The funniest, most inspired moments come in the film's last 15 minutes -- which is smart, because it sends the audience out smiling. ...read the complete Dead Snow movie review at Cinematical

Bottom Line: A clever Norwegian horror movie sinks in an ocean of blood. ...read the complete Dead Snow movie review at The Hollywood Reporter
Reel Talk Reviews
Far from Scandinavian Lutheran deep seriousness, this is all homage to a generally shallow genre and fun for those who cotton to the sort of thing. For those more upset by subtitles than by blood, the English-dubbed version is available on demand. ...read the complete Dead Snow movie review at Reel Talk Reviews

Dead Snow doesn't quite meet the level of giddy wonderment reached by Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell, but the spirit of The Evil Dead is still here. ...read the complete Dead Snow movie review at filmcritic.com

Upstart Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola goes for gory glory in a Nazi zombie slasher pic that steals liberally from the Sam Raimi cannon of horror. ...read the complete Dead Snow movie review at ColeSmithey.com

Dead Snow is one of many Norwegian horror flicks that takes place amid endless, snow-cloaked mountains, a hint at some national anxiety we don't quite understand. ...read the complete Dead Snow movie review at Paste Magazine

Boxoffice Magazine
Dead Snow is an insufferably derivative horror movie of the Evil Dead meets George Romero school, with some Scream-era Wes Craven self-reflexivity tossed in for good measure. ...read the complete Dead Snow movie review at Boxoffice Magazine

The new horror film "Dead Snow" serves up the best one line description a shocker could have.

But is it funny? "Dead Snow" would like to consider itself an "Evil Dead" descendent, merging brutality with shockwaves of dark comedy and outright homage; unfortunately, Wirkola simply doesn't have the chops to bring the material to a comedic boil, and t ...read the complete Dead Snow movie review at Brian Orndorf
