![]() ![]() Cold Storage creates a "what if" scenario in which a similar fungus affects humans and other creatures, resulting in a story that is somehow gorier than one with the walking dead we've come to know so well. Essentially, it's a fungus that hijacks ants' minds and manipulates them into killing themselves in a way that will make the fungus spread to the greatest number of other ants – say, by dying where there are lots of ants around and then, after the spores have had time to percolate, exploding. You probably don't know what an Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is, but you've likely heard of what it does. Instead, he tries to take the familiar genre down a road more rooted in scientific realism, through with a wealth of balls-to-the-wall suspense. Thankfully, with this tale Koepp doesn't go down the well-worn path of brain munching and guns blazing. When you hear about a new disease horror story in this day and age, often the first things that come to mind are zombies, and that's exactly what you'll find in Cold Storage, the latest thriller by screenwriter David Koepp ( Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man). ![]()
