Teacake (Joe Keery) and Naomi (Georgina Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility's inhabitants -- human and otherwise. With time running out, it's down to Teacake and Naomi, with the help of a grizzled retired bioterror operative (Liam Neeson), to contain the merciless menace and prevent the explosive extinction of Mankind itself.

Critics Consensus

A smart but familiar B-movie throwback, Cold Storage delivers campy performances, gooey splatter, and wry sci-fi wit with infectious enthusiasm.

It's very funny and very gnarly... It does what it says on the box.

4/5

A clever, funny, suspenseful, interestingly cynical science-fiction horror movie with a great collection of monsters — courtesy of make-up geniuses Dave and Lou Elsey — and a cast whose enthusiasm is, appropriately, infectious.

What the film lacks in budget (some of the special effects are on the schlocky side), it makes up for in propulsive energy and sizzling chemistry between the leads.

2.5/5

This blend of biological horror, dark comedy, and survival thriller doesn't always work, despite a cast that tries to overcome its tonal issues. It's a zombie film that will keep you entertained, but not much more. [Full Review in Spanish]

3/5

Overall a slapstick cartoonish and silly comedy in the vein of Slither, Cold Storage is a film that sticks to surface level entertainment, never venturing deep enough to fully hook the audience.

4/5

Part apocalyptic zombie shocker, part alien conspiracy thriller, Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp's novel receives a fun, scary adaptation crammed with splatter action and mordant wit.

Reminiscent of the creature features of the 80s and 90s but with better production value.

Entertaining but forgettable. Easily overshadowed by older films that did it better.

It was so funny I was laughing out loud, and then it just has the perfect amount of creepiness and gore too. Loved it!
