COLD IN JULY / June 11, 13, 14, 15

June 11, 13, 14, 15 

The spirits of 1980s genre maestros like John Carpenter, Walter Hill and William Lustig hover strongly over Jim Mickle’s Cold in July, a smart, compellingly nuanced piece of Texas pulp fiction that was a hit at this year’s Sundance Festival. Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard and an exuberant Don Johnson star.  Mickle (Stake Land, We Are What We Are) continues to show that he’s among the most distinctive genre filmmakers on the indie scene and a noble upholder of a bygone B-movie tradition. (109 min)

 UNFORGETTABLE! Jim Mickle is the new John Carpenter, and if you’re into that kind of thing and haven’t heard about him, you soon will. Cold in July, which premiered here at Sundance to a rousing response on Tuesday, ought to complete the process of getting him noticed. While walking away from the theater, I overheard a producer-type on her phone back to New York or L.A., holding an impromptu meeting whose subject was: How do we get this guy to make our next movie? –Andrew O’Hehir, Salon
