More than misery ... - Winterskin review by NP
This film, by Charlie Steeds (who is also behind such bloody extravaganzas as Barge People and A Werewolf in England amongst others), features Billy (David Lenik) and Agnes (Rowena Bentley), who are holed up together in Mama Agnes’s log cabin. Despite Bentley's extravagant playing, this production is serious - even tragic - in tone, unlike some of Steeds' other work.
I enjoyed this. The feeling of icy isolation is exemplified by the excellent score. The supporting cast is not quite as convincing as the main two and it’s something of a relief they only occupy a small amount of screen time, as does the main monster figure, featured on the promotional packaging. When we see the creature, he is very effective. My score is 8 out of 10.
