“Do you think it’s possible for the things we do in our dreams to change our lives while we’re awake?” I’d say no, but that’s just my guess? Gravitas has revealed an official US trailer for an indie horror thriller from Canada titled Wintertide, directed by John Barnard. This premiered at various festivals throughout 2023, including at the Brussels, Cinequest, Sci-Fi London, Palm Beach, and Dances With Films Festivals. Set in an isolated northern city battling a plague of depression that mutates it’s victims into zombie-like automatons, a woman discovers the key to immunity lies within her dreams. Beth is a volunteer watchperson in this city fighting a plague of depression that transforms the few remaining residents. Will her own dreams be enough to sustain her? Niamh Carolan stars as Beth, along with Solange Sookram, Jeremy Walmsley, Jesse Nobess, Colleen Furlan, Darcy Fehr, John B. Lowe, and Onalee Ames. I dig the dark, cold, snowy setting of this film, but the rest of it seems pretty dull and repetitive. Horror fans should take a look anyway.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for John Barnard’s Wintertide, direct from YouTube:

Beth (Niamh Carolan) is a volunteer watchperson in an isolated city that’s battling a plague transforming the few remaining residents into empty, zombie-like automatons. She discovers that by entering an alternative dimension through her own dreams, she’s able to stave off the illness during the long, possibly endless winter. But will her power be enough to sustain her? Wintertide is directed by Canadian producer / filmmaker John Barnard, director of the film Menorca, and also the docs The Sheepdogs Have at It and Bachman, plus many other shorts and true crime series previously (“Targeted for Murder” most recently). The screenplay is written by John Barnard and Carrie-May Siggins. Produced by John Barnard and Tony Wosk. This initially premiered at the 2023 Canadian & Brussels Film Festivals earlier this year. Gravitas will debut Barnard’s Wintertide direct-to-VOD in the US starting on November 14th, 2023 this fall. Creepy?
