Before heading to the drive in to see the new X-Men movie
and Godzilla, I needed something to help me get into the mood as I finished my
homework. After some debate (with myself), I decided to throw on the 2012
import Dead Shadows.
Plot/ Chris' parents were murdered on the same day the
Halley comet was visible from Earth. Eleven years later, a new comet lights up
the Parisian sky, but as the night goes on, people begin to transform into
horrible creatures.
This entry from France is a bit confusing to say the least.
As combination of Night of the Comet and some strange H.P. Lovecraft influenced
story, this one is just all over the place. The run time is short, the acting
blah, the story, and scripting lacking and there is no tension or atmosphere at
all. What you do have is an incoherent 70-minute trip into some type of strange
Lovecraftian (bad) CGI fest. In the end, I really cannot recommend this to
anyone there is little entertainment value and it is just a struggle.
