Cold River
Based on the novel Winterkill, by William Judson, Cold River is the story of an Adirondack guide who takes his young daughter and step-son on a long camping trip in the fall of 1932. When winter strikes unexpectedly early (a natural phenomenon known as a 'winterkill' - so named because the animals are totally unprepared for a sudden, early winter, and many freeze or starve to death), a disastrous turn of events leaves the two children to find their own way home without food, or protection from the elements.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Cold River is a solid entry rated 7.3/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A classic from 1982. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
