The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020)

My quick rating - 6.4/10. Expecting a low-budget werewolf flick, I was genuinely surprised in what I got from this one. In a small local town populated with some very well-played characters, a young girl is murdered. Well, more mutilated, but this is the basic premise of the whole film. On the case is an aging sheriff and his underachieving son who desperately wants to find the killer to prove to his father he is worthy to succeed him. The acting and at times overacting is so well done and believable, I think some of it may just be who they are. And that leads to a love-it-or-hate-it with the lead. The mystery continues throughout the film as bodies pile up and suspicions begin to run wild. But mix into this a dabbling of a recovering alcoholic and a promiscuous daughter played so well by Jim Cummings (who btw wrote and directed as well) was really what makes this one stand out. Within the budget, they do a nice job of alluding to the violence and the monster without having to show much, just enough to keep your interest and let your imagination fill in the blanks. Definitely a good under-the-radar find that I think is worth finding. A solid mystery, quirky characters, and a good ending to bring it all together.
