Critic Reviews

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    It's a good season for zombies.

  • Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail

    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.

  • Jason Anderson, Toronto Star

    It's almost endearing how little Wirkola disguises his thefts from the gore-fests of Raimi, Peter Jackson and George A. Romero.

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    Gore hounds will enjoy the comic mayhem and picturesque blood splatter on the virgin snow.

  • Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

    The 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.

    A pretty decent low budget Norwegian horror film. Slightly tongue in cheek humour as well, very gory in places. A bit slow to start but the climax towards the end is great from such a little production. A perfect winter horror for zombie, gore fans!

    Nazis zombies? Hell yeah, I saw the poster of this film and I had to see it. When I did, I enjoyed but felt that there was a lot to improve. Dead Snow is enjoyable and is a well thought of idea. But unfortunately Dead Snow ventures in territory previously explored in the classic Nazi… More
