Reviews for Dead Snow
1 - 19 (sorted by date)
Top CriticEvery 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.
09/25/09
Top CriticIt's almost endearing how little Wirkola disguises his thefts from the gore-fests of Raimi, Peter Jackson and George A. Romero.
09/25/09
Top CriticGore hounds will enjoy the comic mayhem and picturesque blood splatter on the virgin snow.
08/20/09
Top CriticThe Norwegian Nazi-zombie movie Dead Snow is quite the jolly mountain holiday, pitting a group of medical students against a battalion of undead, unpleasant and unstoppable German soldiers hellbent on ruining a perfectly good Easter vacation.
07/17/09
Top CriticThis splatter film is set in Norway, but rest assured, it sticks with the formula.
07/17/09
Top CriticIf Mystery Science Theater 3000 had never existed, Dead Snow would have had to invent it.
07/16/09
Top CriticThose undead baddies, allegedly flash-frozen since World War II, are kind of unique, but they don't make up for the sense of déjà vu one feels watching the rest of Wirkola's bloody vacation-from-hell-athon.
07/01/09
Top CriticThe excessive blood and guts and lack of any true scares results in an absurdly conceived and insanely executed movie.
06/22/09
Top CriticIt felt formulaic from start to finish.
06/22/09
Top CriticDespite some dry humor, this is no-frills horror, from the hacked limbs to the gouged eyes.
06/19/09
Top Critic[Director] Wirkola keeps the narrative taut, wasting not a frame; and he throws in funny moments, one involving a Nazi's icky intestine. Matt Weston's cinematography adds to the twisted charm.
06/19/09
Top CriticChomp-chomp, zip-zip go the Nazi zombies in Dead Snow, a self-consciously outlandish horror flick.
06/19/09
Top CriticIf you're in the mood for splatter, well, any film in which someone avoids a nasty fall by grabbing not a rope but a slowly unwinding intestine is certainly in the mood to deliver it.
06/19/09
Top CriticIf you tamp down your expectations there is a storm of scary fun to be had in this Scandinavian splatterfest.
06/18/09
Top CriticCheery, silly, splattery, and respectful of its elders, this bloody/cheesy subtitled Scandinavian lark is written and directed by Tommy Wirkola, who has a nice touch with severed limbs.
06/17/09
Top CriticThe result piles on relentless thrills and unimaginable horrors, with a shock ending guaranteed to make you scream out loud.
06/17/09
Top CriticLet's call this the gooiest movie of the year (so far).
06/16/09
Top CriticThe superior craftsmanship helps to sustain the film until the horrific violence makes it literally unwatchable.
