Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAura Garrido's character is named Aneris by Friend. Aneris is the read right-to-left word of "sirena" (Spanish for siren).
- GoofsWhen the island is first seen through the spyglass, after his conversation with Friend, the captain orders to prepare to weigh anchor. As the ship is already moving, the order is wrong, as weighing anchor means to raise the anchor from the sea floor and hoist it on board. The correct order would be "prepare to anchor", but even then, the ship is too far away for the order to make sense.

Cold Skin: Original but flawed
Cold Skin is quite the original unique little tale, but ultimately it fails to deliver on its promises.
It tells the story of a military intelligence man set to do a scientific study on a remote island for a year replacing an existing gentleman. There is nobody on the island bar one, a disgruntled insane from isolation man named Gruner. As night falls he learns that the island holds a terrible secret.
Arguably a "Creature feature" this horror stars the excellent British veteran Ray Stevenson and was made by French/Spanish studios. I'm very glad I came across it because despite its flaws it's quite remarkable, it was nice to find a movie this original and visually pleasing considering that it's not a mega budget film.
The concept is outstanding, the delivery however is very mixed. They manage to make it all look good and Stevenson is on form as usual however the writing is really messy and the film simply should have flowed better.
When the credits rolled I was saddened by the wasted potential here, on paper it had the makings of a fantastic feature but the end result here is something that loses steam at around the 2/3 mark and hits you with a very uninspired ending.
Well worth a watch simply to marvel over what it does have to offer but it's a fine example of a ball being dropped by all involved.
The Good:
Solid concept
Looks great
Ray Stevenson
The Bad:
Loses steam
Wasted potential
Weak finale
