Console best movie i've ever seen.
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
scheduledgeoff The Shrine has a great plot. It's almost as if the script writers and directors followed every convention perfectly. The movie is divided into 30-minute acts, and each act serves its purpose very well. Everything goes berserk in the third act—great surprise that I didn't see coming. The characters are also likable, which is a plus.This movie reminds me of Baskin except with an amazing twist and great ending. If we could somehow combine the first half of Baskin with the second half of The Shrine while keeping the characters from The Shrine, we would have a 10/10 perfect occult horror movie. There is moderate practical effects gore and effective suspense. Two or three jump scares. Colorist did a great job. I don't know if they used CGI, but 3D artists were listed in the post-production section of the credits, so if they did, they did a great job given it isn't even noticeable!
allwinsuar The Shrine is an incredibly tense and entertaining cinematic experience that should keep horror fans guessing until the very end and further proves that Knautz is a filmmaking force to be reckoned with. The Shrine builds and builds and builds, until it finally shows just what it is made of.Definitely not worth the IMDb rating.
sethtrickshoot So are you, also like me, searching for top quality movies starring lesser known actors lesser known siblings. Then this is the movie for you..We all know that Troll is a great B-movie. Why not watch MST3000 Well this movie has a statue and has a more consistent story line then most Superhero movies? The shrine is best viewed with a glass.. no a bottle of port! And let me assure you a Non-Bobby "Iceman" Drake handling Two girls and one shrine for about 1½ hours is plenty of fun.. If you like me also doesn't have friends. EnjoyBTW. that shrine is muy picante!
Fella_shibby Good direction by Jon Knautz (Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer). Awesome cinematography by James Griffith (Masked saint, Air emergency). The imagery of the forest in the fog is especially haunting and the environment of Poland is simply chilling in itself. Fine editing by Matthew Brulotte (Jack Brooks, Chillerama, girl house). I liked the film and found it to be very creepy and suspenseful. The star cast includes Aaron Ashmore (Regression, The Thaw). Cindy Sampson (The Factory, Swamp Devil). Meghan Heffern (Home Sweet Home, Chloe, The Fog). Trevor Matthews (Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, Girl House). The movie is very different from ur regular possession movies. Its brutal, creepy, suspenseful plot with an awesome twist. The forest n the whole village itself looked eerie n isolated. More movies like these shud be made. Its a must watch for horror fans. There is a very creepy scene in the forest.
