this one.. I was proved wrong. The opening scenes of snowboarding in the Alps are impressive & the horror kicks in within the first 5 minutes. And during it's relatively short running time it is well sustained. This film does pack in plenty of action and thankfully the special effects are more physical than CGI. The soundtrack has an 80's feel to it, with John Carpenter's The Thing instantly springing to mind. The characters are quite likeable and I like that it flits between English & German language. The only downside is that this is a comedy but for me the humour didn't always work. Maybe Austrian humour doesn't translate so well to English. One line, something like "what zombie movie are we in?" just made me cringe. Overall the humour is hit and miss but to it's credit the film boats some decent production values, certainly an above average "zomedy/zomcom" (I hate both of those names!).
tdunson513 First of all, the cinematography is beautiful, what an epic location to film a movie. Too bad the plot holes are large enough to drive a snowmobile through. I appreciate the attempt at yet another zombie- comedy, but you cannot sacrifice consistency for humor. How or why certain characters do certain actions becomes a fruitless task since that trait is throughout the movie. Example - Hey, we made it to the bottom of the mountain to get police help, but wait, let's go back up the mountain to play Austrian dance music to slow the zombies down. And when we get there, let's dance in the middle of them as well. Really? And since when did 2 ski poles through the eyes and out the back of the head not kill a zombie?
Nigsley I liked the sound of this zombie film, but having watched it I couldn't help but be very disappointed.To be fair it was well filmed with some impressive shots of the mountains and some gore scenes that made me start to break a smile.Where the main problem lies is the script.This clearly wants to be a funny zombie film but as well as missing out on any real humour someone seems to have forgotten that the best comedy zombie films still have shocks and make you root for the main characters.There was no peril and I didn't have any empathy for the main character so it all felt a little pointless.Whilst this has a short running time I did find myself checking my watch after about half an hour and had my first moment of horror,when I realised there was still 45 minutes to go.Overall a missed chance as snowboarding zombies is a very appealing concept.
Sean Rivera Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies is an exhilarating, fast paced gore-fest that plays with the troupes of a classic genre and elevates them to delightful, satirical bliss. The classic set up all horror fans love are here! The director playfully twists them into an entertaining, high wire act of comedy-horror that real horror film fans will surely appreciate.The film is about a cocky ski star who must step up to do what's right when a zombie outbreak begins in the Austrian Alps (no thanks to a well meaning Austrian scientist) and simultaneously tries to win his strong willed girlfriend back. Director Dominik Hartl wisely takes advantage of his snowy locations with the assistance of his cinematographer, using anamorphic lenses to add gorgeous scope to his setting with care that aspiring cinematographers will surely take copious notes of. The actors have A-game with their willingness to take every situation their characters experience with levity and appreciated focus. This film has some surprising delights that range from classical music appreciating dancing zombies (reminiscent of Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers) to the chic and sleek snowboarding of Steve (Laurie Calvert) that will having you cheering for the heroes and excited for the winter olympics!I thought this was a great addition to my ever expanding film collection. Any REAL fans of cult and retro horror films looking for something new and fresh with incredible visuals, hilarious fast paced action, and of course, hungry Austrian zombies should definitely check this one out. It's killer!
