Winter Kills is an often overlooked, cult classic, black comedy conspiracy movie. The plot is a thinly veiled take on the JFK assassination and what may happen 19 years after that day. With a cast that includes Jeff Bridges, John Huston, Eli Wallach, Anthony Perkins, Toshiro Mifune, Sterling Hayden and Elizabeth Taylor in varying supporting roles and cameo's there more than enough star power to keep viewers interested even when the plot becomes completely convoluted and confusing. Huston in particular is fantastic as the patriarch of the family with more than a few secrets to hide. As noted the plot is a lot to take in with varying twists and turns and more dark secrets that is really necessary. It is pretty funny and I'm guessing a second viewing will make it easier to understand exactly what's going on. I'll be re-visiting it in the near future, there's something intoxicating about Winter Kills.
