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.

Horror Movie Talk

The Wolf of Snow Hollow is a very relatable and well-made movie that just happens to feature some very tense moments. It’s more fun than I bargained for, and the twist is quite good once you put together what it all means for all the characters involved.

Rated: 9/10

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.

Cannot recommend. I never write reviews but I feel compelled to do my best to prevent anyone else from wasting their time on this one. Truly awful acting and I think they may have been trying to be campy but it fell flat and was just terrible. Story was kind of interesting but the whole bad alcoholic dad bit was so over the top it was unbelievable. The outbursts from the lead were insufferable... actually let's just call the lead insufferable altogether. I recognized some solid actors in this one but their talents were largely wasted. I usually give horror flicks the benefit of the doubt but this one... skip it.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Definitely worth a watch, Jim Cummings' performance is great, Robert Forster has a small but well done role, there are some genuinely funny moments and some genuinely scary moments. The movie moves right along, the snowy setting is actually quite beautiful. I give the film a solid B+.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A small Utah community is terrorized by a werewolf and the cops investigating led by a sheriff (director Cummings) with anger issues. A interesting but uneven entry in the “small-town horror-comedy” subgenre. It's clever and stylish, though not entirely cohesive tonally. Some might find those shifts uncomfortable. I found the film a nice unconventional twist on the werewolf mythos and enjoyed how it represented the toxic masculinity portrayed by the sheriff. Last film of Robert Forster's career.
