Frozen Backroads Turn Deadly in Creepy Thriller ‘Delivery Run’

A new survival horror film called Delivery Run is set to hit UK digital platforms on 6 October 2025, bringing a brutal and relentless road chase to viewers. Directed and co-written by Joey Palmroos, the film first grabbed attention at Grimmfest 2024, where it premiered to strong reactions. It transports audiences to the frozen backroads of Minnesota, where a delivery driver fights not only for his life, but for redemption in the face of chaos.

Alexander Arnold leads the cast as Lee, a delivery driver wrestling with crippling gambling debts and threats from gangsters at home. Desperate, Lee returns to what he thinks will be a routine delivery run, hoping the extra cash will buy him breathing room. Instead his life erupts into a nightmare when a petty road-rage incident with a snow plough escalates into a terrifying game of cat and mouse. Pursued by a homicidal plough driver across desolate highways, abandoned truck stops and frozen rivers, Lee must rely on a near empty phone battery, his battered delivery car and sheer grit to survive. As he fights for every mile, he’s also forced to confront the consequences of his past misdeeds.

The supporting cast includes Liam James Collins, Arthur Sylense, Nadine Higgin and Jussi Lampi, who plays the hulking antagonist behind the snow plough. With writing credit shared by Palmroos and Anders Holmes, Delivery Run combines black humour with taut suspense, channeling the single-vehicle terror tradition with a sharp indie sensibility. Production took place earlier in 2024, principally in a remote and unforgiving environment that amplifies the film’s sense of isolation.

Shot in Finland though set in Minnesota, Delivery Run leans into environmental threat as much as human menace, with cold climate and emptiness magnifying Lee’s dilemma. Plaion Pictures handles domestic digital distribution, promising viewers an atmospheric thriller for those nights when power dips and shadows loom large. Delivery Run combines chase horror with moral reckoning, making the menace not just external but internal: Lee is as much his own worst enemy as the snowplough driver.

For fans of road-based terror, films that trap a flawed protagonist on a high speed edge, and those who appreciate survival horror in harsh terrain, Delivery Run looks poised to deliver both thrills and introspection. Check out the trailer below.
