Intruder Films announces the November 10, 2026 release of A Cold Season, a new psychological horror feature written and directed by Christian Jude Grillo and produced by Andrew Hunsicker. Released domestically by MVD Entertainment Group, the Christmas-set thriller follows an isolated man whose quiet winter existence conceals something far darker as grief, murder and a mysterious double increasingly blur the boundary between reality and madness.
Set during Christmas amid the stark beauty of Pennsylvania’s snow-covered mountains, A Cold Season is a character-driven psychological horror film exploring grief, isolation, guilt and the dangerous stories people can create when reality becomes too painful to confront.
At the center of the film is a lonely man living an increasingly isolated existence as winter closes in around him. What initially appears to be a quiet life begins revealing something much darker: a string of killings, a deteriorating grip on reality and a sinister double who seems determined to push him further toward violence and madness.
The result is a psychological horror story in which the audience is continually forced to question what is real, what exists only inside the protagonist’s mind—and whether there is still a meaningful distinction between the two.
Christian Jude Grillo, Writer/Director commented,
“We wanted winter to feel like another character in the film. The landscape is beautiful, but there’s also something incredibly isolating about it. That became the perfect environment for Jacob’s state of mind.”
The film marks the third feature completed by Grillo and Hunsicker through Pennsylvania-based Intruder Films in just over two years, following the science-fiction horror film Intruder and psychological thriller Neighbor.
