A couple of hot shot snipers are sent to Ukraine to take out a particular anarchist after being short changed on their leave time, which can really suck if you've just been deployed and were looking for some much needed R&R time with your family, only to be sent back out on a so called "simple" mission. Things get rather crazy as one of the snipers Jonathan Stoddard (John Bryant) hears shrieks and a strange shadow out in the woods. The tension builds as the "thing" stalks them both. Very creepy stuff and can be a bit scary at times. You cannot really tell if everything they are seeing is truly real or not, or tricks of the mind, the mission objectives are well choreographed as are the fight scenes, a few holes though as you do not know why the enemy girl sniper sees the "thing" and refuses to take the shot on John Bryant, it's as if she knows what it is and refuses to tangle with it, like it's a legend of the forest kind of thing, and she knows something we never know. A bit odd, but I went with it. An "OK" watch, some gore and extreme violence is portrayed. No nudity or questionable stuff a few foul words, other than that it's an interesting story on deep stress. Enjoy.
Holy @&$! What a complete waste of time!!
Ukraine // Russian border - ok
Secret Ops - ok
Alien Creature - scary as F and very confusing.
The acting is fine but the story line // plot is not-- WTF??? I get the point of the secret operations and that kind of stuff--what we don't understand is the alien creature and how that fits into the narrative- why oh why did the producer include that sub-plot?? We are still scratching our heads-
I will admit that the alien sub-plot held our interest, though. Beware of the creepy alien and the sounds of the forest- not for the faint of heart (or lungs, intestines, or guts)...

Bone Cold is a 2022 thriller written, edited, produced, and directed by Billy Hanson (Coach Hop Playlist, Lightning Dogs, Survivor Type, and Total Ghostage). An experienced Black Ops sniper Jon Bryant (played by: Jonathan Stoddard from Falling for a Killer and Of the Devil) attempts a nightmarish escape after a failed mission, tracked by enemy soldiers hellbent on revenge, and hunted by something sinister and monstrous, hungry and determined!!!!
Bone Cold is a mix between a thriller and a horror feature. This one isn't as action packed as I hoped. Honestly, most of it is in the trailer. It still has some solid moments but it's more of a character study than anything here if you trying to figure out what sub-genre it fits the best. The lead was decent in Bone Cold, I think he mainly does soap opera and television work for the most part. It has a smaller cast so he definitely carries Bone Cold with his performance. It has some good creature fx, cinematography, and music for this very low budget film. This one definitely feels like a indie production which is nice because lots of features try too hard and it hurts the final product. Bone Cold knows exactly what it is has to do with it's small budget and they use their funding in the right departments. I enjoyed it but I'm not sure if it has great replay value to it. This is worth checking out at least once!!!!

I thought the movie started on the right footing and was making sense. I'm not going to lie, the beginning of the movie was solid; the story was unfolding quite well. The black ops was going well, the operatives killing the wrong individual-this makes total sense (bad intel, I get that). The movie collapsed when the woman sniper saw the creature. For the movie to have made sense at that point, the Russian woman sniper should not have seen the creature. When she witnessed the creature, it wasn't PTSD coming from the two operatives anymore, the was as real as it gets. Overall, I give it a 2 star.
I really enjoyed this action and psychological horror film because it covers a lot of important themes, such as PTSD, what it means to serve in the military, and the sacrifices required. It doesn't spoon feed you the answers and it really makes you think.
Yes you come away with some questions, and not everyone is going to like that. But if you don't mind pondering a film and perhaps watching it more than once, I think you'll find it not only satisfying, but eye opening. It's incredibly creepy as well, and the score really sets the mood in every scene.
I've read in some other reviews there were some inconsistencies in the military uniforms and weapons etc. But if you haven't served in the military it doesn't affect the overall themes and plot of the film.
8/10 a solid film.
