This is a weird thriller. A woman shares a taxi cab with a guy and asks him on a date the next night. He can't believe his luck, as he's new to town in Hollywood. They meet, go back to his hotel room and have sex. But when he wakes up the next morning he finds her gone-and written in huge letters on the wall is 'H.I.V' , along with an unhappy smiley face.This sets him over the edge. He finds out where the woman lives (where the taxi had let her out the day before), kidnaps her in a newly purchased used van-takes her back to a workshop he rented out for the night-then proceeds to torture her to death and finally dismembers her body.The next day he drives out to the woods and is burying the remains when some campers accidently stumble upon him. Well, he can't have any witnesses so he has to take care of them as well. When will the killing stop?Although the movie takes place in the USA I thought it weird that the four main characters all have distinctly Spanish accents, which isn't adequately explained (well, the woman is supposed to be from Italy!). Why not just make it take place in Spain or Mexico? Yet I did like it, as it was unpredictable and so unapologetic in its violence. COLDGRIP is a grim, nasty piece of entertainment. If you're sick of these recent middle-of-the road pussy Hollywood horror movies then you should rent this flick.From Maverick Entertainment.www.maverickentertainment.cc
