This film, from the acting to the directing, is a very well done and great film. Director Dom Lenoir not only allows the actors time to enhance their characters, he also allows the actors the opportunity to make their characters their own. The scenery/beautiful setting is amazing and gives the film a feel that is not usually captured on even "studio" films. The rolling hils, the gritty feel and even the sky enhances the story and allows the audience to feel they are in the film. Winter Ridge is a well made thriller that has enough twists and turns to keep the audience guessing and wanting them to return to this world that Dom Lenoir created. Well done and highly recommended.

UK based director Dom Lenoir delivers his mainstream feature debut with the atmospheric and tense independent detective thriller "Winter Ridge", starring producer Matt Hookings, as the tormented detective Ryan Barnes, alongside Alan Ford (Snatch, An American Werewolf in London) and Game of Thrones's Hannah Waddingham. It's surprising that this was shot for quite a low-budget for a feature, because "Winter Ridge" feels like a high-end production from beginning to the surprising conclusion, full of beautiful raw landscapes, eerie aerial shots, perfect editing and expertly crafted sequences full of tension (like the carchase!). The story follows a tormented detective in a complex chase after a vicious serial killer which terrorizes a secluded mountain village, while his wife is in a coma. The story has a good pacing and built-up, and you feel the emotional journey of detective Ryan Barnes. Matt Hookings is great in his part as a detective on the edge that is battling his own demons while trying to unravel a mystery, and he keeps his own next to UK acting monuments like Alan Ford and Hannah Waddingham. Especially Waddingham is unforgettable as Joanne Hill. So do yourself a favor and check out this tight indie thriller if you have the chance at a film festival near you!

From the jarring intense sound of a car smash followed by opening title I was in... A bonafide True British Gem with all the hallmarks of a true Seat of your chair Psychological Thriller begging the question "what wouldn't you do?". Tense powerful performance from leading man Matt Hookings surrounded by a top notch supporting cast, In this beautifully crafted, gorgeously shot and expertly executed independent must see movie... It's a strong Recommend from me!!!

Such a boring and bad acting movie. Don't waste your time with this movie.

A very well made thriller. Clearly a super talented team behind this one and a cracking cast too. Totally make sense why these guys are going places. Winter Ridge is the British Scandinavian drama we've been waiting for.

I was lucky enough to see Winter Ridge at the Hollywood Florida Film Festival. The cinematography is breathtaking, and the story is original and well-told. I appreciated the very believable depiction of a small-ish sized town in which not everyone knows one another. I very much enjoyed the unique story line of the detective and his wife who was in the hospital, and I was intrigued by the progression of the conversations between the detective and the wife's nurse, which was a really lovely touch that gives one hope for brighter days to come for our protagonist. I am eagerly awaiting the film's availability to the general public, because I want to share it with my parents. I know they will enjoy it as much as I did.

Engaging from beginning to end, with great cast and a compelling narrative. It's been sometime since I saw a really good British Indie flick and this was a much welcomed changed from the usual fare.
