A soon-to-be stepmom is snowed in with her fiancé's two children at a remote holiday village. Just as relations begin to thaw between the trio, some strange and frightening events take place.
This movie contains 56 potentially triggering events.
Main character's father led a suicide cult with her in it. Only in flashback/video/dialogue do we hear about it, but later actions from the main character in the movie also can reflect her treatment as a child. Basically, not graphic but is a theme.
yes, the main character Grace was the victim of a cult, and due to her trauma and mental illness being abused/taken advantage of by the children she ends up doing the same cult-like behaviors
The female protagonist has an assortment of pills, implied to be for poor health. Later it's implied that she was unknowingly being given sleeping pills by other characters.
A woman at the beginning of the movie has a glass of wine before SPOILER:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Committing suicide
Yes. A dog is left outside during a storm/blizzard and freezes to death. It is not overly gruesome, although the body is shown a few times at the following places: 1hr 21 mins, 1hr 24 mins, 1hr 34 mins
Same scene as the drowning nightmare. Also the kid said he had a nightmare where they died because of suffocation. Also there’s a scene with a hanging, (SPOILER) although the kid isin’t suffocating, it can be a trigger.
no one dies because of fire but a character forces themselves to kneel on burning coals in front of the fireplace. their burned knees are seen afterwards.
SPOILER: the movie ends with the suggestion that the kids get shot. This isin’t seen on screen, nor do you hear a sound effect of a gunshot. The movie closes with a shot on a gun.
Yes.
SPOILER ALERT:
Near the beginning of the movie the mother of the two children (two of the main characters) shoots herself in the head after being told by her husband that they should finalize their divorce. It is very sudden and there is no buildup or sign that is going to happen, making it very jarring.
The cheating happens before the events of the film, but the fallout shown in the film may still be upsetting to some. The father has been having an affair for some time and his mistress is one of the main characters. The mother commits suicide when the father decides to finalize their divorce so that he can marry his mistress. The children are notably upset by the affair and its effects on their family, and they are cold toward their father and outright hostile towards the mistress.
This comment is spoiler heavy!!
A character kills him self by shooting herself with a pistol through her head. Blood and gore is seen. Further on in the lodge you can see the effects of the cabin fever, almost all jumpscares in the lodge are results of nightmares and hallucinations. In the lodge there is a jumpscare where suddenly there’s a loud noise and a person is seen, this happens instantly and unsuspecting. Further there’s a jumpscare with a boy who hungs himself and near the end a little girl gets scared by a woman. This also happens instantly.
SPOILER!!!!!!!!!! due to trauma, hallucinations and gaslighting, the stepmom kills her husband and it's implied that she also kills her two step children
Yes, a few examples are (spoilers): a child grieving over her dead mother and yelling for her dad to get out of the room, son lashing out at the dad and blaming his new wife for the death of the mom, the new wife’s (grace) pills go missing and she starts showing erratic behavior such as sleepwalking more frequently and walking outside when it’s freezing/directly after a blizzard, leading to her getting mild frostbite.
Yes. A character is dragged down under the water by someone during a dream. That same character also falls into freezing water in real life after the ice over a lake breaks, but is able to get out and the camera never pans underwater.
When Grace is in the shower we can see her naked body through the shower curtain and when she steps out her breasts are exposed. Around the 40 minute mark
1. two of the characters are implied to have sex
2. a character is spied on while showering, it's not specified whether intentions were sexual but it can be assumed, during this shower scene brief nudity is shown also
SPOILERS: Yes, the movie ends with the children’s parents both dead (one by suicide and one murdered), Grace has been gaslit to the point of insanity, and the two children are likely killed.
Yes, there’s blood/gore.
*The mom shoots her self in the head, which is bloody
*The dad gets shot in the head, which is also bloody
*The main character, Grace has burn wounds to her face and legs
