Dead of Winter<\/strong> is a gripping, ice-cold survival thriller anchored by an extraordinary performance from Academy Award winner Emma Thompson playing an unlikely action hero in the most freezing, terrifying circumstances imaginable.<\/p>\n

The film follows Barb (Emma Thompson), a grieving widow traveling alone through a brutal snowstorm in northern Minnesota. Her mission is deeply personal: she is headed to a remote, frozen lake to scatter her late husband\u2019s ashes at the spot where they had their first date.<\/p>\n

Written by:<\/strong> Nicholas Jacobson-Larson & Dalton Leeb
\nProducers:<\/strong> Jon Berg, Jonas Katzenstein, Maximilian Leo & Greg Silverman<\/p>\n

However, her journey of closure takes a terrifying turn when she stumbles upon a kidnapping in progress. With no cell service and hours away from the nearest town, Barb realizes she is the only hope for a teenage girl named Leah (Laurel Marsden) being held captive by a dangerous couple.<\/p>\n

The story evolves into a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game across the sub-zero wilderness, where Barb must use her grit and resilience to outsmart the kidnappers while battling the elements.<\/p>\n

Emma Thompson takes a polar plunge into action territory with Dead of Winter, a chilly thriller that wears one too many layers of backstory but still satisfies as a tense showcase for its estimable star.<\/em><\/p>\n

The film features a notable family connection: the role of “Young Barb” in the film’s emotional flashbacks is played by Gaia Wise, who is Emma Thompson\u2019s real-life daughter. Critics have also noted Thompson\u2019s physical transformation for the role, including a thick Minnesotan accent that has drawn comparisons to Frances McDormand\u2019s iconic performance in Fargo<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Awards & Festival<\/h3>\n

World Premiere at the 78th Locarno International Film Festival<\/span><\/span> in the Piazza Grande section on August 8, 2025.<\/p>\n
