Cold Storage

1988 · 91 min

A grimy, claustrophobic descent into madness that leaves you uneasy long after, more oppressive than frightening.

Directed by
Paul M. Rinehard
Genres
Horror, Thriller
Starring
Glenn Pearce, Dale Kuipers, Sherryll Truckey
Overview
Cold Storage tells the story of a deformed young man who lives in a creepy dystopian high-rise whose inhabitants have lived there their entire lives, and never leave; they don't even think there is a world outside. He suffers from grim hallucinations and a growing urge to commit murder. A strange, malicious mass is growing on his wall, and making his visions worse, and a disembodied voice in the basement tells him to give in to his homicidal urges.
