Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

loomis78-815-989034 Winona (Oldenburg) is a successful musician who needs a break from the fast life. She returns to her home town and her agent rents a quiet house in the snow in the middle of nowhere for her to relax in. She goes to the local bar and runs into her old boyfriend Richard (Saxe) and along with another couple go back to her rented house. When they get there they party, have sex and eventually realize they are not alone. What can best be described as a cannibalistic slasher in a frozen snow suit is walking around with an ax stalking and eventually hacking up the cast. Despite being shot and stabbed (in which air, not blood comes out) our silent killer continues until it's just Winona left. With a classic slasher film set up, this modern slasher film still manages to miss the mark. Okay the killer is creepy, but what exactly is it, or he? In one scene he's eating part of his victim, so is he a cannibal? Is he a supernatural being? Is he alive or some sort of reanimated dead? These are questions the audience has when we first see the killer. The problem is, you still have all these questions when the end credits are rolling. This movie never really explains anything. There is even a bloody scene that starts the movie that makes no sense and ties in nowhere to the story. The rest of the characters are underdeveloped and despite a good set up, this film doesn't have a clue how to generate a slasher scare or suspense.

Woodyanders Successful musician Winona (a sound and sympathetic performance by the pretty Hanna Oldenburg) returns to her hometown to take a much-needed break from her stressful lifestyle. Winona goes to a decrepit cabin with an old boyfriend and two of her boyfriend's friends. However, there's a vicious killer in the area who spoils everyone's fun. Director/co-writer Sonny Laguna relates the familiar, but enjoyable and effective premise at a steady pace, takes time to develop the characters with some depth, makes the most out of the desolate snow-covered wintry landscape, generates a reasonable amount of tension, and delivers both a pleasing smattering of tasty bare female breasts and a generous helping of nasty graphic splatter. The solid acting by the capable cast rates as another asset: Patrick Saxe as the morose Richard, Andreas Rylander as lovable lout Carl, and Elin Hugoson as the sweet Liz. The remote location projects a strong feeling of isolation and vulnerability. Moreover, this movie warrants extra praise for the crisp widescreen cinematography, the genuine creepy psycho, Samir El Alaoui's shuddery score, the tight 78 minute running time, and the overall grimly serious tone. Worth a watch for fans of slice'n'dice fare.

acidburn-10 I recently came across this movie, after reading some positive reviews and given its mere 5,000 budget, well I was intrigued to see this for myself, and when I did, well I was absolutely disappointed, I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. I was bored stupid and even given it's relatively short running time 114mins, it seemed to drag and seemed to be on for way too long.This movie also seems to echo "Cold Prey" with its snowy setting and killer's costume, but has none of its charm. The gore scenes were surprisingly good and handled quite well, that's the only good thing about this mess of a movie and the setting was creepy, but everything else just falls apart. The acting for one thing wasn't up to scratch, frankly it was awful especially when they're up against the killer, it was just lifeless and no effort put into it. The cast just seemed to go through the motions and the dialogue between the 4 friends was also dull and boring.All in all "Blood Runs Cold" offers nothing new to the genre, the killer was yes menacing and ruthless but everything else just didn't work.

Norrel122 What the hell are high budget horror movies doing with the money?This movie is allegedly created on a $5000.00 budget. It looks like anything but a low budget horror movie. The special effects astound you when considering the budget.If you're looking for an atmospheric horror movie that gives you all the scares that you're longing for but not getting with the over-the-top gore fest horror movies hitting the theaters these days, you need to do yourself a favor and check this movie out.The director has vision and talent and I'd definitely like to see what his genius comes up with on a higher budget.While the movie is good, it isn't perfect. Most blood effects were good but some were just downright terrible. The actors were not the best and were killed off in order of acting ability from worst to best. Also, the ending may disappointing some but just keep in mind what this movie was able to accomplish on a $5000.00 budget.
