Following a father and his sons as they venture into the woods on a day trip that turns dangerous, one of the indie surprises of the summer was Rob Connolly‘s Edge of Winter, starring Joel Kinnaman and Tom Holland. We’re pleased to exclusively premiere a new clip from the drama ahead of its DVD release, which depicts an intense conversation between the leads.
We said in our review, “The bracing tension of Rob Connelly’s Edge of Winter hinges on a powerful portrait of a father who compulsively believes his self-worth to be inextricably bound to his sons. As the film unfolds, this man’s expressions of “love” for his children begin to metamorphose in unsettling then monstrous ways, resulting in a descent into madness reminiscent of The Shining in the way the ostensibly unassailable fiber of familial love is threatened by violent insanity in the patriarch.”
Check out the exclusive clip below.
Recently divorced and laid off from his job, Elliot Baker (Joel Kinnaman, Suicide Squad; Run All Night) is desperate to spend more time bonding with his sons, Bradley (Tom Holland, Captain America: Civil War) and Caleb (Percy Hynes White, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb). What starts as family day trip to teach his boys how to shoot turns into a nightmare when they become stranded. As they retreat to a desolate cabin, Elliot’s mounting fear of losing custody pushes him to the edge. The brothers quickly realize that the man responsible for keeping them safe has now become their biggest threat.
Edge of Winter is now on Digital HD and hits DVD on September 27.
