On 2010-06-27 Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein, under the rubble wrote: Mary Steenburgen (TIME AFTER TIME) plays multiple roles in this somewhat clunky thriller. Her various characters face off against the nefarious duo of Roddy McDowall (PLANET OF THE APES, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE) and Jan Rubes (BLOOD RELATIONS) as scheming sociopaths. While DEAD OF WINTER isn´t the best suspense story ever committed to film, it is a lot of fun to watch. Everyone devours the scenery, w/ McDowall hamming it up to beat the band! Rubes gets his chance to shine during the finale, especially during his death scene! His histrionics surpass even the great Bill T. Shatner! Amazing!.... And summed up by saying Body Triple.... Currently Dead of Winter has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
