BODY KEEPERS

Cinemavixion Review

Shelly Cole's 2018 independent horror film, "Body Keepers," plunges into the chilling depths of a small-town mystery that quickly escalates into supernatural terror. Set against the backdrop of Nederland, Colorado, the narrative follows a group of disparate teenagers whose lives intersect when a classmate vanishes. Their subsequent argument about the disappearance leads to their forced collaboration on a festival project, a task that inadvertently guides them to a secluded shed. It is within this grim location that they stumble upon a horrifying secret: a body preserved on dry ice. This discovery acts as a catalyst, awakening an ancient and malevolent entity, transforming their mundane predicament into a desperate fight for survival against an 'ice cold hell.' While the film may not boast wide critical acclaim, its premise offers a unique blend of teen drama and supernatural horror, exploring themes of consequence and the darkness that can lurk beneath ordinary surfaces. The performances from Trevor Lyons, Austin Allwein, and Chantelle Darlena ground the increasingly terrifying events, making "Body Keepers" a notable entry for fans of low-budget, high-concept horror seeking a chilling, albeit grim, cinematic experience.
