Cold Feet

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.

Garbage movie that thinks it's clever but isn't sure if it'a straight horror comedy horror action horror that makes no sense from start to finish. I instantly hated every character and the end of the movie is impossible to like. Horrible start horrible all the way through and horrible ending. I wanted desperately to find something anything that could make me understand the relatively low 4.5 but no absolutely nothing ever presents itself. A complete waste of time.

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.

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!
