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.

Craig B

‘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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Alec B

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.

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.

"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+

Eve Tushnet

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.
