(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1   2/4 "For Dead Snow to render Nazi zombies boring is to fail in a way only future historians may be able to understand."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari "disinter[s] the kind of gleefully big-and-bloody horror comedy showcased by films like The Evil Dead (1981) and Braindead (1992)."   Little White Lies   Anton Bitel 3.5/5 "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."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron C- "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."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 2.5/5 "how does one ever live up to the promise of Nazi zombies?"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null C "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..."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Dead Snow knows exactly what it is... a horror film with Nazi zombies as stars."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "...gorehounds will undoubtedly be willing to overlook the movie's various flaws once the admittedly stellar third act rolls around."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "Far from Scandinavian Lutheran deep seriousness, this is all homage to a generally shallow genre and fun for those who cotton to that sort of thing."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 2/4 "Norwegian zombie film is pretty standard, by-the-numbers fare, so generic it might as well have been shot by a soulless Hollywood studio."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C+ "Once you get past the relative novelty of it (they're ZOMBIES, but they're also NAZIS!!), Dead Snow is only so-so."   Cinematical   Eric D. Snider B "The film would have benefited immensely had it anchored its high concept to history a bit more strongly."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 6/10 "DEAD SNOW is done with sufficient style to keep it interesting, but a little originality would have gone a long way."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 4/5 "There's a Grand Guignol level of excess in the latter stages of Dead Snow, wherein Wirkola simply cuts loose and plays a game of "how can I top this?" with each new scene."   The Horror Geek   Mike Bracken B- "Unevenly replicates Sam Raimi's whirligig blend of terror and comedy."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager B "The pre-credits opening - a hilariously self-aware, subversive chase scene scored to "In the Hall of the Mountain King" - stands as an easy comedic high point."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick C "Dead Snow ultimately settles for run-of-the-mill scares... adequate for zombie fans, but nothing like the marvelous things it might have shown us."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux B- "It is...homage to the genre and, especially, Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movies."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "Although not exactly all that scary, Dead Snow earns big points for enthusiasm, creativity, and a powerful devotion to all things ultra-splattery."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg ""Zombie Nazis" sounds like an unbeatable combination, but it turns out to be one of those great ideas that cannot sustain itself purely on the concept alone..."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 7/10 "The sprightliest movie about mowing down revenants with a chainsaw that you are are ever likely to see."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
