Cold Feet

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.

The story is interesting and some of the character work had me laughing out loud. Some of the jokes could have fallen flat but the delivery was on point. Stand outs for me were Boyd (Matt Mercer) and Officer Mooney (Kenneth Farmer).

It took a moment for me to warm up to the characters and what was going on, but once it got moving I was in!

Good indie film. Worth a watch!

Are done posting their bogus reviews.

This is FRESHMAN quality in every way, thats being very liberal. This ismpoorly written contrived and stupid . Plain and simple. Nothing redeeming, funny, clever or well.....good.

Yes, it starts a little slow and you may be tempted to click off, but you will be rewarded for sticking around. The actual storyline is quite good, which sets it a step above a 4 or 5 star horror. The comedy is cheeky and fun, rather than sight gags. The acting was a little uneven - less a cohesive whole than an array of people playing characters (but some of those characters... :::chef's kiss:::) Also, there were 8 main characters which is about 3 more than an audience can really keep track of in a buddy movie. Those are my only two "complaints", if you could even call them that. The story really took off in the second act and had me rethinking and re-evaluating all that had come before. Something I sincerely did not expect. I'm rarely surprised by a movie with so few ratings, but pleasantly surprised I am!

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.
