The Wolf of Snow Hollow

‘The Wolf of Snow Hollow' is a gem of a horror movie. Jim Cummings in the lead role (plus serving as director) plus a talented supporting cast deliver an entertaining horror action movie with some tongue in cheek moments.

Cummings is quickly becoming the most consistently accurate chronicler of the current state of American masculinity, both recognizing the inherent ridiculousness and the potential danger it inhabits. At the same time he doesn't revert to easy answers or explanations.

I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes comedy/horror films where the comedy is not the horror parts of the film. The lead actor is hilarious as he loses his mind after every surmounting detail of the case piles up. Throughout the film I was either commiserating with the protagonist, laughing, or tense from some fantastic kill scenes. Overall a great movie to get in the head of an overworked and stressed out small town cop who is buckling under the pressure of his duties in the face of something he knows cannot exist.

Great movie! Dark comedy mixed with a creepy serial killer / werewolf horror. Well done. If you don't appreciate this film you're a clown who doesn't understand real filmmaking.

If you're looking for a spooky werewolf movie, this ain't for you. In fact, you cannot call this a "werewolf movie" at all. It's a comedy. And offers up zero scares. But the lead actor is decent.

It was nice to see Robert Forster again, but his role is slight. In fact many of the characters seem like vapid plot devices in service of a message, or character study, that seems hollow. I saw Thunder Road, and it didn't do a lot for me. The Wolf of Snow Hollow might have been an interesting blend of genres, but none of those ultimately mesh in any satisfying way. The protagonist is essentially the same in both movies, but the point of his study mystifies me. Also, there's a lot that doesn't add up in the film, like the killer and his victims. It's all just seems to be happening for the sake of it. Take the snow boarding instructer, and her death. What was the point of her backstory, or the motive for her murder? If the killer simply hates women, is his percieved transformation then a metaphor for the protagonists inner turmoil? That seems like a stretch to me, since the protagonist is largely immature and annoying, as opposed to someone who poses a likely threat to anyone, other than himself. Yet the film seems to want you to think that, or at least that his mindset is trapped in a dark place of manchild toxic masculinity, maybe??. I don't know. I didn't get it. Also, what tips off the protagonist to the identity of the real killer? It's all so loosely strapped together, that it fails to convince, let alone really involve the viewer. This viewer anyway. It's thankfully short.

A very solid and unique, it's not exactly what you can expect from it. One of the reasons why indie movies does exist

Very unique portrayal of werewolf hunting unlike others in the genre This was a surprisingly really great film about the Sherrif's Department in a small snowy country town presumably on the West Coast. The editing in it was fantastic, as was a lot of the cinematography. The acting really stood out as unique and interesting and propelled the story forward with authenticity and believability unlike many horror movies which rely on the comedic wit of its casts to fill gaps. This movie was really a joy to watch because of the kinds of fast-paced action throughout. It was like drinking a Red Bull and then making it into a movie, with its quick-cuts of action scenes with dramatic and funny portions of narrative. It was original and centered around the investigation of a string of werewolf murders, rather than the stories of the victims. It had twists and turns quite a bit which were layered throughout the film. Robert Forester was fantastic in one of his last roles onscreen. I had a handful of gripes with the writing and acting, but they were pretty minor. I didn't like how the officers' lives felt like on one hand very real and emotionally connected, and then had let downs with the sincerity of their actions sometimes. I also thought the lead who was also the director (Jim Cummings) came across as almost overacting, although he treads a thin line and made it an engaging performance. Overall, a really good show.

One of favorite movies to come out in the last few years. More murder mystery than horror. Truly funny, inspiring, thrilling, and an overall good watch.

The story is great but Jim Cummings’ performance holds the film back. It is like a out of place performance in a dark mystery. Where Cummings’ is pretty much making fun of serious performances. His performance is a spoof in a movie about a killer that is either a werewolf or serial killer. I’m not exactly sure what the point of that was.
