Shackled

At first, I was confused as to how certain things were happening, but if you watch 'til the end it all makes sense. I liked how it felt like a mix of SAW and a real-life escape room with supernatural elements. I don't know what some of these reviews expected from an indie movie with a small budget or if they get paid per 1 star review, because the production value for what it was still provided quality. Good sound and an interesting storyline that steps away from the expected. This is not a MARVEL movie that is trying to keep you entertained with banter, theatrics, and explosions. This is a slow dissent into madness of someone suffering from more than what is initially seen on the surface.

I literally suffered through 40 minutes of this dread fest and had to stop. The acting was absolutely horrible from the moment it started with her yelling the way she was.

The premise of this movie sounded pretty watchable but unbelievable so I decided to give it a try and boy was that a mistake.

It's low budget with one or two familiar faces from some other low budget films I've seen. Don't expect academy award winning acting.

Should you decide to torture yourself through this one, good luck. Hopefully you can finish the movie unlike me. I am a stickler for finishing what I start and I've made it through some really really horrible ones, but I just couldn't rough this through.

I enjoy indie films immensely, so watching this I didn't know what to expect. You really have to pay attention to every scene because it all adds up to something really unique at the end.

Very few films can pull off the single location concept, and this was definitely a good use of it. Monique did a fantastic job bringing Aamal to life and making us sympathize. You can tell she put a lot into the performance, and it shows.

I enjoyed the music and build up. The disjointed quality of it seemed out of place at first but again it all adds up to why, and I didn't see it coming. I read that they filmed in the high desert during hundred degree days, so good on them all for committing to this in full. Definitely worth your time, so check it out!

The title looked interesting so I began watching it and was soon drawn into it. I had to keep watching, although it struggled along and it was like watching Latex paint dry. Very Poor acting and ridiculous scenarios that just did not make sense.. Obviously a low budget movie with a minimal amount of characters. I wanted to just quit watching it, but I had too much time invested so I stuck it out to the end which turned out to be confusing. An hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. I should have came To Internet movie database and read the reviews and just found something else to watch. I'm sure some of you might find this entertaining but to me it was a waste of my time.

This is the first review I've ever written because this is the worst movie I've ever saw. If there was anything else you would rather NOT do, you'd be better off doing that then watching this. I hope whoever scripted this has to wait an hour for every Dr. Appointment, every dinner reservation, every fast food order, every dental appointment and every red stop light for the rest of their life. I hope they live to be 140 and physically decrepit but in good health so that they outlive everyone that they've ever known and loved. I pray that whoever talks to them never gets to the point so that every conversation is a useless waste of time filled with ramblings and awkward bird noises. Maybe after living like this for a century they'll be able to come up of with a better plot but thank God I wont be around to watch it.
