Description:
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! *1980: SupportingActress, Melvin and Howard

This unofficial remake of the minor film noir classic My Name Is Julia Ross stars Mary Steenburgen as an out-of-work actress lured to the mansion of a crazy millionaire (Roddy McDowall). Once there, she realizes she has been kidnapped and is being groomed to play someone else. While eerie and unsettling, this 1987 film is also wrapped in a thick, anachronistic melodrama, making it hard to see the movie as anything but an instant artifact. The question is, why did director Arthur Penn (Bonnie and Clyde) have anything to do with it? On the plus side, McDowall is quite creepy as an elegant psychopath. --Tom Keogh

Great movie...came out years ago and watched it all the time..Mary Steenburgen plays three different caracters and Roddy McDowell is priceless.Be sure to settle in and watch this classic thriller on a cold winter afternoon.

In his review for Amazon Tom Keogh asks why the director Arthur Penn would have anything to do with this movie. Well in '87 Penn's career wasn't exactly on fire after the back to back flops Target and Four Friends. So the question is why wouldn't he be attracted to it. On the surface it's a very well written, tightly paced and moody story. And it was his last watchable feature film (he followed it with the not so watchable and somewhat ironically titled Penn & Teller Get Killed after which his ... Read More

I faintly remember watching Dead of Winter when I was younger and being a big fan of suspense/thrillers, I decided to check it out again! Based on the lack of reviews, I'm assuming this has become a forgotten treasure that hopefully people will re-discover as I did. The cold, isolated, snowy blizzard atmosphere adds the perfect mood for this underrated thriller. An actress thinks she is going to audition for a movie role but has no idea what her captors really have in store for her! I won't give away ... Read More

This is, frankly, not a very good film! My rating is for the quality of the transfer, which is excellent. Apparently the film was a project of Arthur Penn's son, but Penn himself had to take over to complete it and it's therefore attributed to him. He appears to have directed most of it. It's a remake of Joseph H. Lewis's `My Name is Julia Ross', and the original is much better. One of the characters in the Penn film is called Joseph H.Lewis!

It's a cold, snowy, blustery Saturday evening here in Wisconsin, and I thought this would be the best movie to put on as I settled in for a cozy nite. I've had the film for a while; the MGM/UA dvd has a dual-disc, with full-screen on one side and widescreen on the other. The Widescreen side doesn't seem to play. Still, it's fun to watch Mary Steenburgen chew up the scenery, in multiple roles. "Dead of Winter" isn't a great film on the levels that film purists demand, but it was well thought out by director ... Read More
