Dead Of Winter15

Directed by Brian Kirk | Canada/USA | 2025 | 1h 38m | Starring Emma Thompson, Judy Greer, Marc Menchaca, Gaia Wise, Brían F. O’Byrne

Caught in a blizzard, a grieving widow loses her way on the back roads of Minnesota and takes refuge in a remote cabin. There, she stumbles into a nightmare: a murderous couple holding a young woman hostage. What follows is a brutal fight for survival in the snowbound wilderness. Starring Oscar-winner Emma Thompson, this relentless kidnap thriller weaves suspense with an unexpected love story at its heart.

Reviews

‘Thompson’s relatable presence and likability-aura make a very good solvent for the concentrated nastiness of Greer’s desperate villain and what she has in mind for her teen prisoner. There’s a distinct chill.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
