It’s been a minute since we had a good gross-out horror, biohazard outbreak comedy movie in the vein of Planet Terror or Slither. Well, our wait for a new entry in this subgenre is nearly over. French production company Studio Canal has just dropped the trailer for Cold Storage, the new film from director David Koepp. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Koepp wrote the original Jurassic Park screenplay, as well the first Mission: Impossible and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man.

His latest film is based on his 2019 novel of the same name. The producers of the cult classic Zombieland are also involved with this one. The film stars Liam Neeson, fresh off the success of The Naked Gun , and Joe Keery, who will have just wrapped up five seasons of Stranger Things. You can check out the first Cold Storage trailer right here:

And here’s the official plot synopsis for Cold Storage from Studio Canal to accompany that trailer:

Teacake and Naomi, two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious microorganism multiplies and unleashes its terrors on the facility’s inhabitants – human and otherwise. With time running out, it’s down to Teacake and Naomi, with the help of a grizzled bioterror operative, to contain the rapidly mutating menace and prevent the explosive extinction of Mankind itself.

This looks very much like a Halloween Horror Nights maze come to life, and we’re not complaining. Also starring in Cold Storage are Georgina Campbell, Sosie Bacon, Vanessa Redgrave, and Lesley Manville. There’s no official release date for the film yet, but the trailer confirms it’s hitting theaters sometime in 2026.
