I highly recommend you seek out “The Wolf of Snow Hollow.” You will not be disappointed. I had never seen anything from him before, but I’m very curious to check out his feature film debut from 2018, “Thunder Road.” He’s the kind of talent who likes to do things on his own, but he has proven it is a task not too big for him. He has shown a lot of talent and ability here as a writer, director and actor. I enjoyed the hell out of it, and I look forward to more projects from Cummings in the future. With its Blu-ray release, now is the perfect time for you to discover and enjoy it. This is the perfect cult movie which is going to find an audience as it ages and more people check it out. It was a film I was not familiar with until its Blu-ray release, but I was pleasantly surprised with it. This is a prime example of a film with a $2 million dollar which makes the most of its script, actors and scenery. Near the end, Cummings decides to switch tones a bit, and this is a smart move because he transitions to a heartfelt conclusion that is satisfying on many levels. There are a number of overhead shots which are breathtaking. “The Wolf of Snow Hollow” is gorgeously shot as well, and this really stands out when taking the film in as an audience member. It reminded me a lot of “Fargo” if it had werewolves. John also has an anger problem, which produces some clever and offbeat moments. The beauty comes in the little moments of the film where the characters are interacting with each other. The deadpan comedic moments are executed flawlessly. It’s all in the tone and delivery by the actors and what I would imagine was a very specific script. On paper, this might not sound like the type of material which would produce a comedy or a solid horror film. The stress and anxiety of the job and John’s day-to-day life is getting to him. However, with each full moon another woman is gruesomely torn to shreds. There are theories out there that it’s a werewolf because of the work of the killer, and he’s not sure if he believes in werewolves or if his mind is playing tricks on him. The longer this case goes on, the more blame he is facing from the locals. He also wants to prove to himself, his daughter, his father, and everyone else that he is Sheriff material. He’s having a hard time solving the case, which is causing increased stress and an inability to sleep until he finds the killer. He’s three years sober after being in AA for six years, but the urge to drink starts to increase when local women are showing up dead left and right in Snow Hollow. ![]() In addition to these issues, John is also struggling to stay sober. However, there is one bright spot in Officer Julia Robson (Riki Lindhome) as she takes her job seriously and is there to help out John Marshall whenever he needs her. It also doesn’t help that some of the individuals working with him aren’t the brightest and most ambitious bunch of police officers out there. There is also the fact his father, played by the late Robert Forster, is having health issues and struggling to stay retired from his job as Sheriff. In John’s personal life, there is a lot going on as he’s trying to raise a 17-year-old daughter on her way to college despite the fact he and his ex-wife don’t get along at all. “The Wolf of Snow Hollow” is set in Snow Hollow, Utah where not much of anything happens on a day-to-day basis for local police officer John Marshall (Jim Cummings). The film is 80 minutes when you take out the credits, but it makes the most of each and every scene and character. He knows how to balance the quirky tone of the flick, which is why it’s such a beauty to watch from beginning to end. Thankfully for the audience, he’s up to the task of being the lead, and he has terrific comedic timing. It was written and directed by its star Jim Cummings. However, the beauty with cinema are the little gems like “ The Wolf of Snow Hollow.” This film is also notable for being one of the last to feature the late, great Robert Forster. Between the endless number of sequels, remakes and jump scare flicks, it can be quite difficult to find a horror flick truly worth of your time. Good horror is hard to find these days in Hollywood.
