Details

Shadow Walkers is a highly suspenseful story of a group of lab technicians and military personnel who awaken in a subterranean laboratory with no memory of who they are. They quickly discover that they are sealed in, with only one way to get out alive. They must travel deeper into the underground facility to an escape tunnel that leads to the surface. Hindered by the fact there is only limited electrical power, they struggle through the darkness where they uncover a hive of genetically mutated creatures that stalk them from the shadows. Bred for combat, these monsters are endowed with razor sharp talons and rows of jagged teeth capable of ripping a man apart. While avoiding danger at every turn, they begin to regain their memories, discovering the origin of the deadly creatures and the part they played in their creation.

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
jillwilkie03 The previous comments stated probably already summarized this movie to what it truly is, "Terrible". What the director needed to actually do was take a look at his plot, realize how senseless and unoriginal it is, and not go on with it. Instead, he just generated a bad plot and turned it into an even worse movie.You don't really need to even get pass the credits to realize how terrible this movie becomes. Right off the bat you see terrible special effects take place as the "Creature" tries to pick off the people one by one. The sound effects? It is very repetitive. You only need to hear one sound effect scream for the female and then the male and you can from there on figure out it's the same, not at any point even trying to use the own actor's screams themselves.Then you have the acting, oh at least I think it is. Acting of which every character seems to lack. With easily to determine fake horrific expressions and a monotone look on each of their face, it's no surprise that they only add salt to an open wound.Really a movie like this should be discarded even if given for free. The amount of time you spend watching this movie, can very well be spent better by staring at paint drying. With such unsubtle music appearing at inappropriate times, bad acting, and horrible special effects, the only good thing a movie like this can be said is that at least it's in color.
Paul Andrews The Shadow Walkers starts as a small number of scientists & security personal wake up in the depths of the Medicorp Genetic Containment Facility, at first they have no idea who they are or what they doing there except Dr. Clay (Clay Adams) who seems to have all the answers. The assorted group of Medicorp employees quickly realise that they are not alone as the genetic mutant creatures created by them for the US military are on the loose & hungry for blood. They need to stick together to find a way out before they are either killed or turned into genetic monsters themselves...Directed by Mark Steven Grove this is yet another horrible, poorly made shot on a camcorder & edited on a PC zero budget horror film that is quite literally painful to sit through. The script by Dave Hodel takes basic concepts & ideas from Aliens (1986) & adds a whole lot of Resident Evil (2002) & throws a little bit of Night of the Living Dead (1968) into the mix as well. The whole film is a very predictable & by-the-numbers genetic monsters hunt & kill small group of humans in isolated location for no particular reason other than they are 'monsters' type scenario. The character's are awful, are we supposed to believe that a bunch of teenagers were in fact hired by the US Government as genetic experts to create super soldiers? I'm sorry but since when did you see a 19 year old genetic scientist? I would have though genetic scientists, doctors & experts would have been at least out of their teens. When's the last time you saw a fully qualified doctor who was in their teens? It's a very complicated job which requires years of training & experience. If three 19 year old kids came to you & claimed they were highly qualified & experienced genetic scientists would you believe them? Then there's the awful story, it is never explained why the group wake up with no memory of who they are, how Clay survives an attack & doesn't turn into a monster like everyone else, if the US military wanted to keep everything underground in the Genetic Containment Facility why was the hatch to the outside left unlocked so anyone or anything could just freely walk out & there are various annoying flashbacks too. At almost 100 minutes it goes on for too long, it's boring, it's predictable & the majority of the film is nothing more than teenagers running around very dark corridors.Director Grove doesn't do anything to make The Shadow Walkers any more bearable, every so often the film goes from horror to karate as whenever a genetic monster attacks it usually ends up having a martial arts fight with one of the human cast members. There's no scares & no atmosphere, maybe the makers felt that simply by shooting the film in really dark locations so you can't hardly see anything would create a atmosphere. It doesn't, it just annoys. The gore is minimal, there's some fake blood splatter, someone has his arm ripped off, a monster is impaled on a pipe & very little else. The special effects are far from impressive either, the monster mask make-up effects are poor & cheap looking.Technically the film is poor & looks every bit as cheap as it was. The locations look like car parks & maintenance tunnels, they are very repetitive & dull looking as well as being very poorly lit & shot. The acting is poor from no-one you have ever heard of.The Shadow Walkers is a rubbish predictable low budget horror with a terrible story that doesn't make much sense & has plenty of holes in it, it has really dark photography so you can barely see what's happening half the time & it has an unforgivable lack of decent horror or gore. I really can't see anyone paying good money for The Shadow Walkers & actually enjoying it.
Johnathan B Yes, I gave it four stars. Was the acting bad? I think the producer got what he paid for. Were the special effects laughable? Same answer as earlier. The plot, I think it was a decent amalgam of successful movie plots, (although poorly executed). I'm sure this was meant to be a funny (for the most part). I think a different director would have made all the difference. The way that some of the scenes played out was plain laughable. I mean the martial arts was kind of cool, but come on! These are supposed to be super strong fast kinda intelligent zompires. ( I say that because at some points in the movie he protects himself with light from a flashlight.) I think that a better director could have really done something with this film. That or more boobs. I vote for more boobs. I recommend watching this drunk with friends.
Slym_sim I just created my IMDb profile just to comment this movie At first when I saw the cover of the DVD box, it looked like an interesting Resident Evil type movie (I like those movies even if we are invaded by those these days), so I bought it. Yep 10$ I'll never see again. When I watched the movie for the first time on my PC, I thought they had put the wrong movie on the DVD. I have one random question, why is there a picture of a girl on the cover? Anyways, I just couldn't believe it.At first, as the movie starts, all meanings of "acting" disappears. It's hard to become absorbed in a movie where the characters are acting just like if they were playing in "Scary Movie". The main character, who's supposed to be an army men or something, doesn't know how to hold a shotgun coreclty and has a very mind buzzing/confusing way of fighting. Maybe I'm too used to seeing movies like "The Matrix" or Jet Lee movies, but I think there's a limit.The visual effects and the editing are poor. I was sure it was a 90's horror movie inspired who's director's vision was highly inspired by Power Rangers, but then I saw on IMDb that it was a 2006 release. I was speechless. Come on, replay 5 times the same stunt in 60 diff angles with 15fps poor slow motion effects and fades is bad. I am sure the movie was filmed with a 200$ digital camera with a 5$ computer microphone and edited with Windows Movie Maker. No, I'm sorry, WMM can't make green screen effects, which were unaceptable for a 2006 production.The music makes no sense with the actions that are presented. What's the deal with the terrific metal band that plays the music for the "action" scenes... The first song kinda sounded OK.The sound effects are so cheesy. Some sounds were obviously directly taken from games and/or taken from a very common sound database. I'm sure I've heard some Starcraft sounds in there. The creatures' voice changing is hilarious.The costumes and the make-up is laughable. The army related costumes are the best. Like I have these clothes at home in a closet we never open. The make-up is soooo outdated. They used the same type of make-up in the 1922 movie "Nosferatu" without the green. Personnaly, I wouldn't be so scared of weird green face monsters with plastic teeth.The setting is (im running out of vocabulary). They managed to film almost the entire movie in a subterranean parking. I think this is pretty impressive, but sad.If you want to rent a scary movie, stay as far as you can from this movie. If you want to rent a funny movie, jump on this one, its the best because it wasn't meant to be funny. If you want, you can actually make copies this film and sell them legally, because the government knows you won't make a penny out of it.
