Phil Hoad Guardian 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Kat Hughes THN A single situation survival thriller with a killer hook, Cold Meat makes a great calling card for Sébastien Drouin. Rated: 4/5 Mar 30, 2024 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Supernatural survival thriller tails off after a terrific start. Rated: 2 Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Rudie Obias Battle Royale With Cheese 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. Feb 26, 2024 Full Review Leo Brady AMovieGuy.com This is a tight, tense, and thrilling film. It works perfectly in line with the B-movie status. Rated: 3/4 Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies Cold Meat combines three different kinds of thrillers into one. For the most part, the mixture is pretty convincing.

Chris P This film does a good job at not giving anything away. There were a few surprises and a decent script (with a few incredulous moments) in this tidy little horror movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Gabriel S In a sea of movies, we often hit hidden gems, most of them pleasant to the eyes. It is common, likewise, that the gem turns out to be just glass after care polishing. Cold Meat starts strong with a great opening scene but lost itself in the long run. This movie is also a great example of false advertising. I had to rewatch the trailer to see if I was not going insane; is it that I completely misinterpreted the trailer altogether? Nope. The trailer advertising and the final cut are completely different stories. That would be fine if the final cut was at least interesting, but it isn’t. Cold Meat starts with a voiceover telling of a legend about bad people and Nature’s justice. Pay close attention to this info because you will only get to see it again by the end of the movie. Then we get to a great opening scene showing huge traits of characters David and Ana, our main characters in this mess of a story. I will give it that the acting is at least good and commendable. This scene is the only good thing about this story, like chewing a sweet gum that ends up spilling spicy pepper sauce all over your taste buds. The rest of the movie takes place in one setting without much happening, which would turn out interesting if the psychological aspect had better details. The dialogue is just plain and boring, not enough to keep us hooked. And yet, I persevered. I endured because I’m that person, I wanted to see the end of the tunnel. Turns out the light was a freight train coming my way. 90 minutes of downhill uninteresting plot points until a huge, unexpected Ex Machina, one that, although kinda foreshadowed, just comes out of nowhere, a cheating player or a breaking bug in a software. Had the movie used its own advertised premise as the main theme for the story, I think Cold Meat would have better chances. As it is, I can’t see a valid redeeming factor about this story. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Ted R I was really surprised by this movie. It was really effective at building tension. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Steven t Good little thriller. The makeup work towards the end is spot on. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Audience Member Effective thriller. Nice twists. Held my interest until the end. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Blake L I’ve had diarrhea that was more enjoyable than this movie. Horrendous waste of time.
