DEAD OF WINTER
The film
A woman, travelling alone through snowbound northern Minnesota, interrupts the kidnapping of a teenage girl. Hours from the nearest town and with no phone service, she realizes that she is the young girl’s only hope.
Hadn’t heard of this, saw it on a beat of the year list, and really enjoyed it. Emma Thompson bringing humanity to what’s actually a pretty hardcore movie. I have some nitpicks, but I was genuinely on the edge of my seat, and it’s has a great villain. Rented on Prime.
