Good start, but then it gets ruined

Excellent but underrated film

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A woman wakes up dressed only in her underwear, in a padded room, with no memory at all. She soon discovers there are more people like her with no recollection of anything. While trying to figure out where they are, a shadow creature is picking them off one by one.This wasn't bad. Tony Todd joins the cast playing the patient with violent tendencies. The film is similar to Cube (1997) with the unknowns and how they find more people as they explore. They up the ante by throwing in a shadow monster.Moves along at a good pace revealing more and more as the film progresses.

What happens when you put the movies Unknown and Hypercube into a blender; add a dash of Lost and hit puree? This.Pros: fairly competent acting, good set/props, good sound effects, good music, a steady plot and a race with your own mind to see if you can figure out the puzzle before it's explained. Cons: race/sex stereotyping. Character creation is weak in this sense. There's already too many movies where the characters of black men are violent, or are the first to die. This movie does both. The nympho is a hot supermodel. What a colossal, predictable YAWN.With that said, the only reason this movie is a worthwhile time killer - other than a juvenile need to snicker at mental wards inadvertently modeling Calvin Klein underwear - are all the elements stolen from other wildly popular entertainment media. I have no problem with people taking creative license with ideas not their own. After all, you can't copyright an idea. But the plot from start to finish is nearly identical to that of Hypercube (except there are two survivors); with the beginning and ending of Unknown; with a monster and character cast from Lost. That's really all there is to it. I wanted to give it higher stars, but this collage of celluloid just isn't original enough on it's own.Even the underwear is questionable. At least when I saw Kate from Lost in her underwear, I didn't feel a compulsion to pick at my butt. That's how bad the underwear looks on the women. What mental hospital puts women in *boy short* style undies? That's just dumb. At least give them briefs so they can have a little dignity. For heaven's sakes.

CONTAINS SPOILERS! Shadow Puppets stars James Marsters,Jolene Blalock and Tony Todd. It's an excellent thriller, that will keep you on the edges of your seat!!! YOU CAN'T MISS JAMES MARSTERS' IN HIS UNDERWEAR FOR MOST OF THE MOVIE!!!! Shadow Puppets is about a group of strangers who wake up in a locked asylum with no idea of who who they are or how they got there.They are all in their underwear,cold and scared.They are being killed of by a Shadow creature, and need to find a way out of the asylum. As the movie goes on, you will will see that not all is what it seems, that someone has been lying. But I won't say who? You will have to watch the movie to find out!!!

It is the actors and director voting 10 for themselves giving the movie a good rating to make it sell better. Notice that when a really bad film gets good reviews (around 7-10 in rating) it always have a lot of good comments about the "actors" in it. This movie is nothing but a ripoff, mastery of bad acting and a script who makes you wanna scream in agony. The parallels between Cube is so clear it is sad. Also, compare the plot summary with the film Unknown (2006) and you'll be surprised (or maybe not). If I was a part of this movie I would see the result as a complete failure and quit my job. Voting 10 for your own mistake is nothing but pure scam. These persons should be ashamed. I am, for their miserable sake.
