Director: Jim Cummings. Cast: Jim Cummings, Riki Lindhome, Robert Forster. 83 min. Comedy/Horror.
- A series of grisly murders take place in a small snowy town, and the town folks try to convince the young sheriff (a recovering alcoholic with anger management issues) it's the work of a werewolf. Hilarious.
- The blend of comedy, mystery and horror reminds of David Lynch's Twin Peaks (especially with the late Robert Forster in his penultimate movie role), or the more obscure The Love Witch. Of course, there's a nod to the latter movie, with a poster of the film in the hero's daughter's bedroom.
- You can't avoid it: every time the police suddenly finds him/herself alone in the killer's home in a movie's final scene, you're reminded of Jodie Foster and Silence of the Lambs' climactic moments. It happened to Kate Winslet in this year's HBO show Mare of Easttown, and it happens again here.
- Director/writer/actor Jim Cummings' second feature film. The man looks promising.
