Reviews

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
hwg1957-102-265704 Watching a bunch of dull characters mainly in one room screaming and behaving stupidly for 1 hour 29 minutes can be a trying experience and this was certainly that. It also made no sense whatsoever. It seemed more like a soap opera with horror bits thrown in to pad out the time. After trekking my laborious way through it hoping for some clarity to emerge one never knew what The Shadows were, whether the characters were dead and what the ending meant. Apparently The Shadows take you and you never come back but that is all the character development they get. The film is not helped by the acting. It does have an effective use of the song 'I Dreamt That I Dwelt In Marble Halls' over the opening credits and the sound was quite atmospheric, credit to Darcel Walker but apart from that the movie should go back to the shadows (and never come back).
Paul Magne Haakonsen "The Shadows" is listed as a movie under horror, mystery and thriller. But wow, this was a snoozefest of untold magnitude. I started drifted away from the movie early on, and the movie never managed to fully captivate me or lure me back in.Five friends are stuck at an old lighthouse, trapped by circumstance and trapped by a storm. They soon start having to face their own dark secrets and fears.Right... Well, the storyline seemed to have potential and might have worked on paper. But director Sabrina Mansfield failed to bring about a properly entertaining movie.The characters in the movie were one-dimensional and you never even once connected to anyone of them. And the cast, while trying their very best, just didn't have anything tangible to work with."The Shadows" is an excruciating movie to get through given its slow pace, inadequate storyline and lack of enthralling characters. "The Shadows" should stay in the shadows, shrouded and hidden away.If you enjoy a proper mystery then "The Shadows" should not be your first of movie choices.
Michael O'Keefe Not necessarily low-budget, but THE SHADOWS feels like it is lacking something. Nonetheless a nice chiller as it gets going. Five friends survive a wreck at sea and find shelter on an island near a lighthouse. They manage to find an old uninhabited house that brings many assumptions with strange found artifacts. While a storm brews, the group becomes troubled with unexplained noises and the belief they are being watched by weird shadows that seem menacing. These friends become more unsettled as secrets among themselves are brought to light and if the atmosphere is not creepy enough...a scattered young woman comes storming through the door warning of pirates on the way. By the woman's demeanor it is not clear if the pirates are real or just her imagination. As the group prepares for the worse, it is believed the pirates may be shadows of the past wanting to do them harm.The cast features: Elizabeth O'Brick, Nalita Murray, Vas Andreas, Jennifer Boarini and George O'Kreenke.
Chris Mackey (guestar57) Starring: Vaz Andreas, Nalita Murray.This film is pretty amazing seems set was half a light house and the shadows,literally.Acting was great and real,Some seem to really know the craft of performance.Minor flaw,and We know it has to be dark for shadows,BUT sometimes its too dark in a scene.The pirate character was awesome and the wench who didn't know she was dead.Vaz and Nalita steal the movie with strong scenes in focus of plot.Vaz has been in many Theasylum mockbusters. this was Nalita screen debut and she nailed it.
