Reviews for Dead Snow
If Mystery Science Theater 3000 had never existed, Dead Snow would have had to invent it.
07/16/09
Top CriticThe film would have benefited immensely had it anchored its high concept to history a bit more strongly.
06/25/09
The result piles on relentless thrills and unimaginable horrors, with a shock ending guaranteed to make you scream out loud.

disinter[s] the kind of gleefully big-and-bloody horror comedy showcased by films like The Evil Dead (1981) and Braindead (1992).
09/07/09
A mindlessly entertaining horror film that starts off slow and dull, but, midway, it turns into a tongue-in-cheek, gory and guilty pleasure that will please avid horror fans. For maximum enjoyment, see it late at night with a large group of friends...
06/19/09
The excessive blood and guts and lack of any true scares results in an absurdly conceived and insanely executed movie.
06/22/09
It felt formulaic from start to finish.
06/22/09
Dead Snow reinvigorates the genre with zombies, gore and humor spilling off the screen in equal measure.
11/12/09
Told in three completely different acts and styles, Dead Snow is like a primer of how the last 30 years of Hollywood horror has redefined the international scary movie landscape.
06/19/09
What 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.
06/18/09
Features multiple beheadings and I think at least half the characters actually see their own intestines. It's not for the faint of heart, but it is often very, very clever.
07/17/09
Dead Snow features a great premise - Nazi zombies! - and literally nothing else for horror hounds to chew on.
06/11/09
how does one ever live up to the promise of Nazi zombies?
06/11/09
Let's call this the gooiest movie of the year (so far).
06/16/09
For 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...
06/12/09
Dead Snow knows exactly what it is... a horror film with Nazi zombies as stars.
06/24/09
DEAD SNOW does everything a splatter-zombie film is supposed to do.
09/05/09
...gorehounds will undoubtedly be willing to overlook the movie's various flaws once the admittedly stellar third act rolls around.
