Here's everything we know about The Wolf of Snow Hollow, a 2020 horror movie that features the final performance by the late Robert Forster. Written and directed by Jim Cummings, the movie was acquired by Orion Pictures in September 2020 and didn't have a traditional film festival run due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Wolf of Snow Hollow also hasn't been part of recent online festivals like Fantasia, so the only hype stems from the names attached.
In the movie industry, Cummings is best known for writing, directing, and starring in the 2018 dramedy Thunder Road. Based on the director's 2016 short film of the same name, the feature adaptation became a big hit at SXSW, and actually won the Grand Jury prize. Cummings had previously directed episodes of Still Life and Minutes, and also portrayed Burke in one episode of The Handmaid's Tale season 1, but Thunder Road significantly elevated his status within the industry. Aside from The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Cummings also has another film on the way called The Beta Test starring himself and Virginia Newcomb.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow may be a low-budget indie, but it could end up being a genre hit if the Oscar-nominated Forster delivers a strong performance in his final role. Plus, Cummings stars in the movie alongside Emmy Award-nominated actress, Riki Lindhome. Here's everything we know about The Wolf of Snow Hollow.
