A Snowstorm, a Debt, and a Plow from Hell
Every so often a trailer arrives that makes you do a double take — not because of star power, not because of glossy effects, but because it feels pulled from a VHS shelf you thought no longer existed. Joey Palmroos’ Delivery Run is that kind of throwback fever dream. A snow plow truck stalking a desperate delivery driver across Minnesota’s frozen wastelands… it’s both absurd and terrifying, a grindhouse concept that feels at home beside the scrappier, nastier horror fare of the late ’80s and early ’90s.
And the setup? Brutal in its simplicity. Lee (Alexander Arnold), a delivery driver drowning in gambling debt, takes to the road in search of quick cash — only to cross paths with a hulking snowplow operator whose rage turns a bad night into a fight for survival.
The Trailer: Bonkers, Cold, and Relentless
The newly released UK trailer (Plaion Pictures, via YouTube) doesn’t waste time on subtlety. A food run spirals into chaos, headlights tearing through icy darkness, engines screaming as if the machines themselves were possessed. One moment you’re watching a road-rage spat, the next you’re in a snow-slashed death match where metal outweighs flesh.
What gives Delivery Run its bite isn’t just the premise — it’s the energy. Palmroos shoots the Midwest backroads like a frozen purgatory, where truck stops and river crossings become gauntlets. The trailer is high-energy, borderline bonkers, and that’s precisely what sets it apart from the polished horror factory output we’ve grown numb to.
Behind the Wheel: Joey Palmroos’ Second Lap
For Finnish director Joey Palmroos, Delivery Run marks his sophomore feature after The Outlaws, along with several shorts. Co-written with Anders Holmes, the film is clearly a low-budget passion project — you can practically hear the clatter of chains on the tires, the exhaustion of crew fighting the elements. These aren’t digital snow filters; this is the real icy grind.
Produced by Palmroos alongside Pekka Ollula, the film leans into grit over gloss. Horror often thrives where resources are thin but imagination runs hot. Palmroos knows this — and if Delivery Run lands, it could earn him cult recognition beyond Finland.
Cast and Carnage
Alexander Arnold anchors the chaos as Lee, a man whose own reckless choices bleed into his nightmare on the road. He’s joined by Liam James Collins, Arthur Sylense, Jussi Lampi, and Nadine Higgin. No A-listers, no safety net — just faces you don’t quite know, which makes the danger feel sharper.
There’s also a sense, teased in the trailer, that the snowplow driver isn’t merely a faceless killer but a mirror of Lee’s own downward spiral. The madness might not just be in the machine.
Release Date and Where to Watch
Confirmed: Plaion Pictures will release Delivery Run in the UK on VOD starting October 6, 2025. As of now, no U.S. release date has been announced. Horror fans stateside — you’ll have to keep your eye on distributor updates.
5 Things That Stand Out from the ‘Delivery Run’ Trailer
A throwback grindhouse vibe
It feels ripped from a dusty VHS case you’d sneak-watch at a sleepover.
Snowbound horror setting
The Minnesota wilderness becomes both stage and weapon — bleak, endless, and merciless.
The absurd villain choice
A snowplow as the killer’s tool? Ridiculous. Also terrifying.
Character flaws baked in
Lee isn’t just unlucky — he’s complicit in his own downfall. Gambling debts, bad choices, desperation.
UK release date confirmed
October 6, 2025. Mark it. Beyond that, we wait.
Final Take
Sometimes horror doesn’t need prestige polish or metaphoric ambition. Sometimes it just needs a truck, a maniac, and a storm. Delivery Run looks like that kind of movie — unpretentious, manic, and sharp enough to leave scars. Whether it ends up cult-beloved or quickly forgotten, this trailer has already done its job: it made me grin, wince, and mutter, “Okay, I need to see this.”
What about you — would you dare take the ride?
