Edge of Winter Trailer 

As if we didn’t already have enough reasons not to get stranded in the wilderness (especially when temps are below the freezing point), director Rob Connolly has just given us one more with his newest psychological thriller, Edge of Winter. 

You could almost mistake Edge of Winter for a feel-good family film until you realize one of the kids is hoisting a rifle bigger than he is. Because feel-good family films aren’t overshadowed by an eerie foreboding that something is going to (literally) go off the tracks the moment you think everybody is going to hug it out. They also don’t end up in a broken-down SUV in the middle of the woods just as the sun is breathing its last. 

Starring Joel Kinnaman (Suicide Squad, Run All Night), Tom Holland (Captain America: Civil War) and Percy Hynes White (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb), Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome) and Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead), the film was also written by Connolly alongside Capote producer Kyle Mann. 

Recently divorced dad Elliot Baker (Kinnaman) is laid off from his job and threatened with losing custody of his two sons Bradley (Tom Holland) and Caleb (White), who are all he has left in the frozen world they live in. Before his son does anything dangerous with the rifle, Baker decides to take both his sons on a hunting trip that was supposed to be something of a warped Hallmark Channel bonding experience, but instead leaves them stranded in a desolate part of the woods. The adventure turns ominous after darkness shrouds the abandoned cabin they decide to spend the night in. Losing his sons to his estranged wife is a paranoia that gnaws at Elliot to the point of madness—and suddenly, the boys’ most terrifying threat in the wild unknown becomes someone who should have been their protector. 

Winter is coming to theaters August 12.
