Boston GlobeTom RussoMay 2, 2011
Some entertaining inventiveness, before nagging limitations finally drag it down. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveyApr 29, 2011
Dylan Dog isn't a terrible movie, just one that feels like a tepid mishmash of secondhand concepts, never developing a distinctive atmosphere or unique personality of its own. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottApr 29, 2011
An unapologetic B-movie, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night tries mightily to cover its flaws with a peppering of humor -- much of it supplied courtesy of Dylan's zombie sidekick, played by Sam Huntington -- and an at-times fun "Buffy the Vampire Hunter" vibe. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzApr 29, 2011
Never mind that Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is loosely based on an Italian comic series from the 1980s; this low-rent adaptation owes an embarrassingly big blood debt to HBO's "True Blood." Read full review

The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsApr 29, 2011
Peter Stormare has fun engaging in some Walken-level scenery-chewing-almost literally-as the patriarch of a werewolf clan. Good for him. That means at least one person has found something to like about this tedious collection of wisecracks and hand-me-down monsters. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovMay 5, 2011
Director Munroe (TMNT) is clearly a fan and attempted his best on an admittedly limited budget, but some things just don't translate that well. Throw this dog a bone? No need, he's already got a closetful. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineTodd GilchristApr 30, 2011
Dylan Dog feels like its ideas were stolen from western entertainment-a mash-up of sexy vampires, burly werewolves, and comical-gross zombies-which Hollywood then stole back from the Europeans, forgetting that other movies have explored that evil terrain thoroughly, exhaustively and better.

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleApr 30, 2011
Brings vampires, werewolves, zombies, detective noir and spoofy comedy together for a murky genre gumbo with barely any flavor. Read full review

Orlando SentinelRoger MooreApr 29, 2011
Its star, Brandon Routh, is just as miscast as a droll, world-weary "investigator of the undead" as he was as a boy-Man of Steel back in 2006. Read full review

Film noir is combined with horror to zero effect in Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. Read full review
