Film Review – Cold Storage

Screenwriter David Koepp (“Jurassic Park,” “Spider-Man,” “Mission: Impossible”) takes on adaptation duties on “Cold Storage,” which is based on his 2019 book. Why Koepp isn’t directing the picture as well is a bit of a mystery, handing the reins over to television helmer Jonny Campbell, who’s attempting to make a horror comedy with the material, which involves a vicious fungal breakout at a storage facility, putting those new to such biological horrors and those familiar with the devastation on the hunt for a way to prevent any spread of the nightmare. “Cold Storage” (which was shot three years ago) tries to play the central idea of the feature as loosely as possible, but Koepp doesn’t aim for a rollicking viewing experience, electing to slow down trouble, leaving Campbell to handle gory encounters, which the film could use more of.
