Thinking back to his first meeting with Medora, Russell deduces that she's hiding in a hot spring a few hours from the town which she described as "close as I can get to warmth."

Netflix Original Hold The Dark is a moody, atmospheric film, clinging to its interesting premise while revelling in its slow pace for much of the film’s 2 hour run time. Impressive performances from Jeffrey Wright and Alexander Skarsgård help the film stand out but bursts of explosive action contrast harshly with ...
