The Shed

It had plenty of scenes that simply didn't make sense and pretty obvious what type of things were about to happen all throughout the movie. However there was a bit of a plot twist in the end.

The two things that seemed unbearably nonsensical to me, is, (one) if you have a vampire living in your wooden shed on a farm, far away from people, why in heavens would you not set it ablaze during one of the many sunny days available?

Secondly, even though the vampire wronged the main character, the vampire seems to have a personal vendetta out for him for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

There's no backstory, so you really don't know what's the deal with the vampire population. Is it just the one at the beginning, what are the rules, etc

Well you know it's no good with a title like that and a rating of 15. I'm sure it's very scary if you have a Shed in the middle of nowhere and you are a kid that's not supposed to be watching it. It's a well made student movie. I'm sure they all graduated. Shows you most of the Horror techniques and overuses the Dream Sequence. Normal boring plotlines. In fact I dare say it's all been done before and better but what you going to do? It's not that bad..lol..

Granted, I had no idea what I was getting into here, aside from knowing it to be a horror movie. But given my interest in horror, of course I sat down to watch the 2019 movie "The Shed" when I was given the chance.

I will say that the movie is nicely filmed, produced and edited. But the storyline and script, however, was fairly weak and not overly interesting. Sure, the movie was watchable, but this was far from being a memorable or outstanding movie for me.

I did manage to endure writer and director Frank Sabatella's movie until the very end of the movie. However, I can't say that I was impressed, and the entertainment value for me was less than mediocre. There are far better movies readily available in the horror genre.

The acting in the movie was adequate, and I was initially somewhat thrilled to see Frank Whaley here, because that was a familiar face. In fact, that was the only familiar face for me in the movie. Jay Jay Warren and Cody Kostro carried the movie well enough with their performances, just a shame that they had next to nothing to work with in terms of script and storyline.

"The Shed" came and went without leaving much of a lasting mark on the horror genre, and this is definitely not a movie that I will be watching a second time around. And the last 10-15 minutes of the movie, while it was the most action-packed, was also the most anti-climatic - oddly enough. And the ending of the movie, well, let's not venture there at all.

I am rating "The Shed" a mere four out of ten stars.

I found some of the other reviews on here a bit harsh. I actually quite enjoyed this one. It certainly had a bit of a retro feel to it and was tongue in cheek at times. At times sit brought to mind the Lost Boys and Fright Night, just don't over analyse too much and enjoy the ride.

I believe this must be the first feature for this writer and director so they will continue to grow and learn and get better from this. The lead actor was great and they scored with him, he is from Death Note. The script is slow at times, very cliche and not really current with 2019 and how teenagers act. More like teenagers in the 1990s or 80s. Things are different now. If they had based the story in the 90s that would have worked better. I thought the makeup in the climax scene was very cool.
