More than just your standard horror/comedy, The Wolf of Snow Hollow is a tonal balancing act, a movie that doesn’t go for laughs or horror as much as weave various tones and styles through its excellent script. I thought Cummings was a talent to watch after “Thunder Road,” and now I’m sure of it. - 78
Austin Chronicle
Part of the brilliance of Cummings’ performance is how he can turn on a dime, baring his soul one second and throwing off a well-timed jab in the same breath. Thankfully, the actors around him are able to keep up with his pace. - 75
Slant Magazine
Writer-director Jim Cummings reinvigorates an oft-told tale with personal, thorny preoccupations. - 75
The Playlist
Tense, scary, and full of heart, when Cummings has all the pieces moving together in the same direction the movie hums with an effortless rhythm that largely makes up for deficiencies baked into the third act. - 75
The A.V. Club
Among the many quirks of this very idiosyncratic comedy is that it really is structured like a thriller or a horror film. - 70
Los Angeles Times
The Wolf of Snow Hollow is a pleasingly quirky outing that has fun with the mythologies of both monsters and men. - 60
Variety
The movie does get some zingers in there, and it balances the humor with some nicely atmospheric creepy small town vibes (courtesy of DP Natalie Kingston), but the tone is all over the place and a far cry from the “Fargo”-y Coen brothers feel Cummings seems to be going for. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Satisfying enough as a horror/slasher flick with a black-comedy aftertaste, it has some commercial appeal but doesn't represent a step forward artistically.
