Trailer For Emma Thompson's DEAD OF WINTER Teases a Chilling Survival Thriller in the Snowy Wilderness
Here’s the trailer for Dead of Winter, which delivers a tense, snow-covered survival thriller that looks absolutely intense.
The story centers on a grief-stricken loner played by Emma Thompson, who gets caught in a brutal blizzard and veers off course near a remote Minnesotan lake. Seeking shelter, she stumbles upon a secluded cabin and uncovers a horrifying situation, a kidnapped young woman, played by Laurel Marsden, held captive by a dangerous couple portrayed by Judy Greer and Marc Menchaca.
With no cell service and no way out, Thompson’s character becomes the only hope for survival in a deadly standoff.
This is a very different kind of film for Thompson and Greer as they play very unique and interesting characters that we’ve never seen them play before.
Dead of Winter is directed by Brian Kirk and co-written by Nicholas Jacobson-Larson and Dalton Leeb. The trailer is packed with suspense and creeping dread, with Thompson stepping into a role that’s gritty and grounded.
The film also stars Gaia Wise, Cuan Hosty-Blaney, Paul Hamilton, Lloyd Hutchinson, and Brian F. O’Byrne. What really drives the tension is the isolation and sheer unpredictability of the setting. As the stakes rise, it’s clear this isn’t just about escape, it’s about survival.
The movie will be released on September 26th.
