Shenanigans ensue when a massive blizzard isolates a small Vermont town, causing simmering resentments to boil over as the oddball townspeople are one by one picked off by a mysterious creature.
This movie contains 19 potentially triggering events.
The dog goes out to use the washroom at night on an extendable leash through the doggie door. There is tension on the leash and the leash breaks (implying the dog died). The female & male owner show the rest of the townspeople the severed leash the next day. The dog's body is not shown at any point.
One character is implied to possibly be high at two points in the movie, and is likely behaving abnormally and recklessly due to drugs at the latter point. Another character is given prescription painkillers after suffering an injury.
One character becomes paranoid and violent after drinking too much. Multiple characters drink to alleviate stress. There is no depiction of long-term alcohol abuse or alcoholism.
At the 24 minute mark, the retractable dog lead snaps back, through the doggie door. It is assumed (by the woman screaming and crying) that the dog has been killed. Nothing is ever shown. Just the empty dog lead.
One character falls into a fireplace after being struck on the head and rendered either unconscious or dead, it is unclear. There is only a brief shot of the individual catching fire.
A person is shooting a gun and a bright flash of light appears repeatedly. It happens several times in this movie. Later on flashes appear as past events are recalled by the characters and shown on screen as quick scenes.
During a large group argument, the gay couple are called "liberal snowflakes" and "city-slickers" and told they "don't belong here," but that is the worst of it
