A Cold Grave is a slow burn dark mystery and a character study of a broken man searching for his sister when she goes lost in the woods. With some heartfelt and emotional acting, the found footage cinema style film hits well into the somber and dark realm of family, personal doubt, and with a hint of paranormal evil that keeps you engulfed in the story. Some points could have more gore and perhaps transitioned better into eachother but a solid and clear story was given.
Benjamin L. Newmark gave a very solid and entertaining performance as the main character. The story follows his smart al-eck approach to a sibling in fear that falls into a very real sense of disguising pain by smoking, making smartass remarks, and yelling into darkness. Plus great rockstar hair Newmark carries the movie as it moves forward.
Tatum Bates gives a very sweet wide eyed and excited performance which then becomes harsher as her circumstnces change and fear steps in. Her range of emotion hits very well and definitely fits every scene shes in. This young talent will definitley be in more movies.
All in all the enitire cast gave solid performances and you can tell this movie was made with a low budget but with high hopes and great crafting with in a passion project. Great independent film. Highly recommended.
