![]() It’s up to the viewer whether to view the lead and other cops as properly criticized, or whether you see John as sympathetic, but I personally found him too self-absorbed to appear as a lovingly flawed entry point to the film. He cries in front of her, breaks down, and scares her, and he’s never excused as a struggling father for any of this it’s clear he’s messed up badly. ![]() John has boundary issues with his 17-year old daughter, telling her to arm herself yet dragging her from a truck with her boyfriend and screaming in the street. Though it follows a group of cops, it goes out of its way not to glorify them or police violence, marking its lead as an alcoholic father with anger issues, who still believes he is this plucky “good cop” the media has led her to believe. Film Review: The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) John Marshall (director Jim Cummings) is deeply flawed, trying to follow the archetype of the heroic solar sheriff, going after a strange killer in a small town he has to keep reminding himself can’t actually be a werewolf. And while this suspense horror pokes through at times, and returns in gloriously fun full-force at the end, this is largely the story of a bad cop. The first scene and initial werewolf attacks promise a different film than we get for much of the runtime. ![]() Out of this select group of worlds that may turn up in horror, this is one of a windy small town, where everyone knows each other. The warm Christmas carols, tree-lined horizon, and cabin journey in the opening feel so familiar atmospherically that it isn’t quite an issue of unoriginality, but the warmth of feeling at home in a video store horror aisle playing with the same tropes and worlds. While it rehashes plenty of tried-and-told horror stories in places, The Wolf of Snow Hollow is commendable for its intense familiarity.
