Sheltered

Mister Rogers.

That's it, really. He's sweet and charming - except when he turns psychotic every half hour or so.

And he does resemble Fred Rogers - at least in his haircut and in his little smile.

Good Lord, I'm being told that my "review" is too short. What an asinine rule. Okay, then, let's fill it up until the robot is happy - Joey looks like Mister Rogers. No, really - he really does. I thought it was Mister Rogers acting in this movie. Honest, I really did. I just couldn't believe Mister Rogers was so buff. But his haircut is pretty unmistakable. No cardigans, though. I guess that's - enough characters typed. Bye.

Difficult to rate this one. It has all the elements of a good horror movie, but the flow wasn't good for some reason. Also, a lot wasn't explained. I don't like slashers, but the mix with the supernatural was good. I wish more were brought out with the lead girl's role as far as her ability to see things, which seemed to connect the diabolical and charming bartender. If it didn't show promise, it would get a 4 from me. If it were refined, I can see it going much higher than a 5. Please keep in mind that I know almost nothing about making movies or being a critic, I'm just one person who's opinionated.

1st watched 8/28/2011 –(Dir-Josh Stoddard): Bad horror movie that does almost everything wrong from the beginning to the end. It starts out with the typical rowdy young group of kids out to have a good time despite driving right into the face of a hurricane on a vacation(where they just will not be denied their fun, of course). They stop at a bar to have a few drinks, their car stops working, and the bartender graciously gives them a place to stay and party until the storm ceases. Of course, this bartender, has other things in mind for them as the filmmaker lets us know about right off the bat by showing us his first kill at his feet behind the bar(there goes the mystery…so why watch the rest??). I did continue watching the rest – and the rest consisted of the group drinking, some random sex, and then the group being killed off one-by-one. That was pretty-much the movie, except they did let us know why he wants to kill in the first place, and one female character strangely sees all the background thru various apparitions(and we're never told why). There's plenty of blood and gore, if you like that kind of thing, but there is no brains behind the story. It's a typical slasher-type movie that's been retread many times over and un-fortunately the best part of the movie was the original music performed by one of the stars. Music though, doesn't make a movie – but instead should complement it – but sadly there was no movie here to be complemented.

The story and the coincidences may have been a bit too contrived but the actors pulled every bit of good out of the script. Everybody knows within the first 15 minutes how it was going to roll, but the acting kept you engaged. Gerald Downey's ability to turn from pleasant young man to psycho murderer was quite well done as was his portrayal of OCD. Mandel Hudec always angry still pulled it off at the end. Worth watching at least once as a guilty pleasure. The women (Stacia Crawford, Tricia Small, Allison Dunbar, Heather Loschiavo) played some great characters also, more mature but just as horny as your typical teenage thriller.

The acting, story and directing are all bad. The plot is easy enough to follow but many of the characters actions make no sense. This move is bad on every level and a complete waste of time.
