10 Awesome Recent Movies You Probably Missed

4. The Wolf Of Snow Hollow

The Informer Joel Kinnaman
United Artists Releasing

After Jim Cummings stormed onto the scene with his superb 2018 drama Thunder Road, few would've ever expected his next film to be a horror-comedy.

Yet despite its seemingly typical werewolf movie premise, The Wolf of Snow Hollow is anything but, gradually pulling back the layers to reveal that it's a far more playful and subversive take than you'd expect from the gnarly opening setup.

As writer-director-star, Cummings continues to prove himself a prodigiously talented artist, while the film also serves as a bittersweet farewell for the great Robert Forster, who sadly passed away before it was released. He's great here, by the way.

If the Coen brothers ever made a werewolf movie, it'd probably end up something like this - hilarious in a totally left-field way, beautifully filmed, and perfectly cast.

But like several other movies on this list, don't read or watch much before seeing it.
