Most recent

The Gift of Peace2022

Fred Gerber is the steady hand behind the camera on six Hallmark films, and his comfort zone is the cozy mystery rather than the meet-cute. His sharpest result is Mystery 101: Killer Timing from 2021, which at 7.4 sits well above the rest, with Ruby Herring Mysteries: Her Last Breath from 2019 a few notches lower at 6.6. Small towns do most of the work in his films, four of the six unfolding on quiet, walkable streets where everyone has a secret. Christmas turns up only twice, and his best holiday outing is The Christmas Promise at 6.7. He directs straight down the middle, no winking, no high-concept swings. If you like a Hallmark whodunit that trusts its puzzle and keeps the snow tasteful, his work has been quietly dependable.
