This is a cheaply-filmed movie that is competently written and directed. The plot keeps you watching but the execution leaves you wanting. You need actors who can elicit empathy from the viewer; there is little of that here. Simply put, the lead actors lack the charisma needed to involve us in an otherwise serviceable film. Worth a watch as long as your expectations are held in check. Enjoy the scenery; it's the true star of this middling venture.

Not a bad show but let down by actors with the presence of boiled potatoes.
Let her go
Winter metaphorically is the final stages of life. In a small town, the older folks who have dementia are being euthanized by a serial euthanizer. Detective Ryan Barnes (Matt Hookings) is on the case. His wife is in a coma from a drunk driver who is also the prime suspect.
We do get to see the killer who is thin and runs like a gazelle. The film is a slow-moving drama about "letting go." The problem is the message was lost or confounded by design. This is more on the order of a Lifetime film.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Been generous cos of the beautiful landscapes of Lynton and Lynmouth....
Wud love to retire at a place like this. The film is about a detective who's wife is on a life support cos of a drunken driver. The detective is chasing a serial killer who's killing dementia patients. Elderly dementia patients? Come on man. The whodunnit becomes very predictable, the motive too becomes very easy to guess. The ending was kinda lame too. The problem with the film apart from being formulaic is that it moves with a very slow pace without any suspense or tension. The 80 mins runtime becomes too long cos of the non engaging script. Well it cud have been a good 45 mins short film or an episode. Nonetheless, the cinematography is good n the effort behind the film is a sincere one.
