A Cold Grave

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you're looking for a scary movie.. A Cold Grave isn't a terrifying watch. But it is enjoyable because of its characters. There are some unexpected jump scares which DBS always delivers. I do like that it's more on the campy side, (Not that it's intended to be) But that's what makes it more charming to me. That cop is amazing, he blew me away with his acting skills.. I was so convinced he was a real cop. Officer Hawk? Or officer HAWT?

Ben who plays Rodger does do a fantastic job since the movie mostly follows him. His character is very likable and you'll be rooting for him and his sister who's played by Tatum (also a wonderful actress). All the actors were impressive.
