Watched the new indie dark comedy Cold Feet-a fun twist on the bro bachelor comedy with a terrific ensemble cast. It's great to see my friend Allen C. Gardner reunited with Brad Ellis (they directed the fine/funny 2016 comedy Bad Bad Men) as directors with another fine script by Gardner. It's a fun look at a group of best buddies who rent at home to celebrate the upcoming marriage of friend Eddie (Gardner). What begins as a fun/laid back weekend suddenly goes awry with murders/horror and some ghostly activity. I love how Ellis and Gardner keep this character driven with a lot of heart. We can see how much these characters care about each other. It's also a kick to twist in the horror element into this bro drama- a fresh exciting aspect of telling this type of story. The ensemble of fine actors (along with Gardner, Matt Mercer, Nathan Ross Murphy, Adam Burns, Gabe Arredondo, Matt Gilliam, Matthew Stiller, Kenneth Farmer, Lindsay Roberts, Najarra Townsend Drew Smith, Drew Paslay, Hayden Blaine, and John Speredokos) work very well here and all have moments to shine. Cold Feet is both off-beat/thrilling and funny-a black comedy that keeps us rooting for the characters and gives us a satisfying conclusion that ties up all the horror/comedy in an effective manner.
