Lionsgate Bringing ‘Cold Storage’ to DVD
The ultimate film to scare anyone from going into the mountains alone ever again, Cold Storage, makes its DVD premiere on May 4. Cold Storage stars Nick Searcy (The Ugly Truth) and Sean Bridgers (HBO’s “Deadwood”). The film received the Audience Award for Best Picture at the Dead By Dawn Film Festival, Scotland, and was the official selection at the Bendfilm, Seattle True Independent, First Glance, Fantaspoa, and Macabro Film Festivals. The DVD contains numerous featurettes that reveal all aspects of the making of the film plus a blooper reel. Fans of The Strangers and The Hills Have Eyes will want to add Cold Storage to their horror collection – if they dare!
“When a brutal car accident takes place in the desolate backcountry, the only onlooker is Clive, a lonely man who lives nearby in an isolated shack. As he approaches the scene, he sees the girl of his dreams, dead among the debris. Certain that she is “the one,” Clive will do whatever it takes to keep her by his side. When the victim’s sister and boyfriend arrive, they quickly become unwitting hostages. Joelle Carter (American Pie 2) and Matt Keeslar (Scream 3) star alongside Nick Searcy in this bone-chilling film. ”
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
