Explosive Horror-Comedy ‘Cold Storage’ Arrives on Digital Tomorrow
After releasing quietly in theaters last month, gooey horror-comedy Cold Storage finally explodes onto Digital tomorrow.
Cold Storage arrives on your Digital platform of choice on March 6 and is available for preorder now.
Joe Keery (“Stranger Things “) and Georgina Campbell (Barbarian, The Watchers) star as employees dealing with one insane night shift.
The film follows “Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility’s inhabitants – human and otherwise.
“With time running out, it’s down to Teacake and Naomi, with the help of a grizzled retired bioterror operative (Liam Neeson), to contain the merciless menace and prevent the explosive extinction of Mankind itself.”
Sosie Bacon (Smile), Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible), and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) also star.
The follow-up feature to Jurassic World: Rebirth and Presence from esteemed writer David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Death Becomes Her), based on Koepp’s novel of the same name, is directed by Jonny Campbell (Netflix’s Dracula). Zombieland and Panic Room’s Gavin Polone produces, along with Koepp.
I wrote in my review, “The outbreak horror comedy never takes itself too seriously, but it sometimes feels too reluctant to let its humor take the spotlight. That yields an entertaining throwback romp perfect for date night, but one that dangles its greater potential in plain sight. Even still, the zippy, fun, and sweet inner core ensures a refreshing change of pace from the usual outbreak horror films that feel designed solely to remind us of humanity’s worst.”
If you missed it, catch up on the trailer here as well, as a fun clip that sees Joe Keery attempt to warn others from the infectious, lethal fungus here.

From New Line Cinema, James Wan’s Atomic Monster, Broken Road Productions, and Fireside Films, Mortal Kombat II is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language.”
