Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Paul Magne Haakonsen I was initially lured in by the movie's cover/poster, as it did seem somewhat interesting, and the fact that this was a supernatural horror movie also just jabbed at my interest.Now, I have to be bluntly honest and say that I didn't get to the end of the movie, nor do I think that I actually made it halfway through. This movie was an ordeal to watch, because it was an unfathomably boring movie, and nothing much of any interest happened. And the lack of anything even remotely worthwhile watching made me give up on the movie. And I have no intention of returning to it and finish watching it.The characters in the movie were generic and could essentially have been in any other horror movie. They were lacking depth and distinctive qualities and characteristics, which made for a very bland viewing experience. It was not the fault of the actors and actresses, but the writers were to blame here. The acting was adequate, but the talents were definitely struggling with the limitations imposed on them by the script and storyline.As for special effects, well I saw very little, and what I did see didn't really impress me. And this was a supernatural horror movie, yet I managed to see only very little in the supernatural department, which was also not working in favor of the movie.There is nothing recommendable about "Awaken the Shadowman", and thus I cannot come up with a reason for why you should actually take the time and effort or throw money after this movie, because it was just not entertaining at all.
baris-akan If you desperately want to kill some time please do something else instead of watching this movie.Since my review should contain more than 5 lines I should add something more but there is nothing to say about the movie. Everything is said within other reviews which has similar points. Please consider them.
gatsby601 I don't often write reviews for IMDb but after sitting through 'Awaken the Shadowman' and then reading some of the 9 and 10/10 reviews I had to take a moment to warn the world away from this poorly written, poorly directed 'thriller?' peopled with amateurs posing as actors and the always lovely Jean Smart.The story in a nutshell, an everyman gets a call from his brother informing him their mother has disappeared. Concerned, he carts his wife and young baby to mom's place where they are introduced to a collection of folks who all belong to a sort of survivors group. The everyman then proceeds to spend most of the film searching for mom while 'The Shadowman' basically a black silhouette, turns up occasionally and does absolutely nothing until late in the third act.The ending doesn't matter because if you have ever seen a horror film you already know. Lazy and obvious.Now the big problem. The acting in this film is some of the worst I have ever seen. I know, it's a low budget horror, but the soap opera lead and the rest of the cast give such flat, monotone readings I was questioning if Shadowman was suppose to be a comic parody of the horror film genera. Nope! It's not clever and self aware like Scream, it's just horrible.Next time Skyler get a dialogue coach and a monster that does more then stands in the corner of the room like a virgin at the senior prom.
javier_garcon-47-656552 I wouldn't say this movie is awful it has the potential of being really good if it had a seasonal director and film crew, this is obviously done by college students that need to do more camera angles, No minority actors! It is like the cast and its directors are racist and live in a world that at least black people do not exist. Realism, If it is not real then i loose interest! Since the cast is all white it really became unrealistic, Once the script becomes unrealistic I just want to forward through the movie. This movie has the potential of being good but had the wrong actors, Now to the acting, only one guy really acted well and he was the lead actor, the rest of the people did not have any rhythm to the lead actor, I saw 3 deranged ladies standing in one spot from knee level filming and it was not necessary, too many unnecessary shots. The women where not that great looking! the actress had no rhythm with each other like they where picked off the streets like they do for porno's. I hope the writer can take this script into any other major movie company and give it another try. And for the positive reviewers you look completely stupid and untrustworthy, not only you have terrible taste in judging movies your horrible critiques.
