First Snow

First Snow (2006) is an American thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Mark Fergus and starring Guy Pearce.

Jimmy is a small-time salesman who keeps moving forward and never looks back. When his car breaks down by the roadside, he kills time with a local fortune teller. The man rattles off a few accurate near-future predictions, then stops cold and refuses to continue. Jimmy pushes until the answer comes: he won't survive the first snowfall. He laughs it off. Then the smaller predictions start landing one by one.

Fergus later wrote Children of Men and the first Iron Man, and this debut already shows his instinct for quiet dread. J.K. Simmons and William Fichtner give the supporting cast real weight. Watch First Snow (2006) online on iFILM.
