Shifter

...and it appears to be copied directly from 1982's "The Thing".

When it comes to sci fi movies, I don't need the cgi and special effects to keep me interested. Just give me a thought provoking story. I can even get past her time machine made out of an old oil drum and toaster parts.

Unfortunately, this one makes zero sense, has zero message, a flatline from start to finish.

Just odd looking people that can't act, a very large dose of misandry, and we watch the lead character throw up *thirty-one times*! What's more annoying than that is her "cute kitty" cartoon voice she does seven times.

Not even good enough for background noise while you multitask.

This movie just jumped around too much, and I don't know why they thought it necessary for the character to throw up so.

One of the best horrors I've ever seen. This movie destroyed me mentally and physically. After just 15 minutes of watching the film, I found myself sweating profusely and crying like a baby at the end. 10/10

Shifter currently sits at a 3.6/10 on IMDb, which is unfair to all the good qualities of the film. With a rating like that, I was ready and expecting to see something really awful, poorly shot, and cheesy. Shifter is none of those things, and it's actually quite good. Overall,

Shifter is definitely not a bad film. It's well shot and has a creepy pace with a downer ending. The performances are quite good too, which is especially impressive considering these are mostly local unknown actors. It certainly feels bigger than it really is. However, it's just a bit too slow; i appreciated the slow pace and the quiet ambience of the film, but after a while it just gets boring. Shifter feels more like a short film that was unsuccessfully stretched to feature length than it does a film that feels natural at 90 minutes...not even 90 minutes at that.

I enjoyed enough of the film and it certainly utilized its microbudget extremely well. I'd like to see what this creative team could do with a larger budget, but the budget was clearly not an issue here. Most of my problems had to do with the writing, which costs no money to perfect.

Imagine being a writer/producer with a warped vision of the world, i.e. men are bad. Then you create this cheaply made time-travel movie using a very odd-looking woman who works at an all-female warehouse and whose encounters are other odd women at the library but bad men at the bar. Either we have a woke opportunist as author/producer or this is really what he wanted to portray. Take a man's story and adapt for women because this is the time we live in right now.

The only reason I gave it a break=even score is because it has some gripping element. You will watch this without twitching for your phone or wondering what else is going on. I can stipulate how important it is to hook the viewer and keep them watching. This is why I ended my Netflix subscription. I started getting bored and they become to feminist woke.

Please watch "Source Code" after this. It will be like mouthwash for your brain.
