Directed by Brian Kirk from a script by Nicholas Jacobson-Larson and Dalton Leeb, the film sees Thompson play a woman who travels to a remote area to scatter her late husband's ashes. There she stumbles across the kidnapping of a young woman (Laurel Marsden) by a gun-toting couple (Judy Greer, Marc Menchaca).
Dead of Winter is in UK/ROI cinemas from September 26th.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
Hit by a blizzard, a grief-stricken loner (Emma Thompson) gets lost among backroads near a Minnesotan lake and stops for help at a remote cabin in the woods. Here she discovers a young woman (Laurel Marsden) kidnapped by a desperate couple (Judy Greer, Marc Menchaca) who are armed and intent on murder. Isolated and without cell service, this unlikely hero realizes she is the woman’s only hope of survival.
