October Gale
A killer stalks a remote island in this edge-of-your-seat thriller starring Patricia Clarkson, Scott Speedman, and Tim Roth. Helen (Clarkson), a recently widowed doctor, returns home to her isolated cottage off the Canadian coast to find a stranger with a gunshot wound (Speedman) hiding out from two men intent on killing him.
As an ominous storm brews outside, trapping the pair on the island, they must join forces to survive a harrowing night of terror. Full of hairpin plot twists and unrelenting tension, October Gale is a grippingly suspenseful spine-chiller.
Critic Reviews:
- " [Clarkson and Speedman's] strong performances carry the viewer over any narrative bald patches to a sudden and yet satisfying conclusion. " – Chris Knight
- " “October Gale” is compassionate, authentically emotional at times, and when it reaches its potential, retains some concept of restraint. " – Brian Orndorf
- " The film is a fine showcase of all things Canadian, including sweeping aerial cinematography of Georgian Bay and the filmmakers' uncanny ability to enter a genre and think outside the proverbial box. " – Daniel Horowitz
