Last night I took a trip in the snow to Family Video in
hopes of finding one of the new releases that looked interesting.
Unfortunately, the film I was looking for was out. Instead, I decided on the
2015 psychological thriller The Shelter.
Plot/ A homeless man finds shelter for the night within a
lavish abandoned two-story house. He eventually discovers that he is not alone
and the premises won't let him leave.
When I saw this at Family Video the premise seemed
straightforward. However, this movie was nothing like I expected. In fact, The
Shelter was much better than I could have imagined. This psychological thriller
with supernatural overtones is both thought provoking and intriguing; covering
a topic that I am sure many will recognize or potentially struggle with. Not
only is the storyline interesting, the atmosphere, the cinematography, and scripting
work together to create an enthralling film. Couple that with some solid
performances from a minimalist cast (especially Michael Pare) and the movie is
well worth your time. In the end, this is one of the better psychological
thrillers I have seen in some time. You should check it out.
