I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the twenty-second night, I am posting The Wolf of Snow Hollow.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020)
A small ski town in Utah is in a state of fear as the bodies of mutilated people turn up every full moon. With the Sheriff ailing, it is up to his son and the other deputies to find answers before the winter holidays yield its next victims. This 2020 horror comedy was written and directed and stars Jim Cummings as the troubled deputy whose family and work are falling apart due to his alcoholism and rage issues. Although the Wolf of Snow Hollow plays out as a black comedy with hints that a werewolf is at work, this film benefits from the winter setting and the excellent performance by Cummings as John Marshall. The film also stars Riki Lindhome, Chloe East, and Robert Forster in one of his final roles. The film does have some gory moments but the great roles and tight script allow the film to play out as more a monster movie than a slasher. The Wolf of Snow Hollow was one of the best werewolf-themed movies in recent years and will pair well with The Werewolf Within as both take place in wintery settings.
