Clive is a very lonely person and all he wants is to have someone in his life.

I thought that the character was very sympathetic and I actually found myself feeling sorry for him (at first, anyway). He does an excellent job of playing a mentally retarded hermit and comes off as a demented Forest Gump.

I was hooked early on and couldn’t wait to see how everything turned out in the end. The results are fascinating as well as entertaining, and I for one enjoyed the ride.

Luckily I was wrong (those movies are a dime a dozen and have been done to death in my opinion) and “Cold Storage” went a totally different route by having the “victim” be a corpse. Once I realized that it wasn’t going to be a zombie flick (or a slasher as the opening scene would have you believe) I thought I was in for another one of those movies where someone is held hostage by a deranged person and the entire film is that person trying to escape that my mother loves so much. I applaud the filmmakers for trying something original and for the most part it works. Man, was I wrong! It is definitely out there and different, and I have never really seen anything quite like it before (though it did remind me a little of the Nekromantik films). I really didn’t know anything about it before I saw it and thought that with a title like that it was going to be just another zombie movie. As he becomes more and more mentally unstable he goes to drastic measures to ensure that no one takes her away from him.Ĭold Storage” is without a doubt a very strange movie, but I mean that in a very positive way. Her sister and ex-boyfriend soon come to town looking for her since she is missing, but Clive isn’t quite willing to just let his guest leave. She dies soon thereafter but Clive doesn’t mind and enjoys her company. Simple-minded local Clive soon comes across the wreckage and takes it upon himself to take her back to his place to nurse her back to health. When an aspiring actress heads to a small Tennessee town to act in a play she is involved in a horrible auto accident.
