The Cover art and Title might be somewhat misleading as they played only a small role in the last part of the film. "this isn't a spoiler".
Cold Storage started off with a great gore effect "a flashback" Then as the story went to present day it became somewhat slow..Although there are some wonderful aspects to the movie,one being Nick Searcy who always plays a crazy lunatic to perfection with out over acting and making it seem very real.I also am a big Matt Keeslar fan, although his role was somewhat wasted he's still nice to look at.
There are some grit my teeth and wince, gross out moments in the film..I don't gross out easily but GAG,some of this did.The story has certain elements of May,Grace and Psycho but not a copycat.
It was interesting enough and worth watching I just wish it were a little faster paced.What few gore effects there were, were very well done and were very effective..
If brushing your teeth with a straight razor,Boils,Necrophilia or a fat sheriff sucking very runny egg yokes through a straw gross you out by all means watch it..Or not~!

Nick Searcy's disturbing performance as Clive Mercer is the biggest asset in this twisted tale of obsession. Clive stumbles upon a young woman killed in a freak auto accident and sees her as his ideal woman. Her concerned sister and estranged boyfriend try to discern her whereabouts with unpleasant results.
The movie moves slowly but Searcy's almost pathetic portrait of a sad and lonely man maintains your interest.

This a piece that achieves what it set out to do, a thriller with some chills and then rises above it with a surprisingly sensitive and layered portrayal of a pool soul, lost in a wasteland of madness and loneliness, a hell from which he cannot escape.

There is very little cold storage actually going on here until very late, and then not for long. Otherwise, this is quite a good production for a low budget independent horror film, with some pretty good performances and locations. A woman dies in a car accident and her body is taken home by a weird man who takes a fancy to her and wants to keep her around. Her family comes looking for her, and I will not reveal any more than that.

Do not mess with those back woods inbreed mumble mouth Hillbillies, being out of touch with reality can mess up your social skills to say the least.
Our main man Clive (Nick Searcy) is one out of touch and crazy boy and he has love on his mind. Nick Searcy who plays Clive is 100% convincing as a twisted redneck freak and had me squirming in my chair and thinking this is one nasty foul smelling odd ball. When a missing young lady's wimp of a boy friend and bad to the bone sister go looking for her they find Clive in all his sick glory and the fight is on. Good low budget movie with a group of fine actors make this worth a look, heck you will be planing your next vacation around Clive's Bed and Breakfast.

Without giving away the familiar plotline, this movie had humor, pathos,(I know the main character was creepy but I could feel for his situation, being so lonely for so long) and sincere performances. (Did anyone see "Little Children"? I think the main character in this movie would have been good to play the creepy guy in that movie). For a low budget movie it was very good.
