Shadowland

Garbage and sheer waste of time. Don't know why people invest in making such movies.

Nope. Got about an hour in and was dozing off. It's like a soap opera with some guns in the end. Skip this snooze.

This reminds me of the school panto where a member of the production team stands behind the curtains and prompts the actors when they forget or fluff their lines. I cannot emphasise enough how bad this movie is. Please do yourself a favour and give this a huge miss. Probably ranks as the worst movie that I almost watched this year!

At the present time, there are 2 reviews here that are posted from people involved in the making of this movie. You should not trust them, it is all lies and I think such actions need to be stopped. If you want your movie to succeed, let it on its own, promote it, but enough with the false advertise.

Ok, so the problems with Shadowland are many, I'm going to try and hit a few of them, unlikely I'll get most, because honestly, nobody is going to read a 2 page review. Here we go: there is close to NO horror, NO action, NO drama, just a lot of talking and gun pointing. This is the best way to describe the movie, people holding guns while threatening others.

Characters are mostly annoying, dialogue is weak even for such a C movie, editing is just hurting your eyes, transitions from one scene to another feels unnatural, new scenes or character introductions make little sense and a final explanation for why is it all happening, that comes incomplete.

I don't know what they were trying to do with this one, it looks so rushed whenever some little action falls into place, horrible decisions throughout the entire length, just a mess of a movie really. Also, sadly, it comes off like a 2 hours movie, because nothing really happens, so you always feel like you're trapped in the second act, without ever stepping into the last one. And when that finally happens, boy...was there even a plan here?

Shadowland was a difficult experience, one that I will not recommend to anyone. Please, look elsewhere.

Cheers!

I gave it twenty six minutes before I looked for a review to help me decide as to whether I should stick with it or twist.

The first review here is pretty true and saved me another hour and twenty three minutes of my life. I actually have no idea as to who is shooting who and for what reason. I couldn't determine who was mumbling what to who, nor did it particularly grab my attention.

Not for me, I twisted and left.
