The Shadow People

Maybe I should have read the reviews of this movie on IMDb prior to sitting down to watch it, and thus have saved myself the wasting of time. But I am getting ahead of myself here.

I hadn't heard about this 2017 horror movie titled "The Shadow People" before now in 2020 when I was given the chance to sit down and watch it. And I must admit that I was intrigued by the movie's cover and the title. However, I hadn't read the synopsis for the movie. But it within the horror genre was more than sufficient for me.

The storyline was a mess. So very little of the events that took place throughout the course of the movie made little sense. Some of it was odd and slightly disturbing, sure. But when the reveal towards the end was unfolded on the screen you just sit there with a feeling of everything throughout the movie made even less sense, if any at all.

"The Shadow People" has a fairly generic storyline, which was somewhat on the more boring and mundane aspect most of the time. There were the occasional random interesting thing happening now and again, but it wasn't enough to make the movie interesting.

The acting in "The Shadow People" was actually adequate, taking into consideration the bland storyline and script conjured up by David Wilson and brought to life on the screen by director Brian T. Jaynes.

My rating of this 2017 movie lands on a generous three out of ten stars. "The Shadow People" is not really worth the time or effort, and if you enjoy a proper horror movie then there are far better choices out there.
