Puts a smart contemporary spin on lurid giallo-style ingredients, minimizing the voyeuristic violence and maximizing the feminist revenge elements. This stylish, fast-moving exercise in hard-boiled pulp noir punches way above its weight.

Cinema Crazed

Cold Hell is a strong psychological horror film that builds tension and uses special effects to their best results to create a fear and stressor for the lead.

Rated: 4/5

The story is at its best when it's about Özge and the killer's game of cat and mouse.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Lens

Formally striking but too scattered and sluggish to function as a truly crackerjack serial-killer thriller.

Rated: C+

Running a lean 91 minutes, Cold Hell is all muscle; hurtling through one brutal, kinetic set-piece after the next.

Rated: B+

Good balance of action and drama, and a three-dimensional, believable female protagonist. I do think she needed to be a little more muscular to really pull off the MMA stuff, but I was willing to let it go because the movie was engaging.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

i watched this on Shudder, assuming it was a horror movie but it very quickly lost my attention & i couldn't finish it. seeing all the good ratings now i feel like i should try to rewatch it under the right expectations, but to be honest i have no desire to do so.

4.25* Very very good movie. Suspense thriller. Had 1-2 scares too but it wasn't a horror. The acting was great. Violetta Schurawlow is amazing as the protagonist. She does a great job of getting you to root for her. The story wasn't very unique but it was done very well so it stay interesting. The outcome was predictable but the ride there wasn't. The ending is really exciting. Great action scenes... and relentless action.

A paint by the numbers Lifetime television for women movie. Might as well have cast Heather Locklear or Nancy McKeon in the lead role. I regret I gave this 90 minutes of my life.

Feels longer than its relatively short running time. Nearly everyone is unlikable , even if there are explanations offered.

The fact that it plays a lot like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo to me is both a positive and a negative.
