The premise
In the small town of Revelstoke, Alaska, local barber Dexter is surprised to learn that the body of Lucy Waters has been discovered. Having killed this woman, days ago, he hoped her body wouldn't be found until spring. Through the eyes of a serial killer, we discover the chilling layer of a weary town whose only concern is another long, dark winter.
Horror Vault's take
In the frost-bitten isolation of a small Alaskan town, a mild-mannered barber harbors a terrifying secret beneath his unremarkable facade. The story unfolds from inside the mind of a killer as he navigates the mundane rhythms of community life while managing the fallout of his crimes. The oppressive winter setting becomes a character in itself, amplifying the dread of a town too preoccupied with survival to see the danger in its midst. Malcolm McDowell lends his signature intensity to this quiet but deeply unsettling portrait of evil.
