The Coldness

Nick Polito a retired Jersey City homicide detective with a haunted past comes to Los Angeles in search of answers to a recent gruesome death that is shockingly similar to a case that has been an obsession for him since 1999. Determined to find out what actually happened, Nick connects with his former partner and encounters a cast of characters that lead him steadily down a disturbing path into lethal occult darkness.

Directed by Gustavo Sampaio, The Coldness leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Parducci, Ana Zimhart, Patrick Thomas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2024.
