FountainPen "Excellent movie!" so says "makevuoidame" who adds that he/she is "a big fan of horror movies". That person has only ever reviewed TWO movies on IMDb. Yes, it pays to be suspicious of maximum ratings when the overall IMDb score is below 6/10. Anyway, this film 'Shadow' is fairly good with a reasonable amount of action and suspense, plus it has two likable victims. I rated it 6/10, the most I felt possible, all aspects considered. Cinematography should have been a LOT better. It becomes rather nasty, violent and grisly after 35 minutes ! 6/10
cinecephale I am very very very patient with horror movies, but this one was just unbearable. It is a big mess of ideas stolen from many films : a survivalist twist from Deliverance, the monster from Creep, a bit of torture porn from, well, anywhere. And, ho! a reference to our troubled times of wars and fears - which is just plain shocking because it exploits a real tragedy to pretend the film has a meaning. Add disposable actors, ridiculous hunters-with-big-trucks-and-dog, maybe haunted forest lost very far from civilization and you have a headache. The end doesn't explain anything, it just justify the lack of coherence and originality of the scenario.That kind of films give to the horror genre its bad reputation!
ZombieSteak .com I found this movie surprisingly amazing! It was a total fluke that we watched this as we settled in to watch a movie way too late and wanted to pick one quickly. To our luck we ended up picking this one based on the cover (Netflix).Two people alone in the woods anger two crazy hillbillies. Sounds like your typical slasher film right? Half way through the movie they add a little bit of a twist and add some ghosts stalking everyone in the woods. Sounds like a ghost movie now? Well now add in some crazy looking guy that could be the long lost Uncle of the monsters from the movie "The Descent" who is obsessed with the holocaust and Dr. Mengele's human experiments. What do you have now? With all mentioned above it may sound confusing but it isn't when at the end the Directors message packs a hard punch with an incredible twist.I love when I watched a movie expecting nothing too special and end up watching a great flick like this one. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time in this film, wonderfully made horror film, the type of perfect horror movie that sucks you in.ZombieSteak.com - Discover a new world of horror films, designed just for you.
tomtc Another one slasher movie - one of thousands. Even if there are some violent scenes - it's not a splatter.The story is absolutely nothing new. It has no kick, it has no thrill and you will not be surprised by the next scene. Adding some war elements will also not save the movie. There are also many confusing scenes, i.e. if you're chased by a car: would you run on the road or into woods? Actors are quite a low average however I watched the German version.Also the budget of this movie was quite surprising for me: 1 million euro. I guess they spent 900.000 for the camera rental. I couldn't see the money elsewhere.This movie was a pure waste of time for me - I'm very disappointed. Watch it if you have really nothing better to do.
