Critics Consensus

The Wolf of Snow Hollow treads somewhat unsteadily between horror and comedy, but writer-director-star Jim Cummings' unique sensibilities make for an oddly haunting hybrid.

David Fear

Rolling Stone

It's the personal demons rather than old-fashioned monsters that get you - one of [the] central tenets of Cummings' genre exercise/portrait of a screw-up mash-up.

Rated: 3/5

"The Wolf of Snow Hollow" is a pleasingly quirky outing that has fun with the mythologies of both monsters and men.

Austin Chronicle

Cummings is so whip-smart in sustaining his manic energy with a layer of genuine pathos, that the effect transcends one-note cliche.

The Wolf of Snow Hollow is another fantastic film from Jim Cummings. Its quirky sense of humor, surprisingly deep family dynamics, mixed with the murder mystery story make for an entertaining and unpredictable horror-comedy.

Rated: A+

Patheos

Snow Hollow is willing to name things like “toxic masculinity” and “anger issues” explicitly, but deft and subtle enough to show these abstractions emerging from and intersecting with the werewolf plot naturally.

A new, smart, & fun take on the werewolf genre. It's got a Twin Peaks vibe to it.

It's trying to be funny, and sometimes is, and it's trying to be scary, and sometimes is, but the ending did not satisfy, except of course, for seeing the new sheriff in town. I found it awkward to watch our protagonist act like a 13-year-old, which was the point, but didn't make me happy as a viewer. I'm tip-toing around the solution to the mystery of the monster that's killing townsfolk, because I don't want to spoil it. All I will say here is the monster we see briefly at different parts of the movie is, as it turns out, impossible. I didn't believe it. I'm offended that that's the denoument.

This movie is very carefully put together. Repeat views will reward with cool little details that show a consistent story being meticulously crafted.

I'm a lover of all things werewolf. A lot of directors/productions have a hard time with werewolf movies because either the costume looks like a guy in a suit or the CGI looks like something from Nintendo 64. That being said I really liked this movie. Jim Cummings is hilarious. I've never seen anything with him in it before but his dry witty sense of humor is absolutely hysterical. The scary parts were scary and unsettling and the comedic parts were spot-on. I was laughing and jumping out of my skin. I think that they did a good job with the actual werewolf as well. I believe it was mostly CGI but there were some parts where they used someone in a suit but they didn't show a whole lot or just a brief glimpse or shot at an angle or was kept in shadow or behind a foggy window. Very believable creepy and ominous. This was a good movie I would definitely recommend giving it a watch especially if you're a fan of the werewolf/horror genre. This was fun to watch.

The tone of this movie is just terrible..........it doesnt know whether or not it wants to be a drama, a comedy, a thriller.......this film was a memorable, but messy mess.
