There’s no way to escape or keep warm in CENTIGRADE, which is set to bring you blood-freezing thrills later this summer.
IFC Midnight opens CENTIGRADE August 28 at drive-in theaters and on VOD and all digital platforms. Inspired by actual events, it was directed by Brendan Walsh from a script he wrote with Daley Nixon; Genesis Rodriguez and Vincent Piazza star. The synopsis: “In 2002, a young American couple, Matthew [Piazza] and Naomi [Rodriguez], travel to the arctic mountains of Norway. After pulling over during a snowstorm, they wake up trapped in their SUV, buried underneath layers of snow and ice. As if the stakes aren’t high enough, Naomi is eight months pregnant in their frozen prison. With few resources, a dwindling food supply, and nothing but time, tension, blame, and personal secrets bubble to the surface. Matthew and Naomi realize they must work together to survive in a crippling battle against the elements, hypothermia, disturbing hallucinations, and plunging temperatures reaching as low as -30C.”
