Wordiezett So much average

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

trishaade "The Shadows" is a very strange film which leaves a lot to be desired. No decent explanation is given of the events so no resolution is ever found. The movie itself doesn't make much sense either. Let me give you some examples. Some friends are out in their boat and have a shipwreck which we don't see. When they find shelter in an old lighthouse, interestingly enough, their hair isn't even wet. Their clothes, however, are, and they are able to find some clothing that fits them in a lighthouse that appears to have been abandoned for some time. In the opening credits, the lighthouse is lit and working, but when they get there, it isn't (it is turned on later in the film by a character who may or may not be a ghost). Conveniences abound - somehow or another, they were able to save the ship's radio and lo and behold, one of the women knows how to fix it. Old guns are found and one of the characters knows how to load them (they don't take modern bullets). And the list goes on and on.Affairs, previous and current, are revealed along with the appropriate soap opera music. They don't appear to have anything to do with the horror plot line and had no effect on the outcome, such as it is.The horror aspect of the film is incredibly confusing. It appears that the lighthouse is haunted by a Latino woman and some pirates. It is theorized by one of the characters that they might actually have died during the shipwreck and are ghosts themselves, but we never quite figure out if that is the case. To make things even more confusing, many of the scenes are dark (the film takes place during the night) and it can be difficult to see what is happening. I'm assuming that the characters were being attacked by pirates, but don't know that for sure. It remains unclear why the movie is titled "The Shadows" unless they are talking about the scenes that weren't lit very well. I will say that I found the outside night and storm shots quite nice though. I can't, in good conscience, recommend this film unless you really like movies that make no sense whatsoever.

guitargirl-44720 I wish I'd read Paul M H's review before spending time on this film. His review describes this movie perfectly. The story is weak. The scenery is weak. The actors tried, bless their hearts, but there really wasn't much for them to work with. It was hard to care about any of them. There really isn't much else to say about this film, except that you may do better find an alternate.I would stop typing, but IMDb won't post my review because I didn't provide enough sentences/characters. So I will type on to save someone else 89 minutes of life that is better spent elsewhere. I would prefer to keep this short and sweet, but, alas, the website will not permit such brevity.So, if you like weak stories, dark and simple scenery, scripts that don't set the scene, unbelievable characters that come from nowhere, have at it!

Michael O'Keefe Not necessarily low-budget, but THE SHADOWS feels like it is lacking something. Nonetheless a nice chiller as it gets going. Five friends survive a wreck at sea and find shelter on an island near a lighthouse. They manage to find an old uninhabited house that brings many assumptions with strange found artifacts. While a storm brews, the group becomes troubled with unexplained noises and the belief they are being watched by weird shadows that seem menacing. These friends become more unsettled as secrets among themselves are brought to light and if the atmosphere is not creepy enough...a scattered young woman comes storming through the door warning of pirates on the way. By the woman's demeanor it is not clear if the pirates are real or just her imagination. As the group prepares for the worse, it is believed the pirates may be shadows of the past wanting to do them harm.The cast features: Elizabeth O'Brick, Nalita Murray, Vas Andreas, Jennifer Boarini and George O'Kreenke.

Chris Mackey (guestar57) Starring: Vaz Andreas, Nalita Murray.This film is pretty amazing seems set was half a light house and the shadows,literally.Acting was great and real,Some seem to really know the craft of performance.Minor flaw,and We know it has to be dark for shadows,BUT sometimes its too dark in a scene.The pirate character was awesome and the wench who didn't know she was dead.Vaz and Nalita steal the movie with strong scenes in focus of plot.Vaz has been in many Theasylum mockbusters. this was Nalita screen debut and she nailed it.
