Premise:
A group of college kids get stranded on a mountain during a snowstorm. They take refuge in an abandoned mental hospital not knowing that it is home to a group of cannibals.

The origin tale of cannibals One Eye, Saw Tooth, and Three Fingers is about what one might expect. Plenty of gore and stupidity.

The Sinner, Season 1 (2017)

Starring: Jessica Biel, Bill Pullman, Christopher Abbot, Jacob Pitts, Abby Miller, Kathryn Erbe, Nadia Alexander,


Premise:
A seemingly ordinary housewife commits a violent murder one day on the beach and the local detective believes there is far more to the case then what appears.

My Take:
The story and performances are enough to get the viewer attention from the beginning. And while the story gets wrapped up rather neatly by the end it is a head scratching journey.
