Cinema and VOD Highlights
Yes VOD, Sting TV, and Partner TV — Cold Storage
A sci-fi horror comedy based on the novel by screenwriter David Koepp, who also penned the adaptation. Teake (Joe Keery) and Naomi (Georgina Campbell) are working a night shift at a self-storage facility built over the remains of an old U.S. military base, unaware that decades ago the government sealed away a highly infectious parasitic fungus deep underground. A temperature rise in the subterranean level awakens the organism, which begins to multiply and mutate rapidly. Joining the fight is Robert Quinn (Liam Neeson), a veteran biological warfare expert. The film also stars Lesley Manville and Vanessa Redgrave.
