The Ice Retreat

Described as a “spine-tingling thriller” set in the world of controversial wellness treatments — ideal for fans of psychological or atmospheric suspense.

HEALER? 

Meet Hollie Jenson, presenter of the smash-hit docu-series Bad Medicine, which exposes the perils of extreme therapies. Her next target: a new retreat run by wellness guru Ariel Rose, who claims to have discovered the secret to healing pain through her three-day ice rebirth treatment. LIAR? Acting on a mother's plea to find her son — who vanished soon after his stay — Hollie ventures into the Swiss mountains where the retreat occupies a former observatory. There she will search for the boy and hopes to expose Ariel as the charlatan she believes her to be. KILLER? As the isolation of the valley sets in, Hollie finds herself in an increasingly dangerous situation. There is much more to the retreat than meets the eye — and she must confront explosive secrets from her own past if she is to ever make it out alive.
