A Cold Grave

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this particular film and found it to be exceptionally interesting. One aspect that stood out to me was the unique angle taken in presenting the storyline. The incorporation of various perspectives added depth to the narrative, making it a truly engaging experience. Additionally, the utilization of pop scares and special effects enhanced the overall viewing pleasure. The well-executed moments of suspense and the visual impact of the special effects contributed significantly to the film's overall appeal. Overall, the combination of a captivating storyline, innovative angles, and effective use of cinematic elements made this viewing experience highly enjoyable for me.

I'm always down for a low budget - found footage film. This is low budget. And not a found footage film. It's a weekend project amongst "filmmakers." Many times they attempt jump scares with run of the mill sound effects and Walmart Halloween masks. The lead - clearly does not have a southern accent in real life - and is doing a piss poor job of one for the movie.

When it comes to found footage you want to create the illusion of it being real. That's why Blair with was stellar, because it felt real. B for effort but overall F for result. 85% of the movie is the lead just talking to the camera.

Let me start out saying I am not a fan of F. F. movies but I am a fan of indie film makers trying to make a mark in today's Film Industry. For some reason I found this one to be oddly pleasing and liked it. Even my wife (she is relentless on movies) enjoyed this one. If you are into F. F. movies then you may love it and if you are not into F. F movies, it would be a hit or miss with what you enjoy. The Practical effects and SFX effects were great. The acting was good there was some over the top spots but over all it was good. There is a decent amount of jump scares. Give it a watch and make your own decisions on what you thought.

This is just bad. Not fun, or amusing, and I really tried to like the main character because it was obvious that he wanted us to be in on the joke, but he couldn't save the script.

The storyline went nowhere and wound up being very boring, and I had this movie on while I was working on client books, which proved to be much more interesting, always a big fail there.

I watched this on Tubi as a double feature with Horror in the Forest, which I have not finished yet and didn't even know it was the same filmmakers and cast, so I am hoping it's a little more interesting.

Bottom line, I didn't hate anyone in the film, I just hated the film, and it got three stars only for some interesting performances.

In my opinion A Cold Grave was a fun movie to watch. At the start there is a disclaimer that the film is recovered footage. Roger (Benjamin L Newmark) is searching for his missing sister Kaylee. Benjamin Newmark did a fantastic job as "Roger" and was fun to watch. He shows a wide range of emotion with his acting and overall I was impressed with him. The movie was beautifully filmed and is much cleaner than previous DBS Films. That said the reasoning for my rating was that the story line was a little chaotic and hard to follow. I left with questioning what actually happened. I also wouldn't classify this movie as found footage solely because there were many different angles and times I wondered who was holding the camera. If you are a DBS fan you will be delighted to see some familiar faces that were in other DBS films.
