The premise
When Jack (Edward Furlong) is in danger of missing a deadline, his manager orders him to take whatever measures are needed to complete his screenplay. Jack locks himself in a slaughterhouse freezer but discovers that his inner demons are keeping him company. Despite the cold, Jack's imagination is red-hot as he concocts the story of Frank (Furlong), a tow truck driver who's locked in a fridge with the dying victim of a serial killer.
Horror Vault's take
Desperate to meet a deadline, struggling screenwriter Jack seals himself inside an abandoned slaughterhouse freezer — only to find that solitude and subzero temperatures are far from his biggest problem. His screenplay comes to life around him, blurring the line between imagination and reality in deeply unsettling ways. The story-within-a-story follows a tow truck driver trapped in a refrigerator alongside a serial killer's victim, ratcheting up the claustrophobic dread. Edward Furlong leads this low-budget psychological thriller that traps both its characters and its audience in increasingly tight spaces.
