Dead of Winter

3..5

I was looking for a snowy, isolated horror/thriller, and that's exactly what I got. I would love to state that the twists and turns came as a surprise, but I had guessed the killer and major twist so early into the story. I guess a lifetime of reading such stories had something to do with that. I wish I got it wrong, though. It's nice to be wrong in such cases. None of that impeded my enjoyment. The pacing was good, the tension was palpable, and I had a decent enough time. The itch was itched.
