Exclusive ‘The Wolf of Snow Hollow’ Clip: A Small-Town Sheriff Hunts for a Werewolf
Jim Cummings‘ microbudget indie comedy Thunder Road won the Grand Jury prize at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival and since then, lots of movie fans have been wondering what he would do next. The filmmaker-actor managed to nab Oscar nominee Robert Forster for his follow-up film, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, and sadly, it would turn out to be Forster’s final feature film role. The Wolf of Snow Hollow makes its premiere in select theaters and VOD this week, and /Film is debuting an exclusive clip from the horror-comedy.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow Clip
In the exclusive The Wolf of Snow Hollow clip debuted by /Film, Cummings – who stars as a blustering small-town sheriff – is called when a wolf attacks a teen couple making out in their parked car. But it looks like he gets the call too late, as the wolf rams into the car and drags both of them out, screaming.
Written, directed, and starring Cummings, The Wolf of Snow Hollow follows a small-town sheriff who is tasked with solving a series of brutal murders that all occur during the full moon. Convinced that the murders have been committed by a man, even as the rest of the town suspects it’s a wolf, the sheriff stumbles through the investigation and his own personal life problems. Also starring in the film are Robert Forster, in his final feature role, along with Riki Lindhome, Chloe East, and Jimmy Tatro.
The film premiered to critics last week and has earned praise from critics like Kingcast co-host Scott Wampler, who compared The Wolf of Snow Hollow to An American Werewolf in London. “Wall-to-wall strong performances (everyone’s good but Cumming’s the standout), strong werewolf attack sequences, a fun mystery satisfyingly resolved,” Wampler tweeted.
Wall-to-wall strong performances (everyone's good but Cumming's the standout), strong werewolf attack sequences, a fun mystery satisfyingly resolved. Did I mention how funny it is? If you're wondering: WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW hits OnDemand on the 9th. Rent it.

Rotten Tomatoes’ Simon Thompson also had praise for the movie, calling it “flawless riot of a movie from start to finish.”
The Wolf of Snow Hollow premiered at #BeyondFest last night. Jim Cummings’ latest is one of my top three films of 2020. A flawless riot of a movie from start to finish, hits all the right beats and toys beautifully with the tropes that infuse it. Lands Oct 9. #TheWolfOfSnowHollow pic.twitter.com/zrc7k3XQD8
