Wow, that was fast. Just a few days ago I wrote about director David Slade’s ever-expanding slate, which now includes a bizarro project called COLD SKIN. Well, the film already has a promo poster! Fango got the first look, which you’re getting a sneak peak at above. To see the whole thing, head on over HERE.
In case you missed it, here’s the wild plot of COLD SKIN, which is based on the book by Albert Sanchez Pinol: An unnamed European of unspecified nationality is hired to spend an unspecified mid-20th-century year logging wind conditions on a tiny Antarctic island. Anticipating solitude, the bookish young man soon discovers that he has a neighbor—the pathologically reclusive Gruner—and that each night, the island is overrun by humanoid killer amphibians. He and brutish Gruner—who has tamed a “toad” of his own—join forces, killing monsters by night and fornicating with Gruner’s pet by day. Inspired by the creature’s ability to laugh and cry—to say nothing of her perky breasts, knack for housework and wordless submissiveness—the narrator begins to think of the cold-blooded creatures as human.
F*cking freaky, no?
