Cold Storage 4K 2026

The video trailers gave off a bio-horror vibe, but the filmmakers decided to take the easier route. In that sense, this movie is reminiscent in parts of "Weapons" and that Bruce Campbell film about zombies in a supermarket. So don’t expect anything too serious here.

The opening was pretty good, featuring the actress from the horror movie "The Smile". There was even a hint of a menacing atmosphere, but then the upbeat music and fast editing revealed the simplicity of the presentation. It also immediately felt like you could relax and not get too caught up in the story. 

Plot-wise, the story begins with the crash of a space station where all sorts of infectious things were being grown. A container with a fungus landed in a small town and infected everyone there. The town was blown up, and the fungus was quarantined. But, as always, something went wrong. Liam Neeson plays yet another government agent, albeit a retired one. And the random characters are just trying to survive, spicing up the events with enviable optimism. The ending is also moderately positive.

But the film has its problems too. The first, of course, is its more comedic tone—there are zombie cats, zombie deer, spry old ladies, exploding and spitting zombie humans, and some raunchy jokes. The special effects aren’t particularly off-putting overall; some are even quite realistic. The acting doesn’t require much depth for this genre, though I would have liked more realism. There isn’t much belief in what’s happening, but there isn’t much rejection of it either. It’s perfectly fine to watch once in good quality.
