A Cold Grave

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.

Hits you in the face right in the beginning with what is happening and what you will see. Main character narrates the action well and pulls you in. There are some great suspenseful spots where you find yourself wanting the scene to hurry and show you what is about to happen as it makes you suffer and wait. Good twist at the end brings it full circle and teaches a lesson: don't go where others have disappeared. The acting was good. The sound and lighting can be very spotty in these indie films but this group has their act together and there were no issues throughout the film. It is a short running time which I appreciate since most movies are too long now.

A crazy rollercoaster ride of emotions and cameras, "A Cold Grave" tells the story of a sibling bond broken by the evils that lure & lurk in the woods.

There are plenty of creepy moments and intriguing monologues by Roger, the loving brother obsessed with finding his missing sister. He will reign down fury upon anyone that dares to get in the way of his mission!

Humor is sprinkled amongst the gore and jump scares for a nice balance. There are times where it's hard to follow the storyline and which camera is watching who and when, but there are some good performances and unique elements that make it worth the rental.

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.

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.
