Cold Feet

I see the cast of this movie has posted their reviews lol.

This might be the first real review.

Well not a review, just a warning to anyone thinking about watching this: don't. It's not a "mixed bag"; it's a bag of piss and vinegar....and bad acting... and no budget... and a script written by a buzzfeed editor.

A group of ex college buddies rent a house to give their soon to be married friend a last bachelor blow out. The men haven't seen each other in a while, and quickly find they are at varying stages of success and maturity in their personal lives. The bromance ends for good when a stripper arrives, and two of the.men in the party suddenly begin telling the truth about themselves. And then, as you have seen in a dozen other movies, the stripper dies.

In this movie, the screenwriter knows you have seen the dead stripper trope in a dozen other movies, and uses it to subvert the viewer's expectations in much the same way SCREAM subverts the slasher trope. It works in parts of the plot creating a little confusion, a few laughs and a strange movie.

The movie suffers from mediocre acting and uneven pacing, but I enjoyed the overall goofiness of a horror comedy.

A unique take on the possession genre, with some laughs mixed in with a twisty, crazy plot. You definitely haven't seen a film like this one, so if you appreciate originality in a genre that struggles to find new ways to tell a story, you'll dig this one. As you watch, you'll see an homage or two from past horror films, making it even more fun and unexpected.

Cold Feet is a comedy horror film where a group of friends gathers together for a bachelor party only to become fodder for a vengeful cuckold ghost. It's funny, irreverent, light, and supported by a terrific cast of goofballs. If you're looking for a few chuckles mixed with some serious moments, Cold Feet will keep you amused.

Cold Feet is my first exposure to the work of producer-director Brad Ellis and writer-director-actor Allan C. Gardner. I received a festival screener by way of October Coast promotions as a critic at B&S About Movies. While B&S reviews new films, those reviews are mostly for low-budget indies.

This particular indie is a well-written not-sure-where-this-is-going surprise. If you mixed Judd Apatow's raunch with Sam Raimi's cabins and tossed in a few Dario Argento-red herrings, you'd be inside the cabin environs of this, the seventh writing-directing effort of Allan C. Gardner. Only not as tasteless-funny as an Apatow flick and not as bloody-campy as a Raimi flick. There's loads of potential exhibited in the frames to encourage one to visit the Gardner-Ellis back catalog as well as looking forward to their newer films.
