    Nothing to fear, its only a shadow!

    Nicely done web series if you like a good black & white silent film, which I confess I do ;)

    Many attempts at silent films today often fail as the acting has to be physical, you can't just rely on facial expressions & a queue card. Here the actors do the right thing emoting with everything they have.

    As this is black & white the lighting & camera work is spot on, with a very film noir look, at night and of course fog!

    This is an Indi-film but has a reasonably large cast & many sets & locations yet IMDB indicates a budget of only 15k, it certainly looks better than the budget indicates.

    In all this is an A grade production done on a C grade budget!

    This series is online and I definitely recommend it.

    Awesome Throwback Production!

    This is a great throwback to the style of silent movies. The story appears to be set in the '20's or '30's and the theme makes it a great one for horror movie-goer's eye's to take in. Definitely a good mind trip! The silent movie concept, alone,is rather refreshing but more than just that, the production,cinematography, musical score, etc. and, of course, the acting makes this one an EXCELLENT overall "enjoy!" I HIGHLY recommend checking this out! Each episode does make one want to move on to the next and that is what a good series is all about. Kudos to the production teams, technical crews and the cast members for your awesome work! Thank you for your talents!

    The best production yet made in Springfield, Missouri

    With 1998's unfortunate "A Place to Grow," 2008's competent yet all too ambiguous "Apollo," 2011's absurd "180," and the promising yet ultimately underwhelming 2012 web series "Epilogue," it's safe to say that Springfield, Missouri has seen a mixed bag of local productions, with none yet to truly qualify as a hit. With 2013's silent horror web series "Shadow Bound," writer, director, executive producer, star (polymath?) Nathan Shelton may have done just that.

    When pulp writer Jack Pickman (Shelton) returns to his hometown Veritas following the death of his estranged father (George Cron), he arrives only to learn that his brother (Drew Diveley) has been committed in a mental asylum and that his father's last case may be directly related to these unfortunate happenings. Jack, perplexed by the news, begins an investigation to uncover the mysterious circumstances of his brother's illness and his father's sudden death. As he descends deeper into his inquiry, plagued by what begins as a series of unsettling dreams, Jack soon realizes he is being tormented by occult forces and that the people of Veritas are not all what they seem to be.

    His acting being one of the stronger elements of both "Apollo" and "Epilogue," it should come as no surprise that Shelton's starring performance as Jack Pickman would arrive with such routine excellence. It is, however, admittedly surprising to see writing and execution of so high a quality from the first time filmmaker. A regular director and producer in the Springfield theater community, Shelton's talents have unquestionably translated smoothly through "Shadow Bound" from the stage onto the small screen (to quote Nicholas Meyer, "If only when it was good, it wasn't SO good!").

    Shelton shares directing credit with Jason Brasier, Kevin Keppy, Sam Long, and Garrett Tripp, all of whom have (so far) brought a high level of commendability to the production, proficiently shooting in glorious black & white and welcomingly exploiting the area's more cinematic period locations, including some haunting Ozark forests, Central High School, and the historic Pythian Castle.

    I am admittedly only reviewing as of what has yet been released (currently up to Episode III: Insomnium), but if the baroque build and high production quality that have so richly populated the first three episodes are any indication of what apocalyptic climax will come, "Shadow Bound" will no doubt solidify itself as the best thing to come out of Springfield, Missouri and the first best showcase of the many talents concealed therein.

    Bravo, Nathan Shelton and company!

    See it

    A stylized black and white horror web series with an excellent musical score that keeps you in suspense and brings you to another world. Lots of interesting monsters visuals and surprises.

    Something I really appreciate about it is that it doesn't have tons of gratuitous violence to try to make a point. It generates suspense in other more affective ways and it works. It's sometimes hard to find a movie that is scary or suspenseful, so it's a great find to locate something that contains all the correct elements.

    It is set in a different time era and it reminds you of movies that were from another time, but takes everything good about them and makes it better.

    Anyone can watch it on this site here. www.ShadowBoundSeries.com
