Bleak

 

Cold Skin (2017)


Directed by Xavier Gens this film based on the novel of the same name stars David Oakes, Ray Stevenson and Aura Garrido. In 1914 a man goes to stay as a weather observer on a remote island where he meets a strange lighthouse keeper and they are attacked by monsters every night.


This film never really managed to capture an atmosphere to hold your attention. The plot is decent enough but never really hits on a clear subtext. I like the bleak landscapes more than anything else in the film.


3/5
