Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead (2014)

In *Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead* (2014), the gruesome Nazi Zombies are back to finish their mission, and this time, their reign of terror is far more ambitious. Picking up directly after the events of the first film, our hero, Martin, finds himself not only fighting for his life but also grappling with a horrifying predicament that grants him an unexpected, and rather gruesome, advantage. He is not willing to die, and when faced with an overwhelming undead threat, he is forced to gather his own macabre army to give them a final, blood-soaked fight. This sequel ups the ante on gore, slapstick comedy, and sheer, unadulterated zombie mayhem. This film absolutely belongs on a list of the "Best Tommy Wirkola Movies" due to its masterful blend of horror and dark comedy, a signature of Wirkola's filmmaking.
