Dead Of Winter
"An excellent, classic-style suspenser! -The Hollywood Reporter
Academy Award® winner Mary Steenburgen and Roddy McDowall star in a pulse-pounding thriller in the tradition of the legendary master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. "You'll find yourself on the edge of your seat" (Los Angeles) with this bone-chilling tale of deception, blackmail and murder in which no one is who they seem to be... and any mistake could be your last.
When actress Katie McGovern (Steenburgen) is summoned to an isolated estate for a screen test, she finds that her mysterious hosts, Mr. Murray (McDowall) and Dr. Joseph Lewis (Jan Rubes), have plans for her... that have nothing to do with acting! And when the deadly money-making scheme erupts in a firestorm of double-crosses and cold-blooded murder, Katie realizes she has only one chance at survival: She must turn the tables on her enemies.... by giving the performance of her life!

what a ridiculous concoction of bad acting, depressing lighting, and horrid clothing. the main actress wears a red and black plaid checkered coat with a black and white checkered shirt underneath.it is by far the scariest thing in the film. the so called scary man in the wheelchair was not scary but irritatingly cliche and irksome.This movie is so bad that it's bad. 80's cheese that's completely stale. - BadChad
Wow, I don't know where I got the notion to rent this schlockey mess, I think that it was a list of overlooked movies. Well, I wish I hadn't come across that list, let me friggin tell you.
Basically a low budget 80's soap opera. Terribly corny and cliched acting. The story was a bit original but didn't make sense- she was supposed to be the spitting image of one woman but then ended up looking like the sister. Whatever, just don't rent this under any circumstances. I feel taken advantage of having sat through the whole thing.An ok Movie - drummer_boy
I had seen this movie when i was fairly young and i remembered some very small details about this film .. You know sometimes when your a kid and you see a movie, you think it's amazing and then you watch it as an adult and its ....well it's not so good. That's how i felt about this picture.
It's ok , but not great . A big part of the story like how it came to all of this is kind of missing in my opinion. For me it was a rental and it will stay this way .
