Cold Storage Ratings & Reviews
- inta943 days agovery absurd, gross, hilarious, and fun! totally worth a watch.
- ch7leach3 days agoRather dull, boring story line and rather poor acting. Hoped more from it
- anthonys16723 February 2026Good film
- sinrise16 February 2026A bit of a return to an earlier time of filmmaking when characters had reasons to do the things they did and the story came before any message. This could have easily tried to be the next disaster movie blockbuster but instead it goes for a much smaller in scale but high in stakes story and it was legitimately fun to watch. This movie could have come out in the 80s and be almost entirely unchanged. It's gross but not gory and what gore there was had a reason to be there. This movie is proof that good writing still exists in Hollywood.
- Kaleb Kellerman4 days agoI really liked it
- SirMonkalot6 March 2026Loved the vibe of this, went from super serious to super silly. A fun B movie horror comedy! The cast was great, awesome choice of actors. It’s nothing that hasn’t been done before but I like the way they approached it. Joe Keery & Georgina Campbell have great chemistry and need to be in more movies together. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the shitty CG.
- staffm86 March 2026Is it an Oscar winner? No. Was it fun as heck? Absolutely! It was over the top in parts but I went in expecting that so it was a good watch!
- James Rae6 days agoVery ordinary
- Doc Worm29 March 20262009 straight to DVD vibes. Wanted to like this one because it seems like a fun enough concept and has a solid leading cast. Unfortunately, their talents are wasted here. Mostly down to poor direction it seems. Script seems punchy enough but the delivery is not great. Editing, pacing and inconsistent CGI do a lot to hold it back as well. There’s some scenes that are independently very cool. Solid opening, and there’s a scene showing how the infection spreads. Wildly inconsistent overall.
- Carl Lawrence23 March 2026Fun little film. Never going to win any awards but it should do reasonably well on TV/Streaming. Not much of a plot but enough there for a comedic TV series premise.
- gforce247 days agoGreat fun movie.
- Shaydeknight20 March 2026Cold Storage is a reminder that a film doesn't need scale to create stakes. It leans into a smaller, more contained story, and benefits from it. It certainly had a bit of an 80s vibe to it, just with better effects. The script is actually decent, and the characters act with clear motivation, with a narrative that moves forward because of their decisions, not because of some nonsensical plot requirement. There is a deliberate rejection of familiar tropes. The single mother is not reduced to a stereotype but written as capable and intellectually grounded. The ex-con, instead of leaning into aggression, is talkative and emotionally connected. These choices aren't framed as morality lessons or woke checkboxes, which is why they work. The film avoids turning its characters into vehicles for messaging and simply lets them function within the story. The cast supports this well. Liam Neeson brings his usual presence without overwhelming the film, and the ensemble holds together with different roles and backgrounds that don't feel engineered. Joe Keery does a competent job, but the standout is Georgina Campbell, who carries a natural, unforced rhythm that helps anchor the tone. There's an ease and continuity in her performance style that recalls her work in "Hang the DJ" on Black Mirror, and which contributed to making it one of the best episodes of that show. It was also a treat to see Vanessa Redgrave in a film, I've been a fan of hers for decades. Visually, the film is uneven. The CGI lacks weight at times, which undercuts the threat, but the practical effects are more convincing and give the infected a physical presence that the digital work does not always match. The contrast is noticeable, though not fatal. What ultimately holds the film together is restraint. It could have been pushed into spectacle or loaded with virtue signalling, but it avoids both. Instead, it focuses on telling a coherent story with characters that behave like people rather than symbols. It's a sad commentary on the times that this alone makes it stand out more than it should.
- mfasul7 days agoUnexpectedly good movie. Bacteria are the monsters in this movie which is a new and interesting twist.
- Mark7 days agoAn average film, Still watched it
- Tony G9 March 2026Watch it if you want
