'The Wolf Of Snow Hollow' Trailer: 'Thunder Road' Director Jim Cummings Hunts Werewolves With The Late Robert Forster

Year in and year out, so many damn films are released that you’re bound to miss something. In 2018, unless you were a film critic or a devoted indie cinephile, it’s very possible you missed, “Thunder Road,” the hilarious, awkward, cringe comedy from star, writer, director, producer jack of all trades Jim Cummings (we placed it on our list of The 25 Best Films Of 2018 You Didn’t See). “Thunder Road,” which won the SXSW Grand Jury Award that year, is amazing and electric and traverses the thin line between despair, melancholy, madness, and the everyday struggle to live while suffering from emotional pain. Thankfully, Cummings is back with a new film, “The Wolf Of Snow Hollow” which also features the late Academy Award-nominee Robert Forster is his final feature role.

His character seems just as complicated and abrasive as the lost soul in “Thunder Road.” “He is just a complete bulldozer and asshole and doesn’t listen to the people around him,” Cummings told EW recently. “That’s how we introduce the guy. He’s at AA and he sounds like a murderer. He talks about driving a forklift through his ex-wife’s house. He starts to believe that there is a serial killer in town and everybody else starts to believe that there’s a werewolf. He has to convince everybody in his circle that there’s no such thing as werewolves, which is something that he thinks should have gone without saying. And it becomes progressively more intense.”

That sounds like Cummings bread and butter which is humor via pain and cringe asshole narcissists and man, we can’t wait. Here’s the official synopsis :

A small-town sheriff, struggling with a failed marriage, a rebellious daughter, and a lackluster department, is tasked with solving a series of brutal murders that are occurring on the full moon. As he’s consumed by the hunt for the killer, he struggles to remind himself that there’s no such thing as werewolves…
