... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreI have heard the scary stories of shadow people for quite a while now, so when I saw this movie I was very excited to delve right in. Unfortunately, I pretty disappointed.The film started out pretty well, giving us little glimpses of what was to come. However, the outcome wasn't presented well. The scares are far and few in between and only one is memorable.The writing and directing was good, even with the hidden messages throughout the film (the main reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 3). The acting, not so much. Sometimes it felt rehearsed and even in a few moments it was overacted, and to me this was a problem with the film. There were some interesting moments, but not enough to really keep my attention.My biggest problem with this film was a plot hole, and a pretty obvious one. I clicked on the "Contains Spoilers" box just in case, but I don't want to reveal anything if I can help it. All I will say is that the plot hole is with the film that they find, and the theory the doctor gives and how that it doesn't fit. To me that was the biggest downfall of this film.I didn't really enjoy it and probably wouldn't recommend it either.
... View MoreIgnoring the crappy special effects for the "shadows" themselves or the overused "jump scares" (which got old after the first two jumps), they actually end up explaining the whole shadow people bit scientifically.Well that was frackin fun.Sitting through an hour to realize that the whole movie is based on boring real life disease. There is no horror in whole movie, instead we get a weird fake documentary mix that just makes you wanna punch the director in the mouth.4/10 (Four cause the premise would've worked well in a good horror movie)
... View MoreThis is a very solid little horror film that does a great job of combining mock-documentary footage and a straight narrative. Also, the filmmakers have seeded the film with subliminal word messages hidden in a few quick cuts and blurry images, which is kind of funny and amusing. It's individual words sprinkled through the film o spell out: NOW YOU WILL SEE THEM TOO!!! I really appreciate this little touch and would love to read or hear about this choice. I watched it on VOD, so now I'll have to pick up a copy of the DVD or blu-ray to see if they talk about this at all.I am a sucker for a good ghost story, and while this isn't "ghosts", it is creepy and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end more than once. It also reminds me of my college days of staying up late and listening to Art Bell on his spooky AM radio talk show.If you like creepy, slow-burn horror you should defiantly give this a watch.
... View MoreI really liked this, first thing is its not a gore/blood fest ( which is a good thing) its more a creep/freak you out movie, I watched it about 2am on my own in the dark and it freaked me out, I thought it was a cool original quite scary idea, with some great writing and ideas and some great acting, it would of been easy to make this feel cheesy and cheap but it doesn't the main character does a superb job of portraying the sceptic to believer, its a shame it has a low score which will instantly put people off this movie as recently especially in this genre it's rare to find something original and so well done, I hate to admit after watching it I actually turned the light on to go to sleep lol I can't remember the last time a movie had that effect, well worth watching just don't expect a slasher or make you jump movie it's more one that freaks you out when thinking about it, which you will do
