Verdict on Cold Storage
Recap
The movie follows the government’s planned containment of an infected disease spiralling out of control. It shows them being contained and a storage facility being opened in the same building. However, the disease escapes and begins to spread, leading to a race against time to survive.
Best Parts
The movie uses the chaotic virus spread concept and doesn’t hold back. It highlights the dangers of containment, instead of elimination and things in space. The performances are fun and embrace the chaos, with some of the bigger names looking like they are having a lot of fun. In the end, this is pure chaos in all the right way. It never holds back and adds the military cover ups.
Worst Parts
There are a lot of flashbacks, which at times are annoying, and the zooms into the infection spread are used way too often.
Final Thoughts – Cold Storage is an outrageous, chaotic and outlandish horror.
