One film we’re really looking forward to is Xavier Gens’ (The Divide, Frontiere(s), The Crucifixion) Cold Skin, which premiered at last year’s Sitges Film Festival. Samuel Goldwyn Films acquired North American rights earlier this year and will release in theaters* and on digital/VOD platforms September 7, 2018.
Cold Skin takes place on the edge of the Antartic Circle, in the years after World War I, a steamship approaches a desolate island far from all shipping lanes. On board is a young man, on his way to assume the lonely post of weather observer, to live in solitude for a year at the end of the world. But on shore, he finds no trace of the man whom he has been sent to replace, just a deranged castaway who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. The rest is forest, a deserted cabin, rocks, silence, and the surrounding sea. And then the night begins to fall…
In this newly released clip, Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone, Big Game) and David Oakes (The Borgias, The White Queen) use one of the island’s Lovecraftian creatures to bait them all into an attack at midnight.
*Theaters include: Los Angeles (Arena Cinelounge), Cleveland (Tower City Cinema), Phoenix (Harkins Arizona Mills), Denver (Harkins Northfield), Dallas (Harkins Southlake), Atlanta (Plaza Theatre), Austin (Galaxy Highland), Detroit (Emagine Canton), Minneapolis (Emagine Lakeville) and Seattle (Galaxy Monroe).
