Snow Falls

A group of friends -- couple Andy and Em, Kit, River, and Eden -- travel to the fictional ski town of Snow Falls to stay at the remote cabin owned by River's family for New Year's Eve. They initially plan to stay only overnight, but a sudden winter storm forces them to stay longer than expected. Though they are initially unconcerned, drinking and partying as usual, the situation becomes more serious when the power in the cabin goes out and does not return as expected. As the days pass, the situation becomes more desperate. Low on food and firewood, Eden, who is studying to be a doctor, advises the group to ration their supplies, bundle up on clothing, and avoid sleeping, as they might become hypothermic and perish in the cold. However, this causes the group to gradually begin hallucinating, eventually convincing River and Em that the snow falling outside is poisoned, and they are all infected by virtue of having consumed it while partying earlier. As a result, River empties their vehicle of gasoline, convinced that they need to contain their "sickness," while Em wanders outside without outerwear and later opens up her stomach with a shard of a broken mirror, believing that she can get the "sickness" out, though she survives. Andy begins chopping wooden furniture in the cabin for firewood to help warm the severely wounded Em, which River had been adamant against doing since the house is full of antiques. This causes a fight between them, and River accidentally kills Andy when the latter hits his head. Realizing how dire the situation is, Kit volunteers to head out into the storm to find help. As River and Eden prepare hot water, a delirious and underclothed Em decides to try to see how much gasoline the car has left, but dies of exposure shortly after entering it. Devastated, River and Eden try to set out after Kit, only to discover that he had died of exposure shortly after leaving the house. The two return to the cabin, unsure how they will survive if the storm continues. River hallucinates Eden seducing him and strips off his clothes before taking a cold shower, which kills him. As a frantic Eden finds his body, the power to the cabin returns. Horrified, she realizes that the entire group was only a few hours away from salvation, and she waits outside as emergency services arrive.
