My review from a couple of months ago.

Cold Skin (2017)

An interesting and in it's way unique film from Xavier Gens - Frontier(s) (2007) - about a young man (David Oakes) who takes a job as a meteorologist on a remote South Atlantic island. The only other person there is the lighthouse keeper (Ray Stevenson), however as night falls it soon becomes apparent to the young man that the lighthouse keeper isn't the only one on the island.

The film has strong production values, beautiful photography and an icy atmosphere, it's well acted and the background story of isolation works well among the striking visuals of the night time creature attacks. It is a creature feature but in the mould of Assault on Precinct 13 yet it also has parallels with Alex Garland's Ex Machina in it's exploration of two males with, not in this case a female robot, but a female amphibian.

I enjoyed Cold Skin, it may not be for all, but it's Lovecraftian atmosphere and Gothic trappings should find fans on here.
