nightwatch4773 I just loved the backwoods horror slasher film Madness and when I found out that this one was directed by the same director, I purchased it right away. What I love about Sonny Laguna's second horror outing is the love this man has for horror. This film has a very sleazy gory 70's grindhouse feel but with a touch of modern horror films like Cold Prey sprinkled all over it. The film looks gorgeous on DVD and it is hard to believe it only cost 5 grand to make. Terrific stuff here and we also have a great looking antagonist that can rival the best of them. Please Sonny make a sequel!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for Mr Laguna's next project Wither. It sort of looks like Sweden's take on Evil Dead.....

acidburn-10 I recently came across this movie, after reading some positive reviews and given its mere 5,000 budget, well I was intrigued to see this for myself, and when I did, well I was absolutely disappointed, I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. I was bored stupid and even given it's relatively short running time 114mins, it seemed to drag and seemed to be on for way too long.This movie also seems to echo "Cold Prey" with its snowy setting and killer's costume, but has none of its charm. The gore scenes were surprisingly good and handled quite well, that's the only good thing about this mess of a movie and the setting was creepy, but everything else just falls apart. The acting for one thing wasn't up to scratch, frankly it was awful especially when they're up against the killer, it was just lifeless and no effort put into it. The cast just seemed to go through the motions and the dialogue between the 4 friends was also dull and boring.All in all "Blood Runs Cold" offers nothing new to the genre, the killer was yes menacing and ruthless but everything else just didn't work.

phantasmda If this film had have been done on a budget of $10m I would have gladly given it a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 but for the $5000 it took to make, it deserves a full 10 out of 10 plus. How on earth do you produce a film as good as this for so little cash? There's plenty of scares, some decent gore, an absolutely brilliant looking killer, seriously, they don't come much creepier than this one and the gore effects are top notch. It doesn't look cheap either, the camera work is fairly competent and looks far in excess of its meagre budget. The only quibble I'd have is with acting, which isn't the best if I'm honest but hey, for $5000 this is superb. I'd like to see what this director can do with a real budget. It was far better than some of the big budget dross that Hollywood churns out these days.

Flow I'll give this movie a 6, I know it's quite a favorable review but seriously you have to take its budget in consideration. Now, I don't know if 5000$ was all that they spent on doing it but you can tell that indeed it is a low-budget production. Not necessarily in a bad way tho, OK it is kinda logic free, you get no explanation for the killer, well for pretty much anything that is, you do get your share of nudity in exchange, but somehow "Blood runs cold" manages to stand tall, maybe with just a little hunchback but still, it's not bad at all.So if you are simply too bored, or you want to take a look in the low budget horror section, this is the movie you should start with. Trust me, you can do a whole lot worse, I think this is a great effort in the end.
