The Cold Open

About This Movie

So, 'The Cold Open' is quite the curious piece. Aubrey Plaza heads this satanic cult of actresses, and there's this unsettling atmosphere that permeates the film. It’s like a love letter to the indie scene, but twisted in a way that makes you question everything. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build while the cult goes through their bizarre rituals, which are mostly practical effects—a nice break from CGI-heavy stuff. The performances, especially Plaza's, are haunting yet captivating, really embodying the desperation to preserve something that's fading away. It’s definitely distinct, more of an art piece than a traditional horror flick, and that cult angle? Well, it adds an intriguing layer to the whole narrative.
