Cold Skin

I really enjoyed this film for what it was - an entertaining escape from reality. I'm not some movie viewer that watches a movie and tries to pick it apart.

As an audience we feel lonely and fragile just like the main character. The movie begins as a horror but slowly turns more action orientated.

Good old school science fiction story set in 1914 with interesting caracters. Feels a little short and rushed, but the eerieness and moody atmosphare makes it very entertaining.

Another film that get way under where it should be rated, come on a 6??? Really??

Terrible writing, but great camera work and score. I understand the message of the story , but the plot holes were too large for me to suspend my disbelief.

Apparently you're now not safe from liberal preaching even in a horror film. This story seems to be a clumsy metaphor for colonialism and general fear of the 'other'.

David Oakes is one of those actors regularly seen in lengthy historical television adaptations, but rarely making any decent appearances on the bg screen. In this clever and stylish adaptation of Piñol's novel, he plays a young man (with no name, known only as "Friend") deposited on a remote island as a weather monitor.

Pushes for profundity when it should concentrate on genre fun, but this isn't as bad as the reviews would have you believe.
