The upcoming drama thriller titled 'Centrigrade' is a snow thriller for sure, with a couple stuck in a car buried under ice as they figure out how to get out as temperatures drastically drop.IFC Midnight has acquired the North American rights to this film. The trailer is quite promising, with what looks like most scenes are in the car that they are stuck in alone. Here is what we know of the film's upcoming release.

Release date

'Centigrade' releases on August 28, 2020.

Plot

The synopsis reads, " In 2002, a young American couple, Matthew and Naomi, 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, it is revealed that 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. Will they all make it out of this alive."

Creators

The movie is directed by Brendan Walsh with Walsh and Daley Nixon serving as writers. Lori Abrams, Gabriel Rosenzvit, and Jerry Topitzer serve as executive producers.

Trailer

The movie trailer presents the first moments of when the couple finds themselves under the ice in a car. Unable to get out and temperatures declining by the minute, the couple can't come to terms about how they are going to get out of this alive. The fact that it says that the narrative is based on real-life events, makes the trailer quite daunting.
