In the dead of winter, the time of their lives has just run out in Everwinter Night. The indie horror-comedy is described as Midsommar meets Chasing Amy by way of The Shining.
Watch an exclusive clip from the film’s 1994-set prologue below, along with Marc Schoenbach’s retro-inspired poster art.
The unique blend of slow-burn tension, quirky humor, and chilling horror is directed by Adam Newman from a script he co-wrote with Chris Goodwin. Victoria Mirrer, McKenna Parsons, Goodwin, Jamie Dufault, and indie horror darling Sarah Nicklin (The Retaliators, The Black Mass) star.
“Lifelong best friends Maddy and V set out for a relaxing vacation. When their old college clique hijack their plans, V finds herself at a remote ski lodge where a group of mysterious wealthy men throw a celebration a century in the making.”
The unconventional production was the result of a different movie being cancelled at the last minute due to unforeseen complications. With a cast and crew two days out from filming on location in New Hampshire, a completely new story was conceived on the fly using the resources available.
“The shoot was unlike anything we had ever done or heard of before,” explains Newman. “After our 12-hour shoot days, we had to head back to our rooms to write the scenes for the following day, trusting in the story that we had assembled only days before and in the talented cast and crew that stuck with us through it all. Somehow, in the chaos, we were able to craft a personal story that mixes a lot of what we love in horror movies: characters you love – or love to hate – plus fun kills and story-fueled scares.”
Everwinter Night marks the inaugural feature from Dreamscape Productions. Following a successful festival run that included winning Best Feature at the Central Florida Film Festival, the New Hampshire-based production company has opted to self-distribute the film.
