Creepy First Poster for David Slade’s ‘Cold Skin’

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on May 4, 2009

It feels like just this morning I was writing about director David Slade — yep, in the Early Edition, that’s right — and talking about how he was ripping on the Twilight franchise a bit. I also may have mentioned that I’m a big fan. Both Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night made their way onto my top ten lists in their respective years. He’s got a unique visual style and has a knack for creating tension.

And despite the fact that all of the news surrounding this guy is going to be about the third Twilight film Eclipse, which he is set to direct, he also has another movie in the works. Cold Skin is a horror/psychological thriller based on a Spanish novel of the same name that follows a man that has been sent to a remote island on the edge of the Antarctic Circle to relieve a weather observer who has been stationed there in solitude. But when he gets to the island, he finds no trace of the man he’s set to replace, just a deranged castaway who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. From there, the terror begins.

Our friends at Shock Till You Drop have debuted the first poster for the film, which will go into production in March 2010. Click the image below to see their much larger version of the poster.
