Rising to the challenge of doing something new(ish) with an overworked sub-genre, this may not be particularly scary or funny. But it belies its modest budget to splatter to knowing effect.
Attack Of The Lederhosen Zombies doesn't quite live up to its eye-catching name, but still offers enough undead snowboarding mayhem worth a horror laugh.

With a name like Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies, you know that you’re settling in for a wacky gore-filled hour and twenty. It did not fail to deliver these genre keystones but I was delightfully surprised by the pure romantic chemistry between Laurie Calvert and Gabriela Marcinková. Be on the lookout for these wonderful up-and-coming artists in future films. This hidden layer beneath the mountains of carnage and jokes reminded me of Shaun of the Dead, where there was a great coming of age story motivating all the action. If you’re searching for something off the beaten path, with some wit, then this is the natural choice.

Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies is what all zombie lovers, like myself, have been waiting for. The director, Dominik Hartl, opted out of CGI and went for a more traditional route with practical effects. The slasher fest depicted zombies getting decapitated by snowboards that proved to be frighteningly realistic. This bloody gory production doesn’t stop there, the film was jam packed with spoofy puns that had me dying of laughter.

Just as daft as it sounds but not half as bad, this Alpine splatter-fest works surprisingly well thanks to the old-school FX, the creative death scenes, and a vein of self-awareness that never gets too smug.
The acting is wooden and the special effects aren’t all that special, but it’s a spirited effort and doesn’t drag during its 78 minutes. You’ll never approach après-ski in the same way again.
It’s not great. It’s not terrible. It’s really not anything.
This movie really has everything: snow-dusted zombie slicing and dicing, quirky teenage romance and tons of punny comedy. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed a “slasher” like this, as I am not usually a huge fan of horror or zombies. The zombie-centric jokes and burlesque humor that the director added were great ways to lighten the mood of the typically morbid genre. And plus, the trailer did a fantastic job of showing me what kind of comedy the movie included, and slapstick antics like zombies dying by snowboarding gear were both hilarious and inventive. The entire movie was true to its trailer and constantly delivered on the laughs. Overall, I thought this movie was perfect for anyone wanting a little bit of edgy thrill with a lot of laughs and fun.

Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies is a fantastic independent film comparable to Warm Bodies or Shaun of the Dead. It follows the misadventures **** of snowboarders when they are left behind in the Austrian Alps during a Zombie Outbreak. Dominik Hartl did a great job directing a zomedy unlike one I’ve ever seen. The Alpine mountains provide a new setting, different than the usual broken-down town, and using snow gear to defeat the undead gives the story an interesting twist. Films seem to be dominated by CGI these days, but this film sticks to such realistic special effects, that I found myself having to look away from the gore. I’m usually more of a fan of Dramas, so this film pleasantly surprised me, I recommend it as your next light watch.

I found Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies to have a refreshing new twist to the uncanny Zombie Apocalypse themed movies. The plot follows 3 spunky snowboarders on their adventure to the Australian Alps as they get caught in the deadly path of a science experiment gone terribly wrong. In all it's guts and glory there is a ridiculous amount of puns that had me dying of laughter. Watching it in good company made it all the better. How can you not be amused by a montage of snowboarders slaying the Lederhosen zombies and the attack of mutant deer. I really enjoyed what the movie had to offer and thought it was well worth the watch.

Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies is like a spiritual successor of “Shaun of the Dead (2004)” and “Dawn of the Dead (1978)”. The comedic horror realm that these films exist in, live through this new zombie flick. In the cold Austrian Alps a group of teens find themselves with a different form of vacation. A zombie horde on the rise causes unfortunate situations to happen surrounded in laughs with Director’s Dominik Hartl’s creativity. They fight for their lives in the most hilarious ways that I found very unsuspecting. For example, my favorite part is when they discover the zombie’s weakness which is something you wouldn’t pick up on and they exercise it. Nowadays, CGI is very much expanded upon but however this film’s use of practical effects was amazing. These effects give you a real feel for the zombies in the film and not something that looks silly - though the plot gives you that obvious carefree tone. I enjoyed it all the way through due to its free flowing quirky humor. It’s definitely the type of movie to watch with your friends with some popcorn around.

A group of fearless snowboarder’s and a daring bartender must take on the multiplication of zombies atop the snowy Austrian Alps. Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies is a fun watch and is the perfect amount of scare. The characters are loveable and relatable. The humor is well arranged and clever. The special effects were outstanding and the action scenes were extremely suspenseful. I wouldn’t hesitate to watch it again.
