Bone Cold - Ghost Sniper

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.

This film from the offset told me it wasn't big budget, but what we have here is low budget at its finest.

Ive watched big budget movies that were not even as good as this.

Great actors and editing, the colonel was on point and the 2 man team worked well as it kept you drawn onto them.

Anymore would have been chaos to try and understand the too many multiple characters.

The story puts you on what i can only tell is PTSD,EXPOSURE TO HARSH CONDITIONS,POOR INTEL.

All of which when combined will play tricks on the mind.

8/10 from me and a must watch, ill watch again, pick up the blueray version.

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.

Dreadful. Just dreadful. It started out ok seemed to have a good story but like a skier went downhill fast! As for playing the rolls as a spotter and a sniper not even close to being believable at all. This was a movie you want to enjoy but half way through you know you made the wrong decision but since you've gone this far you might as well stick it out to the end just hoping it takes a turn and surprises you. Nope the only surprise here is that I made the foolish decision to watch till the end and waste my time with this trash. This could have been a pretty good movie in fact I wanted it to be a good movie but the movie just didn't want to cooperate. Keep moving nothing to see here.

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.
