The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015)  

   

The producers liked our cold climate as the location for this horror movie starring Emma Roberts. It is a tale of two girls who are left stranded at a prep school (an agricultural college close to Ottawa) when their parents do not come to get them for the winter break.
