Emma Thompson stars in Dead of Winter, a gripping survival drama coming to UK and Irish cinemas on 26 September. She plays Barb, a widow carrying the weight of grief, who travels to northern Minnesota to scatter her husband’s ashes where their story first began. What starts as a journey of remembrance turns into a desperate struggle when a sudden blizzard leaves her cut off in the frozen wilderness.
Her search for refuge leads to a secluded cabin hiding more danger than the storm itself. Inside, a young woman is held captive by a volatile couple, portrayed by Judy Greer and Marc Menchaca. Isolated and surrounded by snow, Barb is forced to confront both the menace before her and the ache she carries within, drawing on memory and resilience to survive.
Combining stark natural backdrops with psychological intensity, Dead of Winter promises an emotional and suspenseful cinema experience this autumn.
