Leave your thoughts about Dead Snow.
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordIt is...homage to the genre and, especially, Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movies. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyFor young, gore-hungry audiences who haven't seen "The Evil Dead" (one and two), Dead Snow could work as a stomach-churning thrill ride, but for more experienced viewers, you're much better off sticking with a master of the genre like Sam Raimi... |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfWhat should've been a rollicking, kick-the-air horror bonanza is instead reduced to a weirdly fruitless genre romp that looks to amuse and frighten, but only achieves a baffling, slightly mean-spirited tone. |
| Seanax.comSean Axmaker... this is terrific, a dryly hilarious horror comedy with a macabre sense of splatter humor a la Evil Dead 2... but minus the self-conscious wisecracking of the genre. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullhow does one ever live up to the promise of Nazi zombies? |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumCheery, silly, splattery, and respectful of its elders (and betters, particularly Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead"). |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsMay have a dull title, but it's lively, idiotic fun, at least until it goes too far past "too far" into the realm of "far too far." |
| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierHematophagous audiences dissatisfied with Drag Me to Hell could do worse for a double feature than Dead Snow, a Norwegian love letter to American camp-horror. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe film would have benefited immensely had it anchored its high concept to history a bit more strongly. |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoDead Snow reinvigorates the genre with zombies, gore and humor spilling off the screen in equal measure. |
