What a waste of my time!!!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Although this movie fell under "Thriller" on Netflix, it is more of a horror movie. I don't care for horror because they are not made-well and always seem to be the juvenile, gratuitous-skin, slasher-kind . This movie, on the other hand, I really liked. It is the kind of movie that actually scared me. It is slow, but it builds-up and is well-acted. Could have done without the vaginal scene, but loved the build-up on the scare factor. People are posting that there is no plot and they didn't understand it. Leo put a spell on Elena, who in turn transferred to the baby and in turn transferred to the father-That's it. Just enjoy the movie!

SHELLEY is a Danish 'evil baby' film so obtuse as to be a really frustrating viewing experience. It's a low budget and exceptionally long winded story, in which very little actually happens in the way of action or incident throughout the lengthy story. Instead this is a film all about mood and creepy notes on the soundtrack; it's all hints and shadows and very little of anything actually concrete.I found it a slog to sit through, if I'm honest. The writers fail to make any of the characters interesting or likable so the story just sort of washes over you rather than involving you. There are a few effective horror moments but these really are few and far between. The film's almost complete refusal to offer answers or definitive plot events is very frustrating, especially at the non-ending. If you want an 'evil baby' film then there are plenty of better ones out there, even the clichéd American offerings.

Granted this film is a slow burn but the cinematography, dark atmosphere, acting, and score was top notch. Should watch when you are more relaxed and patient cause when you get there you will found it was worth the wait. I am a huge horror fan and I am sick and tired of the basic 90 min horror films that throw all the things at you in the first frame but with this director you have to have patience to fully understand the movie. There was 3 scenes I had to rewind that I missed the first time of viewing this movie. I agree with the thought of Rosemary's Baby by the way of David Lynch and I think it deserves a view. This is a solid horror film.

A very interesting horror film which mostly leans on building an atmosphere of dread. It makes it successfully thanks to Ali Abassi's neat direction, the exciting photography (very good work with the lighting) and the well organized editing (pay attention to the rotation of the scenes which are taking place inside the house and the shots of the environment outside of it). The story of Shelley isn't very original but is told through a very elliptical narration. This will begrudge many viewers with limited patience since most of the answers the movie puts are not answered clearly. A daring way to narrate which i appreciated. 7/10
