The Shadow People

I have never watched something so awful in my whole entire life! I can't believe I made it to the end. If my son and I hadn't searched for something to watch for so long beforehand we would have turned it off. I wondered whether it was a spoof it was so corny! That poor defenceless woman 🙄🙄🙄 good god!

I bet a lot of people don't make it to the end which is the only bit that makes sense by which point you don't care because you have had to endure the film until this point which is completely exhausting to watch.

The relationship between the couple was sickly and vomit inducing. Poor acting. Pointless scene after scene... like the time his broke the mirror and the fact that they were drowning in two feet of water outside their front door.

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.

Was hoping this would be good because I love C. Thomas Howell. Not only is he not in it much but the story jumps around. Also I hate when the lead female is so whiny but won't leave.... come on this could of been so much better! Giving 2 stars for C. Thomas Howell just because he's awesome!

Never in my LIFE have I rooted so hard for the ghosts to off the new, entitled, self centered, whiny, helpless, thoughtless, self absorbed, idiot "victims". The movie waivered between boring and mind numbingly annoying. Both stars I've given goes to C. Thomas Howell, the poor sap who is the only one that can actually act but still wasn't clever enough to avoid this train wreck. I have specifically noted the actresses name to ensure I never see her in anything ever again. I'm going to bet she is the one that wrote the only 9 star review. If this isn't rock bottom for Hollywood, it's as close as has ever reached.

The movie starts out looking like it might be OK. Ghosts start appearing and you think it might by scary. Throughout the whole movie it is not scary. It seems that the whole point of the movie is for the couple to kiss. That seems to be all they do. There is a gratuitous sex/nude scene at the start. I actually did not even see the end. My wife and I could not even care enough to watch it till the end.
