The Wolf of Snow Hollow - Jim Cummings - 2020


★★★★ - Jim Cummings wrote, directed, and starred in this fantastic flick. Plays a great stressed-out police officer with problems. He is like the one person in town convinced that the horrific murders in the small mountain Utah town were not done by a werewolf, which don’t exist, right? 

Smart, interesting, fresh take on werewolf movies. Deals with some real shit too. Alcoholism, relapse, mental breakdowns. Packs in a lot for a horror movie with comedic elements.

As the bodies pile up, he is under more pressure and becomes increasingly paranoid and unhinged. Trying to stay sober, keep everyone safe (including his daughter and fellow officers), care for his aging father (played by Robert Forster in his final role) who’s the town’s sheriff that refuses to retire, and keep townspeople from completely losing their shit is too much for him.

This film definitely kept me guessing. Highly recommend.
