If this film had have been done on a budget of $10m I would have gladlygiven it a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 but for the $5000 it took to make, itdeserves a full 10 out of 10 plus. How on earth do you produce a filmas good as this for so little cash? There's plenty of scares, somedecent gore, an absolutely brilliant looking killer, seriously, theydon't come much creepier than this one and the gore effects are topnotch. It doesn't look cheap either, the camera work is fairlycompetent and looks far in excess of its meagre budget. The onlyquibble I'd have is with acting, which isn't the best if I'm honest buthey, for $5000 this is superb. I'd like to see what this director cando with a real budget. It was far better than some of the big budgetdross that Hollywood churns out these days.

I'll give this movie a 6, I know it's quite a favorable review butseriously you have to take its budget in consideration. Now, I don'tknow if 500.000$ was all that they spent on doing it but you can tellthat indeed it is a low-budget production. Not necessarily in a bad waytho, OK it is kinda logic free, you get no explanation for the killer,well for pretty much anything that is, you do get your share of nudityin exchange, but somehow "Blood runs cold" manages to stand tall, maybewith just a little hunchback but still, it's not bad at all.So if you are simply too bored, or you want to take a look in the lowbudget horror section, this is the movie you should start with. Trustme, you can do a whole lot worse, I think this is a great effort in theend.

This is my first review on here, i have seen many films over the yearsand quite often find myself coming on here before making the finaldecision on whether to watch a specific movie or not. Over the yearsthere have been some appalling movies that have been marked way abovetheir station, so i think it's time i had my say.I watched this after seeing the couple of reviews on here, i sometimeswonder if i am watching the same film as previous reviewers, it was areasonable effort, but even at 1hr 14mins it felt way too long andthere was absolutely nothing new here, apart from the fact they triedto make it feel American for some reason.The effects on the death scenes were OK, but the added touch of coldbreath on a couple of scenes looked out of place as the effect seemedalmost HD in quality, but the movie was of a lower resolution, hopethat makes sense. Watch the movie and you will see what i mean.2 stars may seem harsh, but i really felt as though i had wasted mytime with this :(

What can I say the people that made this movie are an up and comingtalent to say the least. I'm an avid slasher movie fan but still I wentinto this one with the lowest of expectations, What can I say, when isaw that the budget for this was a measly $5,000 I thought I would beturning it off after the first 5 minutes. But this movie had me grippedafter the first 10.The story is quite basic, Winona goes back to her home town to get awayfrom her stressful life as an artist, there she meets up with an exboyfriend and his friends who she invites to spend the night at thecreepy house her manager has rented for her out in the woods. From thethe blood starts to fly.For the budget visually it's a gem, how they managed to make it look sogreat with that little money is a skill in itself. Great cinematographyfor the genre complimented by some nice filming locations. For fans ofthe genre there is plenty of gore and some great looking effects, somereally stood out as better and more realistic than in bigger budgetedfare. There is a decapitation at one point which is particularlyimpressive. The acting is another plus all the characters havepersonality and are portrayed well Although some kind of back story forthe slasher would have been welcome. I only have two minor gripes with this movie, first of all the Americanaccents were quite false with tints of Swedish shining through now andagain. Also where is this supposed to be set? The second problem I hadwas the lack of any surprise element at the end, it was a little abruptto just finish the movie in the way they did, I even flicked throughthe credits hoping to find something but alas there was nothing. Putting these minor problems aside I had a great time with this one, Iwas genuinely scared at a few times which is a big recommendationcoming from this seasoned horror fanatic. Don't listen to the negativereviews that this is getting here I nearly did and would have missed aimpressive entry into one of my favorite genres.To the makers of this movie, I take my hat off to you.
