Review of Cryo

Cryo (2022)
5/10
Fails but not through lack of trying
23 June 2022
Some people wake up in a bunker with their memories in tatters - I love this kind of thing.

It is obvious by the lighting and sets that this is on a bit of a tight budget - but also that the budget has been spent well and their are some talented people involved in this.

The same goes with the acting -everyone is doing a pretty good job.

A totally watchable film.

Unfortunately it is much, much, much too long.

Every time a clue is found, shining some light on the mystery, a piece of salient information is always missing rendering the clue useless.

A viewer can only go through this so many times before they lose interest.

The story plays out like a social deduction board game: a lot of the scenes are people in a room screaming "No you're the traitor!" at each other.

Add the mental instability of the characters and it soon becomes apparent that any dialogue is just a waste of time.

There was an ending, which was ok, but by then I was just glad this was finally over and I really couldn't care less what happened to the characters.

I think a sleeker, cut down edit of this film could really work.
