3/5
If this UK-Canadian thriller has a wind-hardened snowcrust of malice, it’s somewhat less dense under the surface – though still an enjoyable punt from the digital-release ranks. Go to Full Review

4/5
A single situation survival thriller with a killer hook, Cold Meat makes a great calling card for Sébastien Drouin. Go to Full Review

Supernatural survival thriller tails off after a terrific start. Go to Full Review

Although the film spins its wheels just a little bit, like a car trying to get out of a snowbank, the tone and construction makes Cold Meat worth watching for genre fans and general audiences alike. Go to Full Review

This is a tight, tense, and thrilling film. It works perfectly in line with the B-movie status. Go to Full Review

Cold Meat combines three different kinds of thrillers into one. For the most part, the mixture is pretty convincing. Go to Full Review

Ivana J @ivyj123 Jan 19 The acting was really good. And I didn't know either of the actors. Adam Leech is a truly underrated actor. See more Richard B @Komard Jan 14 Cold Meat suffers from a misleading trailer and an execution that fails to match its premise. What begins as a promising survival thriller quickly slows to a crawl, with long stretches that lack tension or narrative progression. The film attempts to sustain suspense through sporadic appearances of a mysterious creature, but this element is never clearly defined or logically integrated into the story. Rather than elevating the danger, the creature’s random presence creates confusion and disrupts the film’s pacing. Character development and decision-making remain thin, and the story never fully commits to either realism or horror. While the eventual rescue provides closure, it does little to redeem the film’s structural and pacing issues. In the end, Cold Meat has moments of atmosphere but falls short as a cohesive or compelling survival thriller. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 12 Cold Meat is a relentlessly unpleasant experience that falls apart almost immediately and never recovers. From the opening scene, the film feels misjudged and unfocused, offering no real tension, atmosphere, or narrative direction. What should have been a suspenseful thriller instead plays like a poorly constructed joke that never lands. The screenplay is the biggest problem. Nothing feels natural or earned, and scenes unfold without momentum or logic. The dialogue is stiff, the pacing drags, and the story never builds toward anything meaningful. Any attempt at suspense quickly fizzles out, leaving long stretches of boredom. The acting is uneven at best. While the main actor shows brief flashes of potential, he’s dragged down by a weak supporting cast and unfocused direction. There’s no chemistry, no emotional investment, and nothing to latch onto as a viewer. Ultimately, Cold Meat feels lifeless, frustrating, and exhausting. It’s not engaging See more Tom D. @leroyjerkins Jan 11 The movie itself wasn't horrible, but stupid little things like the car being stuck for however long, and they turn the heat on gor a couple minutes every once in a while to stay warm...but the car hasn't been running so there's no possible way it blew warm air...stuff like that drags down the good things in the movie....sloppy writing See more kiran s @Kiran91 Jan 6 The worst movie I have watched in recent years. The dialogue was mind numbing and the whole movie was just a huge waste of time. See more Jim V @MasterBlaster12 Nov 25 Vapid dialogue. Dumb decisions. Wasted opportunity on a decent premise.
