A Cold Grave

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.

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.

I have to say that I'm quite surprised that this movie was mainly just one man improvising the entire time. Unfortunately the very beginning of the movie was quite slow for me, however I was quickly pulled in with a plot twist, and from there, I was at the edge of my seat, curious as to what was going to happen next. There were some great jump scares which DBS always does well with, and the acting was phenomenal. I was especially impressed with Benjamin Newmarks acting capabilities. He played the role of Roger incredibly well.

Note: You will want to watch 'Forest of Death' to understand 'A Cold Grave' better.

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.
