If you’re after something a bit different, this recent horror comedy might be just what you’re looking for.A sleepy, snow-covered town is experiencing unexplained bumps in the night- and some people insist it can be nothing other than a real-life werewolf.

The local police force have... mixed feelings about this suspicion. From the outset, the film screams nothing if not charm. With a quirky, bumbling police officer and the promise of a timeless monster- I was sold pretty early on.

Familiar faces include Riki Lindhome and Robert Forster, together with director, writer and star Jim Cummings. Managing to deliver laughs not at the expense of the scares can be a tricky balancing act, but many viewers and critics alike have taken to the film’s unique tone.

Murders in a snowy town policed by idiots will always be reminiscent of Fargo but The Wolf of Snow Hollow seems to touch on this idea, without ever making the mistake of being reliant on it.
