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.

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)...

After a disastrous mission gone awry, an elite sniper team tasked with taking out the leader of a Ukrainian terrorist squad on the Russian border are haunted by a strange creature that may or may not be stalking them through the wilderness and must try to figure out its existence to leave alive.

Overall, this was an enjoyable if somewhat troublesome genre effort. When this one works the best is the fantastic mixture of high-end action scenes mixed with thrilling creature action. The military-based setup here featuring the team running through the wilderness going through their missions which require tons of tactical weaponry alongside the full-on firefights that take place not just for the successful mission that opens the film but also the botched one that sets the main story in motion that pits them against not just an enemy sniper but the other ground forces in the middle of their mission. This type of interplay is mixed together throughout the rest of the adventure back to their base when the creature starts getting more involved and bringing about a fantastic idea of whether or not he's a figment of the tortured psyche within. This comes across rather nicely and manages to generate a lot of really likable features here challenging whether his interactions with the team and those they come across are really happening with others bearing witness to it as well but the initial encounters cast doubt over this leading to an intriguing enough concept that gets utilized quite well here. There are some minor drawbacks that do emerge here to bring it down. The main feature is the surprisingly confusing layout of the film as it seems to shift constantly between this psychological mindset for the creature or a genuine article. There's evidence for both interpretations, with the first sighting occurring just after the botched mission that's a clear metaphor for the repressed guilt hovering over him with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. However, since there are also implications that those around him are also aware of its existence the use of both plausible explanations without committing to one is a weird take to go here. The other factor that goes along with the film not being able to commit to a specific style rests on its overlong and plodding pacing. The film runs a good ten-to-fifteen minutes too long with several implications that aren't really necessary, including the constant echoes of his grief eating at him which just ends up creating a highly repetitive feeling here with the cutbacks to his interactions with his family trying to get over what happened that are repeated in the field with his friend. This becomes quite tedious being utilized as such here dragging the running time out for no reason, which is enough to keep this down.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

One word WTF!!!

Super confusing, so many unanswered questions. Could have been a good movie, but poor explanations and storyline. As the movie goes on, more confusion multiplies. It makes you scratch your head and scream WHATTTTT Then there're new confusions on and on and on... No answers!!!! I can't believe I watched it till the end, but because I wanted to find out, what the hell was actually all about. Then it ended and I was like, no moron you can't leave me hanging in there with no explanations but it did!!!

One of those movies that make you frustrated and come out of the theatre with question mark on your face.

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.

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.

Bone Cold executes its premise flawlessly. It's a character study, written in blood and biting snow. Soldiers are asked to pledge everything for a cause, and the toll is always more than just physical. This movie takes that theme, infuses it with a healthy dose of matinee creature feature, but never loses sight of its poignancy. When you get to the climax, which I will not spoil, everything is placed in sharp relief. Family, loyalty, patriotism, love. Bone Cold is a movie about the things that matter most. As a sidenote, the logistics of filming so much of this movie in the snow-covered forest are quite impressive here. Highly recommend a watch.

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!!!!

This movie already has a low rating but after starting it it seemed to not be totally low budget bad. However about 25 minutes in the two main characters were trying to identify a target, only had a few basic descriptions, I had to go back and check. At the mission debrief they had a picture of the guy they were sent after. Seriously they were presented with a picture of their target. Then on site they can't verify the dude? Come on guys, this just made the movie implausibly dumb I gotta question every aspect. Like not using proper weather protection despite what are sub freezing temps, not caring about footprints in snow, etc.

Terrible!!!

Any Amazon subscribers reading this and other reviews, please don't get sucked in by the start. This becomes a very weird movie.

The acting seemed okay, the start looked promising, the storyline was plausible momentarily.

Both spotter and sniper were to be infiltrated into Ukraine via Nothern Russia?

The dreams and hallucinations, shape shifting gouls, people supposedly being shot and getting up again. Wait for the final explanation, it's still weak and doesn't make sense.

1 hour 40 minutes seemed like 3 hours.

The colonel has a lot to answer for.

The CIA didn't need to be there, he didn't add anything.

I wouldn't say it's worth a 9 rating as a fair amount of reviews have given it. The effects are really good, though so I've given it more for that reason. A lot of these low budget films have really bad effects with little or no story which makes you want to not watch it, this isn't one of them. There's a fair amount of blood etc. The acting is also decent, I just needed a little more story to it though, where was it going or what was its purpose, as it seemed to be an little lost towards the end. Other than that it was ok and worthy of a watch. I certainly wouldn't say it's below a 4 rating which some have also given this film.

This was the worst movie I've seen in years. Terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible directing. The guy dressed in the cheap monster suit was laughable and his purpose in the movie was pointless. I still can't believe any studio would agree to release this garbage. They used a strip mall storefront for an Army base. The Army Colonel had the wrong uniform insignia and a beard! This movie seriously looked like it was filmed by a group of friends in the backyard with a budget of $1,000. Such a waste of my time. Billy Hanson should have his movie making privileges revoked. I will be sure to red flag his name on any future films.

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 just watched this film on Amazon Prime and this is usually not my cup of tea but I found it very gripping.

The story is compelling and sure, like others have said here, you have to suspend belief some but, hey, it's not a docudrama!

I thought the writing and direction was solid and the acting top-notch.

I won't spoil anything but there is one character in particular, who only appears in a couple of scenes, who I really enjoyed and talked about after the movie.

Not ever having served in the military I have no way of measuring whether the experiences of the characters approached reality but once again, I found the movie compelling and thoroughly watchable.

It's taken a while for me to come across a film that offers escapism and action, alongside a thoughtful throughline which makes me feel good after watching it.

The twists and turns (for some of the more skeptical viewers) might be predictable, but I found them unexpected. I half expected the entire mission to be in Jon's mind, so I was surprised when it was more grounded and gripping and dangerous than I could have predicted.

The film has also the PTSD throughline which is accurately and solidly portrayed. Director Hanson made sure to consult with Veterans, and has also screened the film in theaters specifically for Veterans, receiving resounding sign off on what war, and the aftermath (both emotional and physical) is like, and that he accurately portrayed it for his characters. (I know a reviewer who thought Hanson had insulted Vets, and I'm pleased to confirm they are 100% INCORRECT.)

The PTSD storyline uses the story element of a creature hunting their prey to showcase what experiencing trauma is like, and it was amazing to finally feel like someone understood this, and made it something fightable.

You want the heroes to survive, to thrive, and to overcome and you are never sure if they will. You care that they are being betrayed at every turn, and you are completely swept up in the action which carries you every time you think you have a moment to draw breath.

Combine this with gorgeous film production value, it's a fun distraction for movie night and well worth your time.

This film is just really tight. It's a simple film, but it never feels like a little film. The performances are top notch. The lead actor carries the film, but there are certainly no slouches around him. Everyone delivers. And some of the small characters are exceptionally good.

The tension, which is what we are here for, is extremely well-played. The film is very economical with all the set-up before we get into the two-man team mission. A lot of films would have a group of five to eight people going on some mission, but you don't need here. The rapport between the two soldiers was great... and I was on the edge of my seat.

This is an indie that never feels like an indie. Deftly shot like a big budget action/suspense/thriller ride, it's worth your time.

This movie seems like an action movie on the surface, but is so much more. I knew nothing about this movie when I started watching it and I thought I knew where it was going, but it took a big turn and became something totally different. Super original. Good action, great suspense. I don't want to give too much away, but the story starts out with an action movie plot about a military plan that quickly goes wrong, but then a supernatural element is added that adds a great depth to the story and keeps it engaging in new ways. If you're looking for something interesting and unique, this is well worth your time.
