Review of Cold Heaven (1992) by Gabriel K — 24 Nov 2012
Being a Nicolas Roeg fan, I put a considerable effort into finding this movie, which was no easy feat given it's been out of print for years and never released on DVD. Having finally watched it, I can see why it's not worth a DVD release.
Not sure if it's the worst Roeg's movie, but must it must be way up there. The story in itself is intriguing and had a potential for being an excellent psychological thriller. Unfortunately, the movie is so incoherent, nothing really makes sense (not in a good way) - as if the director wasn't sure what kind of movie he was attempting to make.
Really bad performances don't help matters, either. This could have been a TV movie directed by someone you never heard of, bit I honestly refuse to believe it was directed by the same person who brought us Walkabout and Bad Timing.
