Brutally savaged bodies pile up in a small mountain town during the full moon, and an alcoholic sheriff must solve the crimes and keep the town in order and his estranged daughter safe.
Comedy/horror… How does one put the two opposites successfully together? I don’t know if there is a universal answer, but, in this instance, it’s how actor/writer/director Jim Cummings puts them together. The comedic acting contrasts the dark and haunting photography, and the soundtrack either adapts to the tone or interestingly causes antithesis. My round of applause, though, goes to the editing team, not for the impressive flash-forwards during the killings but for balancing Cummings’ vision of finding humour in dramatic and horrific situations.
I’ll deliberately keep this one shorter than usual. Turn the lights off and give it a go. Films such as The Wolf of Snow Hollow can be the escape we need against the depressing and abhorrent reality we currently live in, even though we have to return to it eventually.
Last but definitely not least, rest in peace, Robert Forster. You will always be remembered.

I watched 12 hour shift yesterday on your recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed it. I will give this one a go asap.
I’m not lying! These are impactful indies that respect the audience’s intelligence, amuse, and entertain. Have fun!
