About this movie

A killer stalks a remote island in this edge-of-your-seat thriller starring Patricia Clarkson, Scott Speedman, and Tim Roth. Helen (Clarkson), a recently widowed doctor, returns home to her isolated cottage off the Canadian coast to find a stranger with a gunshot wound (Speedman) hiding out from two men intent on killing him. As an ominous storm brews outside, trapping the pair on the island, they must join forces to survive a harrowing night of terror, while navigating the mounting attraction growing between them. Full of hairpin plot twists and unrelenting tension, October Gale is a grippingly suspenseful spine-chiller.

Ratings and reviews

This movie is terrible. Could have been a good story but the writers failed to get it there. Not sure if they were trying to make a bad romance movie or a worse suspense movie. The sexual undertones with a much younger male while the main character is struggling with the loss of her husband is way awkward. I'm not sure if I'm more unhappy with the wasted 5 bucks or 91 minutes of my life I spent watching this movie.

The description was misleading because I was waiting for the intensity to build but the film stayed slow. Beautiful scenery though

Poorly made. Seen this same scenario in other movies. Lacks originality
