The Shed

This one screened at some cool film festivals and had some cool people involved so my expectations were a little high but I was not entirely disapointed with the film. Some of it felt amateuish but other parts were quite interesting. I liked the kinda fresh take on vampire movies but felt that the bullying themes were a little on the nose and annoying.

It started off ok but half way through took a wrong turn and never got back on track .some of the dialogue is laughable but not in an intended way . Summary first half showed promise second half predictable and often painful

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

It makes me sad to give this a 4* because we don't get enough original content today...however there was just nothing special about this... you'd think a monster in a shed that can't come out would be a lot of fun, but it feels like the filmmaker didn't know what to do with this good idea....so it ends up being EXACTLY what you'd assume... all the jerks and baddies get sent to the shed one way or another...and...that's it really. It felt like it so badly wanted to be a horror comedy, but there goes there, it is played very straight.

Didn't hate it, but I did find myself skipping around, it went with a few of the "scary dream" scenes and I just find those so annoying.

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..
