Shadow Master

Cheesy at times and low budget for sure but cool! It was like they took the characters' from Mortal Kombat and made them real! I also loved the fight scene they were real looking, not that fake look where you can see the punches not land, I hate those kind of movies. Enjoyable enough to pass time with so I do not feel disappointed. Lately, with work I wish I had picked a better movie to watch now that I am watching fewer and fewer movies. I didn't hate the story but it was hard to follow at times. Loved the lead, and his moves were on point! A solid B + movie so don't expect Marvel or DC like the description suggests.

You know when you make dish, sometimes ingredients are left over, so you make a side dish. This was the same. Its clear everything about this film is from a Power Rangers movie set, and someone thought we have enough here for a moiie.

Characters in the movie The Four Horsemen and Hanuman looked like they were dressed spontaneously from what ever was lying around. It looked so amateurish, I've seen better from Youtubers with 0 money.

The plot cantered around the 4 Horsemen who were taking children for ritual sacrifice to bring about the end times. The residents of this block then clubbed together to hire a Night watchman to protect the kids. However, you're left asking why they were all dirty?

The plot is okay but the script was like it was translated from a 70s martial arts movie - really bad.

The only good thing about this movie is fight scenes. Reminded somewhat of Tony Jaa style. The make-up crew failed big time - I mean how can you let main character wear a wig like that!?

The story-writers - please get off from the drugs you're on! I don't mind the idea of children being the key of apocalypse but explain me why the horsemen can't get children from outside the building? Or if kids disappear only in that building - why people don't just leave it? It's bad!

The post production team could probably save the day by a star or two if they cared, but they clearly didn't.

It's a wasted time for viewers, wasted money for cinema industry and the only thing that comes out of it is - hopefully those 3 or 4 actors in the movie can get another , better offers in the future. The main actor is not really an actor - fight choreography I give 8/10, it was really good( apart from one kick that clearly didn't hold any power in - but at least it was difficult and respect for that).

What is the picture? This is Hanuman's death god. It's an abandoned building. It looks like there are four or five families inside. Someone has killed the children in that family.

They say that they are going to be kidnapped. At the end, it looks like someone is kidnapping them from the lower floor of the same building and giving them human sacrifice. Then the hero comes and fights. That is good. At the end, I don't know what they are going to say in the film. In between, the police comes and interrogates the hero, he keeps telling the same story, the story is gone, then a small fight comes, the fight is all good, to be honest, the bit choreography is great, but the screen play is not good to watch.

B-Movie or not, this was a dark and deeply disturbing film; in a supernatural film noir style. I liked that about it and I liked the Martial Arts fight action scenes very much also. The major let down for this film is the script/story was muddled and fractured all the way through.

You understand the very basics of what the horror is about but you are left never knowing why it was happening, why were the children needed for a sacrifice you never know what it's for and more so, why those particular children from that particular building; and also why the inhabitants - who were squatters anyway - did not just leave to live elsewhere.

The bad guys wore those bird beaked masks that originated from an earlier part of history, and in a different country entirely, when the Black Death, better known as the Plague swept many to their deaths. Being that they were the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse they would all have been different so, that made for no practical film story sense at all!

Anybody that is into Martial Arts films will immediately have noticed the fighting style similarity to the great Tatchakorn Yeerum, better known internationally as Tony Jaa (and in Thailand as Jaa Phanom). Its the only reason this gets a 3 star score from myself.
