Cold Blooded (2024) takes the found footage genre and runs with it, breathing an eerie freshness into familiar tropes. Directed by Alexander T. Hwang, the film leans heavily on atmosphere, capturing the unsettling vibe of desolate tourist spots. The pacing—a slow burn at first—builds tension as the news team digs deeper into a string of local disappearances. Performances are grounded, lending a sense of realism that’s often missing in horror. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, heightening the visceral horror of what they uncover. It’s this understated approach that makes it feel distinct, tapping into a raw fear that’s both relatable and deeply unsettling. There's a palpable sense of dread that lingers long after the credits roll.
