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.

Linda Marric HeyUGuys 3d
4/5
It’s a smart, entertaining variation on a familiar formula. It’s clever without being smug, scary without losing its sense of humor, and messy in the most enjoyable way. Go to Full Review
William Bibbiani TheWrap 6d
Keery and Campbell need laid-back vibes for most of their scenes to work, but without a sense of urgency, the whole genre element falls flat. Go to Full Review
Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com 6d
3/4
It strikes a nifty balance between the sardonic and the stressful and throws a lot of gnarly gore and gook into the scenario, as a bargain. Go to Full Review

3/5
Goofy, scrappy and unforgivably chatty, Cold Storage could do with some sharper jokes and bigger scares. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
It could have been a bit funnier, but that's the only quibble - and one that could be put right in a most-welcome sequel. Go to Full Review

B
Conditions are ripe for an ecological disaster where the official response will be too little, too late – which gives this enjoyable film a bit of disquieting resonance Go to Full Review

Mads 1h This is a really fun watch! I really like movies with discordant tones—half of this movie is intense military procedural drama and the other half is two idiots just f**king around at work. It’s silly and deeply unserious, which made it wildly entertaining. Nothing that happens makes any sort of logical sense in the real world, but it commits so hard to the bit that it works. See more Max T 15h A nice, comfort movie for all relatable people! See more Mike 20h Pretty good action comedy, a little gross but not too much to handle. Feels like they cobbled together a few current trends in action and horror and while it’s entertaining and a little bit funny it’s also very predictable and would be just as good on a small screen, maybe better. See more Dia 1d joe keery was amazing! See more K 1d Funny, fast paced, and action packed with characters you instantly care about. See more Tristan 1d "it's COVID" flippin' hilarious. Joe's performance was immaculate "I've never seen anything like this before in my life", exactly what I'd do in the situation. See more Read all reviews
