Wintertide

Beth, a volunteer watch person of an isolated northern city batles a plague that transforms the few remaining residents into empty, zombie-like automatons. She discovers that by entering an alternatve dimension through her own dreams, she’s able to stave of the illness during the long, possibly endless winter. But will her power be enough to sustain her?

Directed by John Barnard, Wintertide leans on a strong ensemble — Niamh Carolan, Solange Sookram, Jeremy Walmsley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2023.
