Blood Runs Cold [HD]

Your average slasher film
I really really wanted to like this more but I didn't. My main complaint about this movie is the pacing is very slow and you do not see the killer enough in my opinion. Kills were ok but not the greatest and the acting was really weird. Evidently this was filmed in Sweden or something and the whole movie they are trying to speak perfect english and make it feel like an American film which is very werid, awkward, and sometimes funny to watch. The main selling point in this movie I think is the killer because I think he is awesome looking and has something not quite right with him. Worth a rent but not the $6 price tag. Just wait till June when this is released.

The Ice Man Cometh
This was basically a Slasher movie about a woman that goes to a house in the Icy woods for a well needed rest ,she meets up with an old boyfriend at a local bar.They reminisce about old times then he and 2 of his friends "another couple" come back with her to hang out and end up spending the night in the creepy house she's staying in. Short on Plot but good on Gore and it has a very cool and interesting killer.
It has a short running time but that seems to be the trend these days especially with Indie Horror/Slasher Films.The kills were good and the effects done remarkably well especially since I heard that they were working with an absurd 5000.00 Budget.Yes Five Grand,(gasp) but they made it work.The camera work was good and there were some very chilling moments,no pun intended.I love a good slasher in the snow flick,Think Donner Pass and Cold Prey although I liked the plot of these two better but as a whole with the gore and the killer I Believe (Blood Runs Cold) is right up...

OLD HOUSE IN THE WOODS
Winona (Hanna Oldenburg) is a stressed out musician who rents a house in the woods so she can go to the town bar. Here she meets her old boyfriend Rick (Patrick Saxe) who can't read a line and his two lively friends Liz (Elin Hugoson) and Carl (Andreas Rylander). They decide to take the "party" back to the house, one that has an unwanted guest who looks exactly like the guy on the cover.

The opening scene was a slasher special effects dream. The were cold faces covered blood and snow. The older dried blood had turned dark, almost black, while the fresh blood from the wound was bright red, dripping like Karo syrup. Snowflakes that had fallen on his coat was mixed with blood. Clearly they knew what they were doing with special effects. The plot wasn't very linear and the action starts at 40 minutes into this 77 ,minute film, which accounts for the teaser opening shot.

The acting was not impressive, these are all newcomers. They also needed better lines. Toward the...
