Centigrade (2020), directed by Brendan Walsh and written by Walsh and Daley Nixon, is a chilling survival horror film that tests the limits of human endurance and the psychological toll of isolation.
Set in the harsh, unforgiving environment of the Arctic, the film follows a couple who are stranded in a snowstorm, trapped in their car with no escape and the relentless cold threatening their survival.
With a small cast, primarily featuring Genesis Rodriguez and Vincent Piazza, Centigrade delivers a gripping and intense cinematic experience that explores themes of survival, desperation, and the lengths people will go to when facing life-or-death situations.
The film is inspired by true events, telling the harrowing story of Matt and his wife, Sara, who are traveling through the snowy landscape of Norway when a massive snowstorm hits. Their car becomes trapped in the snow, and with no immediate help available, they must rely on their wits and limited resources to survive.
The couple must contend not only with the freezing temperatures but also with their physical and emotional endurance as they struggle to maintain hope and sanity. As the days stretch on and supplies dwindle, the psychological tension between them intensifies, revealing cracks in their relationship and forcing them to confront their deepest fears.
