Cold Storage (2026)

Skylab comes down in 1979, a farmer in Western Australia turns a surviving chunk into a homemade museum, and that’s the smartest decision anyone makes in Cold Storage. The rest is a cheerful B-movie about a fungus waking up under a self-storage place in Kansas. Critics called it familiar, and it is: the beeping alarm, the sealed vault, the expert on the phone telling everyone to stay hidden. David Koepp’s script needed one more polish. The fun is the cast. Joe Keery and Georgina Campbell play Teacake and Naomi, two night-shift guards with zero training and plenty of chemistry, and they make bad choices in a way you root for. Liam Neeson shows up as Robert Quinn, a bioterror veteran with the weary face of a man who has seen this fungus before. Keep the kids away, because it gets gooey. It holds an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. A 5.8 because it’s a goofy, gross good time with a script on autopilot. $19.62 says you pick every mushroom off your next pizza and inspect it like evidence.

What works: Joe Keery and Georgina Campbell make a likable duo, and the film embraces its campy B-movie spirit with a wry sense of humor.

What doesn’t: The story is very familiar, and the script needed a sharper polish to be more than a fun, disposable creature feature.

Who it’s for: Grown-up horror fans who like their creature features short, gooey and goofy.
