El despertar del hombre de las sombras

When a young couple and their newly born child learn that their mother is missing they race back to their home town to assist in the search only to learn that the town holds a dark secret.

Sadly the dark secret is never fully explained and the film is an anti-climatic empty 90 minutes of boredom.

It's not that nothing happens, it's that nothing even remotely interesting happens.

The movie ends on about 50 question marks and that simply isn't acceptable.

The Good:

Jean Smart

The Bad:

Everyone else

I seriously can't figure out how I managed to watch this from beginning to end! This film is incredibly slow, horrible and very confusing! The story is lacking, with absolutely no explanation for anything! The acting was mediocre at best as well, which made for chronic yawning. The ending was completely horrible with no loose ends tied up. The whole thing made little to no sense and was just overall terrible! Whatever you do, DO NOT watch this film! Oh and P.S. this shouldn't be classified as a horror or thriller since it isn't even remotely terrifying, suspenseful or scary. Crap!

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I made my husband watch it just because the reviews were ok at first, but I can only asume that those reviews were from the pleople involved with the film.

Sadly it really is one of those boring, unoriginal horror movies, that makes ma crave the horrors of the nineties. There is a big difference between deliberate suspense and out and out boredom, and sadly the latter fits this film. So little seems to actually happen, apart from the melodrama among the rather odious family. I think they tried to make a statement with the content, and provide a shock with the tone and plot, but sadly it simply fell flat.

It's hard to find many positives, the acting wasn't bad in fairness, but that alone couldn't make up for the film being so boring. 4/10

Must be cheap budget, not a good idea for writers to act, or perhaps they were B-Movie actors trying to write, whatever way round it is, this movie didn't get my full attention, it was slow and boring, wish I had taken the other reviews as gospel, and not given it a chance like I always do, 30 minutes of my life I won't get back! I stopped watching live TV because the Adverts were literally wasting my life, a 90 minute movie became 180 minutes; meaning a whole 90 minutes, double the time of the movie is wasted on adverts! My life, that I won't get back, not to mention I am realising, I feel more awake than most people, subliminall messages suppressed perhaps? Any so I stopped, this is like stealing it back! I would rather watch adverts than sit through this drivel though, awaken the shadow man, more like send it to sleep! Certainly if i have trouble sleeping I will now know which movie to turn on! I couldn't make the whole movie, and instead read the full spoiler synopsis, which I wasn't impressed with! If you want to watch it, by all means but if I can save some people from wasting their lives, spending time writing this will be worth it!
