"You're not going to believe what happened at The Oak Room."
Boxlist takeA fantastical horror film that is small-scale, unsavoury and inventive. Best if you like the extraordinary over the everyday.

During a raging snowstorm, a drifter returns home to the blue-collar bar located in the remote Canadian town where he was born.
