N P "Cold Creek Manor" is an "okay" murder-esque horror movie. TBH, I wasn't scared throughout, only slightly suspensed in the beginning, trying to figure out the lore. But, once the second half kicked in, I was getting bored and waiting for it to end. I was interested in the mystery at first, when we are first introduced to a suspect and a couple of minor hijinks. However, when it turned into an investigatory drama halfway through, the film became lackluster and predictable. The supporting characters making up the small town formed the world to feel more real, and I cared somewhat about our main family. The ending sequence though, which should be the climatic battle, felt cheesy. Some of the music score was somewhat laughable. If you just want alright horror movie fodder and are trying not to be scared (as my tolerance is already quite low), you can check it out, but it can get tedious and you may be checking your watch quite a bit. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Dan R 2003's 'Cold Creek Manor' was a film I'd never seen the first time around so I was intrigued to watch it now it was on Disney+. SYNOPSIS: 'A family relocates from the city to a dilapidated house in the country that was once a grand estate. As they begin renovations, they discover their new home harbors a secret and may not be completely free of its former inhabitant.' What I thought was going to be a standard, by the numbers, supernatural horror film actually became something more real and a decent murder mystery. Director Figgis relies heavily on Quaid's lead performance to carry the film through. Stone, as his wife, seems uninterested throughout and really hams it up, whilst it appears Stewart was an awful actress even as a teen. Depending on your acceptance of these Hollywood B movies it'll either be easy to watch or difficult to accept this unabashedly absurd story. It's 'Hand that Rocks the Cradle' meets 'Fatal Attraction' but without the pazazz. 6/10 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Owen W The scariest thing about this film is the writing, avoid. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Ian G Formulaic drivel. I'm surprised to see Dennis Quaid and Sharon Stone in a thing of such low values. "Plot" - at no point does any character in this make other than an idiotic choice when a sensible one is there just begging to be chosen. It's writing of the very lowest quality, and when coupled with directing and a story line straight from Fright Night, the result is a brew of such low quality that it angers me to have found it on the Disney channel. If you're into low grade trash movies, this one's right up your street. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Karin F Considering the great cast, this is a movie full of tropes and clichés and if ( like me ) you love Horror / Thrillers, you will be disappointed sadly. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/23 Full Review Otvio F Completely clueless movie, it didn't bring anything new, Sharon Stone in another dramatic performance while Juliette Lewis is more erased than an ex message in the movie, the last 12 minutes of the movie gave me the strength to keep watching, a boring mess.
