The Wolf of Snow Hollow Reviews

The Wolf of Snow Hollow is another fantastic film from Jim Cummings. Its quirky sense of humor, surprisingly deep family dynamics, mixed with the murder mystery story make for an entertaining and unpredictable horror-comedy.

| Original Score: A+ | Mar 8, 2023

Snow Hollow is willing to name things like “toxic masculinity” and “anger issues” explicitly, but deft and subtle enough to show these abstractions emerging from and intersecting with the werewolf plot naturally.

Jim Cummings’s The Wolf of Snow Hollow is a howling good time.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2022

What's most impressive about The Wolf of Snow Hollow is how many moods and tonal shifts Cummings makes throughout.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 17, 2022

The Wolf of Snow Hollow is delightfully off-center, a feathered fish that thrives on its singular weirdness and originality.

| Jun 5, 2021

The Wolf of Snow Hollow is manic and fast moving, a horror movie that will become more legendary as the story continues to be told.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 29, 2021

... as long as you can look past its rather glaring problems, The Wolf of Snow Hollow is a pretty darn good creature feature ...

| Jan 27, 2021

expertly juggles tones ranging from gory horror to slapstick physical comedy to incisive satire, as the film's conceit that everyone in the town is mad at and distrustful of the cops landed at the perfect moment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 22, 2021

For Cummings to come along and make something this fascinating and this distinct amidst this well-trodden of a genre truly speaks volumes.

| Dec 19, 2020

Overall, this film has a lot going for it, and I really hope that Cummings continues to make horror because ... he's bringing in aspects to the genre which haven't been played around with to this extent before.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 18, 2020

Playing a violent, sexist cop for dark laughs is a questionable venture in 2020 when there's little to no real catharsis, only violence and self-pitying, brooding men.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2020

Cummings has crafted an atmospheric, suspenseful and darkly amusing werewolf murder mystery featuring a transfixing central performance...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2020

For a story about a small town cop buckling under the pressures of being everything to everyone all the time, (it) could have been great instead of good if the filmmaker had learned the very lesson his main character also suffered through.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 16, 2020

The true MVP of The Wolf of Snow Hollow is Jim Cummings' sharp, funny and suspenseful screenplay.

| Original Score: 3.5/5.0 | Nov 13, 2020

This sharp, smart, and consistently entertaining genre mash-up is simply a blast, and easily one of the year's best surprises, as far as indie genre films go.

| Nov 11, 2020

A novel blend of action, comedy, horror, and mystery -- undermined by Cummins' peculiar, off-putting performance and other eccentric choices.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 3, 2020

Though it's still mildly entertaining, getting in a few zingers now and then, it's miles away from reaching Fargo -- its ultimate destination.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 30, 2020

This Halloween, why rewatch An American Werewolf in London (the only great wolfman movie) when you can investigate The Wolf of Snow Hollow, which might now officially be first runner up?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 28, 2020

As in all the best genre films, the characters are well developed and various themes are tackled between the scenes of suspense and violence. [Full review in French]

| Oct 27, 2020

It's got plenty of dark comedy and sweet genuine drama ... while serving up delicious horror tropes for the bloodhounds to sink their teeth into.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 22, 2020
