Entertainment Weekly
Cheery, silly, splattery, and respectful of its elders (and betters, particularly Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead"). - 75
New York Post
Wirkola keeps the narrative taut, wasting not a frame; and he throws in funny moments. - 70
Variety
The pic reveals itself as a horror-action-comedy a la "Evil Dead," with amusing twists of fate and over-the-top gore. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Any horror movie with the moxie to play Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" during a zombie attack can't be all bad. - 67
The A.V. Club
The concept doesn't go much further than the wardrobe department--that is, until a deliriously over-the-top climax finally rouses the film from its "Evil Dead"-mimicking stupor. - 63
Rolling Stone
If you tamp down your expectations -- those gaping plot holes are dangerous! -- there is a storm of scary fun to be had in this Scandinavian splatterfest. - 60
Village Voice
For more than half of this 90-minute film, director Tommy Wirkola plays things pretty straight--a mistake, perhaps, since the first half is pretty boring--but once the Nazi zombies start arriving en masse, he abruptly shifts to an "Evil Dead"–style zaniness, including the sight of a potential victim hanging off the side of a mountain while using a zombie's entrails as rope. - 60
The New York Times
As is often the case with movies of this type, the real stars are the special-effects team, which does some admirably disgusting work.
