Watch Cold Storage For Free

Let's be realistic.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie is less about being a horror splatter-fest, and more along the lines of "How to become a zombie bride." (In fact, the one person viewers KNOW is "really quite sincerely dead" by the end is the victim of the opening, Hedwig-induced car crash.) Otherwise, writer\director Tony Elwood provides a level of horror genre restraint almost on par with thriller classics from yesteryear, say Hitchcock's PSYCHO. Nick Searcy, as necromancing groom Clive Mercer, shows that he's ready to step into the Anthony Perkins role (hotelier Norman Bates) when the next PSYCHO remake is made. Particularly intriguing are Clive's dental hygiene habits. Brett Gentile nearly matches Searcy in his portrayal of Clive's nemesis, the even coarser Luther Spoole. While Jeffrey Pillars' caricature of a Southern sheriff is strictly by the book of Hollywood stereotypes, and Matt Keeslar joins Joelle Carter in being fairly bland as the clueless outsiders on the search for a missing loved one in the back country, bit players such as John W. Love, Jr. (Jerome), Rebecca Koon (Jewell), and Gina Stewart (Rhonda) shine in their parts with a light that often eludes even the leads in low-budget, little-seen horror flicks such as COLD STORAGE. Perhaps the producers' most questionable decision is to use Matthew Stewart's lament "Take Me" as the closing credits song, with lyrics such as "I'm prepared to prostitute my name; all I ask is 15 minutes' fame." Most of the people connected to this movie seemed to have a very opposite attitude; this is NOT Paris Hilton's HOUSE OF WAX remake (though it probably cost 100 times less).

Do not mess with those back wood inbreed mumble mouth Hillbillies, being out of touch with reality can mess up your social skills to say the least. Our main man Clive (Nick Searcy) is one out of touch and crazy boy and he has love on his mind. Nick Searcy who plays Clive is 100% convincing as a twisted redneck freak and had me squirming in my chair and thinking this is one nasty foul smelling odd ball. When a missing young lady's wimp of a boy friend and bad to the bone sister go looking for her they find Clive in all his sick glory and the fight is on. Good low budget movie with a group of fine actors make this worth a look, heck you will be planing your next vacation around Clive's Bed and Breakfast.

We have always noticed Mr. Searcy, and love him in Justified. But this movie is the absolute best performance lately by anyone in any genre. The story was presented beautifully for a horror movie, and kept us guessing. Loved the townspeople, who performed outside the normal stereotype of southern hicks. Cannot believe that a movie released years ago we finally see on cable, and it is fantabulous! For any true horror movie fan - who loves everything from the 1930's to now, serious and campy, this is one of the best movies ever. Not even sure you can call it horror, more thriller and suspense. The most horrible part of the movie, we agree with another reviewer, is the Sheriff sucking eggs through a straw! A masterful creation by writers, directors, cast, and crew. You should all be very proud of this production!!!

Clive, a deranged back-woods type, finds whom he believes to be the girl of his dreams. There's one little snag. She's dead from a car accident. So naturally he won't let this little thing put a damper on their happiness together and he'll do anything to make his budding love last. But here comes the deceased girl's sister, leave it to a broad to ruin true love.This film was boring and a chore to sit through for the most part. It was reasonably well-acted, but 1974's "Deranged" was a much better similar film. Nothing to go out of your way to watch, but luckily it's on Instant Netflix so I didn't.
