Shadow People (2013)

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Written and Directed by Matthew Arnold and Starring Dallas Roberts (you remember him from the Walking Dead?) and Alison Eastwood

Plot: A radio talk show host becomes embroiled in some strange deaths involving “shadow people”

Shadow_People_DVD_posterOriginally called The Door, Shadow people  is one of those “based on true events” movies but we assume that is bs. If you don’t like true events movies don’t let that detract from this movie. The “myth” of shadow people is very real. Take a trip on google and research all the craziness, it’s really interesting.

Dallas Roberts gives a great performance as a chain smoking talk radio host who isn’t exactly a teddy bear but throughout the movie you root for him. I love the scenes that are just him,a cigarette ,and his mic. Smoke slowly stripping away the paper on the cigarette as he does his best late night talk voice (which is very good). There are genuine scares throughout and i dug the ending. The movie is really original and has a great cast who flesh out realistic characters. It has a well written script and nice effects.

Overall very entertaining and more than worth a watch. Tara gave it a 62/100 and i love it with a score of 87/100.

10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees. 1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course. 2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing. 3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it. 4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits. 5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing. 6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me. 7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor. 8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. 9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath. 10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
