I watched "Dead of Winter" recently, a 1980's thriller that stars Mary Steenburgen and Roddy McDowall. Had seen it way back, and remembered it as an enjoyable flick, but couldn't remember a lot of the details. Well, I enjoyed it all over. Steenburgen actually plays 3 roles in this, and McDowall is one of the villains. Good suspense, woman in peril, woman as villain, eerie house in the country replete with secret passages and dead bodies, and snow storm kind of movie. It was worth another look. Some good scares and jumps in this one, and the gore factor was almost zero--violence, yes, but no gore. Yes, there are some holes in the plot, but I didn't care. Very watchable, edge of your seat thriller.
