“The cinematography is masterfully done...”
“The production is polished, with painterly lighting effects from Jayson Crothers...”
“Visual talents are very much on display here, effectively using light and space to evoke a timeless quality”
“...fantastically shot with lots of great visuals...”
“Coldwater is elegantly shot by Jayson Crothers...”
“The acting is top-notch, as is the cinematography (by Jayson Crothers)”
“Beautifully shot... every frame of this film is an image of beauty, which makes its shocking content all the more powerful.”
“Tech credits are top notch throughout, with D.P. Jayson Crothers lensing the film in a way that captures the beauty and the soullessness”
“Coldwater is impressively executed, with Jayson Crothers’ slick and climatic camerawork adding a much desired mystery to the grit, sweat, and blood”
“Production values - especially Jayson Crothers’ evocative lensing - are first-rate across the board. Indeed, Crothers deserves a special shout-out simply for taking a fresh approach to one of the most tiresome of visual clichés - i.e. a nightmare sequence - and making it genuinely, well nightmarish.”
“There’s a stillness to the cinematography and an eeriness amongst the slow, creeping dolly work that creates a strong sense of unease. The film is riddled with creepy imagery...”
“...unnerving and unexpected visuals that keep viewers uneasy. Much of the film feels like a nightmare that is only slightly off from reality, with just enough of the uncanny to make your skin crawl... conjures gorgeously frightening images and shots that will get into your brain and stay there. Even when everything seems fine, the cinematography tells us it clearly isn’t.”
“Exceptional work behind the camera by cinematographer Jayson Crothers.”
