Details

After someone is killed in the subterranean project called "Shadowzone," a NASA captain is called in to investigate. In the project, sleeping subjects are induced into a deep EDS state whereby they become portals to a parallel universe. Unfortunately this causes adverse reactions in the subject, and something gets through the portal, the consequence of which is an attrition problem.

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
alistairc_2000 I had watched this fullmoon picture about 10 years back and thought that it was just a substandard Alien clone. I was trawling the cheapo shops and saw it cheap so I thought what the hell I will give it another shot. First shock was that it was written and directed by JS Cardone of Forsaken and Slayer fame. He can be really good when he gets it right. The plot. In a underground bunker experiments are taking place, unfortunately there has been an accident and one of the test subjects has died. So an investigation has to take place. When it is instigated the sleeping person opens a doorway to another dimension. This plot is pure From Beyond without the style of the aforementioned movie. Something comes through the doorway and comes into this world. We then get treated to Alien meets Galaxy of terror. Where is the alien? People go searching and get blotted. Conclusion Its cheap, its nasty and I quite enjoyed it. It was worth the £2 I paid for it. Top marks for the nudity and the little bits of gore. 5/10 for the rest of the movie.
Vomitron_G "Shadowzone" was produced by Full Moon Entertainment, and it's one of their better movies. This one also proofs that the company was at its best during the late 80's/early 90's. In the late 90's and especially after 2000 they released nothing but bad, crappy movies, I'm very sorry to say (I grew up watching & enjoying Charles Band's old school stuff, so I know where I'm coming from). Like I said, "Shadowzone" is quite good and it certainly is not a mindless "The Thing" rip-off, as some people claim. Capt. Hickock is sent to a secret underground NASA-facility to investigate the sudden death of a test subject. NASA was doing dream-research and Hickock soon finds out that the experiments opened a portal to another dimension... and something found its way through. This is not an ordinary monster/creature-on-the-loose-in-an-underground-facility flick. Because the creature has the ability to alter its molecular structure and take the shape of your most deepest fears. The acting is pretty decent, especially Louise Fletcher (yes, the head-nurse from "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest") and Dave Beecroft (who kinda looks like a younger version of Fred Ward). James Hong was also fun to see as Dr. Van Fleet, losing control over his experiments. The special effects were rather good (as is the case in any early Full Moon film) with a highlight being a bloody head-explosion (complete with popping veins and all). The climax near the end wasn't anything special, but the ending nevertheless was sorta satisfying. I'd say: If you haven't seen any Full Moon film yet, then you might as well start with this one.
HumanoidOfFlesh "Shadowzone" is a typical horror film from Full Moon Entertainment.In the underground laboratory a group of scientists are doing experiments with dreams.They accidentally kill one of the volunteers.David Beecroft is sent to investigate the death.When he arrives there,he finds out that the scientists have released a monster from a dream dimension.All of them are stuck under the ground while the monster kills them."Shadowzone" is a surprisingly well-done horror film loaded with nudity and graphic violence.The acting is decent and the characters are well-developed.The climax is disappointing,though.The film is still worth checking out,if you like bloody monster flicks.My rating:7 out of 10.
ecto216 Wow, I'm at a loss for how bad this movie is. I love Full Moon and all of their early work, such as Puppet Master, Trancers, and Demonic Toys, and I have a great appreciation for a lot of their talent and independent films, but this?! This doesn't get any stars from me!There is not one character to care about, the plot is full of holes, the story, or lack there of, is atrocious to begin with...I can go on, but I think I'll stop. Bottom line, if you thought full moon movies they make today like Trancers 6, Stitches, and Shrieker suck, you haven't seen anything until you watch this! At least those movies had maybe one or two redeeming moments. This one has noneTake my word for it and listen to this warning. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! I love horror, I love B-Films, but this movie fails to meet the expectations I have for both. 1 out of 10
