Cold Storage

A clever, funny, suspenseful, interestingly cynical science-fiction horror movie with a great collection of monsters — courtesy of make-up geniuses Dave and Lou Elsey — and a cast whose enthusiasm is, appropriately, infectious.

That Cold Storage hews closer to comedy doesn’t lessen the unnerving sensation of watching its horror unfold. Funny as the film is, the speed with which a biological agent can spread—when the powers that be find the very notion laughable—still makes one squirm in their seat.

A B-movie throwback with plentiful winks, it has few thrills, but it has a touch of science, a plausible-enough threat, suitably disgusting splatter, appealing actors and a fleet running time.

Cold Storage is a far better movie than you'd expect, thanks to its clever script, committed cast, and energetic direction. If you are hankering to watch more of Joe Keery battling monsters in the wake of the Stranger Things finale, this is just what the doctor ordered.

Unfortunately, in Cold Storage, the first act sets too high a bar to maintain, and the rest, though watchable, is busy-ness punctuated by green splatter.

The best moments are when Keery and Campbell get to be blue collar schlubs facing down these messy menaces. Maybe if there was more of their back-and-forth and less of Neeson and Torchia’s distant double act, or vice versa, then Cold Storage might balance between its gruesome and goofy aspects.

All the ingredients for a good movie, or at the very least a fun one, are present in Cold Storge: A charismatic and talented ensemble, a clever story, and an overall sense of playfulness that extends from the effects work to the production design of the 24-hour self-storage facility built over the old government bunker used to contain the fungus. However, that sense of playfulness doesn’t extend to the overall tone, leaving the movie feeling like a wasted opportunity.

A raucously entertaining B-grade blood-soaked comedy party; Joe Keery effortlessly carries the film with a standout solo performance, while Liam Neeson delivers his trademark deadpan humor as reliably as ever. Overall, while the movie doesn’t break new ground, it gets the job done competently. That said, the transitions and balance between its comedic and horror elements could have been handled more smoothly, a tighter blend would have elevated the experience to the next level.

Managed to stay entertaining with slapped together tone and characters. I liked it.

Cold Storage (2026) Entertaining Film (12,332 – 15 Mar 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) In 1979, the Skylab Space Station felt **** on Earth and NASA collects the pieces. Eighteen years ago, a man in Australia calls Dr. Hero Martins (Sosie Bacon) and says that a tank from NASA is killing the population in the country. She immediately travels and teams up with officers Robert Quinn (Liam Neeson) and Trini Romano (Lesley Manville) and finds a lethal fungus. She is infected and commits suicide. The place is nuked and the sample of the fungus is transported by the USA army to a remote facility. On the present days, the army has sold the place that is now a storage facility. When the workers Travis “Teacake” (Joe Keery) and Naomi (Georgina Campbell) overhear a sound behind the wall, they break into and find the fungus that has spread. Now the only chance to save mankind is the retired Robert. “Cold Storage” (2026) is an entertaining film about a modified fungus that falls on Earth. It is forgotten in a former military facility and when the temperature raise in the room, it spreads, turning people and living beings into zombies. Great seeing Ms. Vanessa Redgrave in a cameo. Liam Neeson jokes with his age and is a funny moment. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): “Alerta Apocalipse” (“Apocalypse Warning”) My Blog: ****/

Cold Storage parte de una premisa atractiva: una amenaza biológica fuera de control contenida en un entorno aparentemente seguro. Con elementos de ciencia ficción y toques de humor, la película intenta construir una experiencia entretenida que combine tensión y **** embargo, la ejecución no logra sostener ese equilibrio. El tono cambia constantemente entre lo cómico y lo serio, sin que ninguno termine de consolidarse. Esto afecta directamente la narrativa, haciendo que la historia se sienta irregular y, por momentos, poco enfocada.A nivel conceptual, hay destellos de algo interesante, especialmente en la forma en que plantea el peligro científico y sus consecuencias. Como dato curioso, este tipo de historias suele inspirarse en temores reales sobre bacterias extremas y laboratorios de alta seguridad, lo que le da una base intrigante.Lamentablemente, la película no logra desarrollar todo su potencial, quedándose como una idea que pudo haber sido mucho más.

Flawed. How can anyone even like this? It's probably pure fantasy that such films have such high ratings. It's like collecting statistics on our thinking skills. It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it seems plausible. A 50+ rating for such crap is an indication that we're getting dumber.
