While the first film managed to skirt by on the good will of its premise, the follow-up goes bigger and bloodier, while injecting even more humor and absurdity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023

Suffering from a rampage of defiant narrative mistakes often administered in unnecessary sequels, this rehash is laconic, unenthusiastic and inherently routine.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 6, 2019

Where the first movie was limited by its small cast and budget, the second sees literal armies of zombies brutalising each other as fistfights occur on moving tanks.

What comes next is much more unpredictable, but the laughs and gore are consistent and so freaking fun.

Dead Snow 2 is certainly not a perfect film, but it ultimately manages to equal the fun factor of its predecessor - which is by no means an easy task.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 3, 2016

Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead is a film that wants to make you like it, but succeeds only in making you wish you liked it more.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2015

A big batch of energetic silliness made for people who love zombie movies, but don't mind a little comedy mixed in once in a while. OK, a lot of comedy.

| Aug 23, 2015

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead is even more fun than its predecessor, thanks to tight pacing, clever plotting, and an expanded mythology that stays true to its aura.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 9, 2015

Wirkola finds room for at least one good sight gag (a zombie commandant becomes frustrated when he is unable to return a 'Sieg heil!' salute due to his chopped-off right arm) before he succumbs to the hee-haw bloodbath of the battle royale finale.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 24, 2014

Some people will never find a movie containing this quantity of blood and intestines funny. If you are not one of those people, prepare to crack up.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 16, 2014

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead could have been a lazy movie, but writer/director Tommy Wirkola is too keen let his imagination run wild.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Oct 15, 2014

Dementedly enjoyable ...

| Original Score: B | Oct 11, 2014

If you're willing to go along for this farcical ride, you'll find 'Dead Snow 2' to be one terrific zombie movie.

| Oct 10, 2014

As bad-taste splatter comedies go, "Dead Snow 2" is one of the more charitably nutty ones, less about gorging on gore than reveling in how silly the whole genre can be.

| Oct 10, 2014

The makers of "Dead Snow 2" rely heavily on the inherent absurdity of their film's premise, and expect you to do the rest.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 10, 2014

If the movie's hilariously cruel treatment of the halt and the lame upsets you, you can enjoy the crisp cinematography, operatically repulsive effects and frequently witty dialogue.

| Oct 9, 2014

Dead Snow 2 has its share of fun, goofy, gory moments...Half the budget must have gone for fake intestines.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2014

Unabashed homage to Evil Dead 2 and movies like it. Sounds pretty awesome to me.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2014

A ruthless and hilarious follow-up...a riotous extravaganza that's incredibly fun to watch unfold. Or perhaps explode is more apt description.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 9, 2014

This grudge match plays like a generic zombie free-for-all, though Wirkola now has the money to shift from a chintzy Evil Dead homage to an elaborate Dead Alive homage.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 9, 2014
