Dead Cold (1995) As is unsubtly implied by the title, this is a landlocked rip-off of
Dead Calm. The first
hour is an exact recreation as screenwriter Chris Mulkey and his wife
Lysette Anthony retreat to a cabin in the wilds to get over a trauma,
and are latched onto by a smooth-talking redneck (Peter Dobson) - a
murderous psychopath. At the point where Dobson leaves Mulkey for dead
in the snow and heads back to the cabin to rape Anthony, the plot diverges
from our expectations though not in an especially interesting manner.
