Brendan Walsh has been the second unit director and assistant director in several popular films like The Wrestler (2008), A Perfect Getaway (2009), and The Bourne Legacy (2012), and some TV series, until he decided to debut as a feature film with Centigrade (2020). The movie centers a married couple who find themselves trapped in their frozen vehicle after a blizzard and struggle to survive amid plunging temperatures and unforeseen obstacles.
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?
The screenplay for Centigrade (2020) has been written by the director Brendan Walsh together with Daley Nixon and it’s starred by Vincent Piazza and Genesis Rodriguez with the participation of Mavis Simpson-Ernst.
Centigrade (2020) is having a limited release in the USA on August 28, 2020, and will be available on DVD on the 31st of August 2020. Here you can watch the official trailer for the movie.
