 What's going on everyone? Welcome to a brand new movie review. Today I'm discussing Winter Ridge. Winter Ridge is the brand new British independent film, which you guys know, I love my independent films. Brace Center runs The Detective, who after dealing with harsh events with his wife being in a coma, also has to deal with a serial killer in his small town. Concept for me intrigues me. I like kind of serial killer vibes, and I like those kind of serial killer films where it's about the detective versus serial killer. Obviously we got this with the snowman last year. Didn't work out, but I found this film to be a better version of the snowman just with obviously not dealing with the snowman aspects, but it had that same tone and vibe that I was looking for in that film last year. Being an independent film, this film looks gorgeous. Like I mean damn, the cinematographer was on point for every single sequence in this film. It really felt like a bigger budget thriller. That's where I kind of get to the story of this film. The story and the script is very superb in its aspects, and I love what it did with those relevant aspects. How it's building up the tension. It always was a slow pace. It never got off that slow burn or anything. And it always felt like it was cohesive and consensitive, with also making you intrigued and interested to every single thing that was going on within the film. Times sometimes don't work for independent films, but for some reason this film made it work. A lot of the reasons I do think go to all the performances in here. Matt who plays the main character in here is superb. He's great and he's very a compelling character who has a different multiple layers that we get to go through as we see how he has to deal with the effects of his wife, how he has to deal with the effects of his job and other elements around the town. It's nice to see how he's being able to perform all these other aspects of acting and I appreciated that. He gave a really good performance that makes me gravitate to his character to care about his character. Also the direction was really solid. I mean the whole film comes together over and under a director and the director does a really nice job in this film as well. I won't say this is a perfect film at all. I do think there are some cons to the film and I couldn't help but imagine this film being better as a miniseries in fact. I feel like Winter Ridge sounds like an awesome TV show. Maybe down the future they could put this into a Netflix space or some sorts. I do think the story that it's telling would have fit better in a 10 episode arc of a series and maybe kind of going from each season to be in a different mystery kind of get that thing titled Winter Ridge with this kind of different mystery edging in it and I think that because all the characters in here are very well done. They're all pretty damn good acted, but my one con with each character is I didn't know much about them. It brings you those typical things that you would understand about each character which not falling into cliches which thank god it didn't. It actually worked on those cliches and worked and made them better but I felt like the film if into a 10 series arc or maybe just a little bit longer of a story I could have found myself getting into each and every character especially between the main character and his wife. I do feel like if there was a more structured thing with seeing them together I probably would have cared more about her being in the coma not saying I didn't care about them because of the performances being so well but I feel like the writing could have been a little bit better in that part of making me care about them. It kind of goes to where I just feel like this movie could have been turned into a miniseries and probably would have made for a better overall story structure. I think the director did a pretty damn good job with the script and what he was giving. I think the performances in here are pretty damn solid too and I even have to go as far to say that cinematography again was on point. Overall other than just the story structure and I feeling like it could have been longer or maybe adapted into a miniseries I do think this film is pretty solid and I think if you're an independent lover I think you should check out this film.
