Blood in the Snow 2024
A diabetic grad student fights to survive a deadly cat and mouse game in Pins and Needles. Max (Chelsea Clark) is a biology grad student, who is driving home from a retreat with her friend Harold (Daniel Gravelle), though warning signs go off after Harold also offers a ride to the shady-looking Keith (Damian Romeo). After taking an off-the-grid detour, Harold blows his tires in front of the house of yuppie couple Frank (Ryan McDonald) and Emily (Kate Corbett), who turn out to be a pair of blood-harvesting serial killers.
Pins and Needles Synopsis
Pins and Needles is a cat and mouse thriller written and directed by James Villeneuve (Vicious Fun). The film stars Chelsea Clark (The Protector, Scared Shitless!) as diabetic grad student Max, who finds herself forced to sneak around the house of serial killers Frank and Emily, played by Damian Romeo (Becky) and Kate Corbett (The Righteous), after she accidentally leaves behind her insulin after making a run for it. Max must use her intuition if she hopes to escape this psychotic couple.
My Thoughts on Pins and Needles
Pins and Needles is a well-constructed survival horror film, which is more about tense stealth moments, rather than frequent jump scares. A Max enters into survival mode, the film utilizes minimal dialogue from Chelsea Clark, as she observes this rich serial killer couple, who are using the blood of their victims to create wellness products. The film builds up to a very satisfying conclusion, with Pin and Needles ultimately being a fun survival horror film.
