Shelter

I read the other reviews before watching this and was not expecting a whole lot. I agree, the acting was inconsistent. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. I also agree that the pacing was a bit off.

That said, I found myself enjoying it. It started out sorta average but as the movie went along I started to get into it. I really liked how it kept swapping between time-lines and the cuts between past and present were done well. I also liked the ending and don't understand the other reviewers comments about unanswered questions, I think it told you everything you needed to know.

It wont be everybody's cup of tea but if you appreciate a good B movie I recommend giving it a go. It has a good story, it is told in an interesting way and has a nice (sort of twistish) ending.

A bunch of random people get ushered to a bomb shelter after an emergency.

The unknown length which they will be contained since the disaster outside continues to escalate creates the tension as they all lose their marbles and turn on each other.

Not all films can be or need to be on a blockbuster budget and this one makes good use of the time exploring the outcome of prolonged confinement.

It's a "in the mood for" type of movie. Slow burner. Deliberately twists around, simple but somewhat intriguing.

I happened onto this film after watching several apocalypse movies and this one is certainly worth my time. Tho' the acting is a bit amateurish at times, the plot is engaging throughout.

I am reminded of Jean Paul Sarte's "No Exist": essentially that hell is other people. This theme seems to run throughout. I don't know what else to say because I don't want to slip into any spoilers. Leave it to say that if you have some time, this film is worth it for the pace, the camera work, and the the theme. . .

Fairly interesting movie but way too long. The numerous flashbacks are annoying and unnecessary. I came close to either stopping it or fast forwarding. But, I stayed with it. The ending is very unsatisfying.

You'll be frustrated and disappointed.

Even though the story wasn't that well written. The acting was pretty decent Plus I enjoy one room settings.
