Dead Snow Reviews

Dead Snow is ludicrous and often irredeemably stupid, but it is a small, guilty pleasure that takes great advantage of its unique Norwegian setting.

| Jan 24, 2020

Dead Snow is a high-energy splatterfest that provides laughs and shocks in equal measure.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 29, 2019

Despite its dusty origins, Dead Snow feels fresh and fun.

| Oct 28, 2019

It is too bad the zeal so evident in that one scene is not replicated for the rest of the running time.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 9, 2019

It's a movie that doesn't mind standing on the shoulders of giants, so long as it can take a chainsaw to the giant's neck.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 11, 2019

A gore-filled delight, gleefully throwing around horror tropes with abandon. Not one to watch with a hangover while downing a Full English, but that, apart from not going to an isolated cabin with your friends, is my only warning.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 20, 2018

Earns points for enthusiasm, creativity, and a powerful devotion to all things ultra-splattery.

If it sounds silly, it is, but in the best way.

If you just enjoy watching Nazi zombies hunt and be hunted, then Dead Snow is definitely the flick for you.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 10, 2011

... 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.

| Mar 25, 2010

The thread-bare plot mostly serves as a means to get these people in an isolated area so they may be attacked by the undead. While the characters are likable, they are flat--you're given just enough information to care about them.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 26, 2010

You gotta love a movie about Nazi zombies. Well, you don't have to love it, but this one is refreshingly gross. Paul Chambers, CNN.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 10, 2010

Dead Snow reinvigorates the genre with zombies, gore and humor spilling off the screen in equal measure.

| Nov 12, 2009

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 22, 2009

The pre-credits opening - a hilariously self-aware, subversive chase scene scored to "In the Hall of the Mountain King" - stands as an easy comedic high point.

| Original Score: B | Oct 17, 2009

It's a good season for zombies.

| Original Score: B | Oct 9, 2009

We get so used to foreign filmmakers giving us original twists on genres like horror it's disappointing to be reminded that they can be banal and derivative too.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 25, 2009

Every new zombie movie, however, has to be a little bit different than the one that came before it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be horrifying or much fun.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 25, 2009
