• Shapeshifter time

  hampersnow-289052019-02-11

  The original title of this movie was Shapeshifter, which gives you a better idea of what it is about. A foreign production with mainly American actors including the always excellent Josh Stewart, but even the foreign ones are speaking English. As a horror movie goes it's OK, the acting is decent, there are scares, gore, some thrills, just not enough of any of these things. It doesn't stand out as being anything really different from so many other horror movies today, and is completely forgettable. The Shapeshifter creature is excellent though, a genuinely frightening creation. It seems some money was spent on effects, this isn't a movie where monsters look like a rubber mask from a dollar store. Just a shame they didn't add in more scares and a more coherent script. By the time it ended on a somewhat preposterous note, I'm still not sure what was going on. 6 stars for being somewhat interesting, not a bore, a great monster, and a cut above the many low budget horror films floating around.

  These are fake reviews. This movie is really stupid and the acting is horrendous. Waste your time watching another movie.

• How NOT to make a movie!!

  This is one of the absolute worst movies I've seen. People doing an experiment travel to an isolated house. They each take the drug that is developed and then goes off doing their own thing. Very scientific!! The only known actress is scantily clad to lure in that demographic... So many things wrong here!! Avoid!!

• Painfully boring

  I stopped watching after 30 mns, because I knew I would regret this wasted time of my life if I continued to watch. This movie is horrendous. Horrible science (yeah, we are scientists, let's all gather in a house and have all of us take the drugs". Terrible acting. Nothing happens except for stupid jumpscares. This story has been done hundreds of time. Don't waste your time watching this one. It's totally not worth it, unless you want to die from boredom.

• Solid horror movie

  This movie was a lot better than what I was expecting from the trailer. It has a lower budget but it's by no means "low budget" and there's some really awesome monster effects here. In fact one of the best most original looking monsters I've seen in awhile. This movie centers around an experiment into the supernatural. In the first several minutes of the film a mans son is suddenly abducted right from his arms by an unseen force and vanishes into the woods. Time jump several years forward and the father is now part of a team exploring the supernatural. He encounters a woman who has a recipe for a tea passed down to her by her grandmother that allows people to see into this supernatural realm through their dreams. They manage to refine this tea into an inject-able serum with far stronger and unforeseen affects. The walls between our dimension and the supernatural begin to fall down exposing the team to all manner of otherworldly events and dangers. Anything more than that would be a spoiler. Unlike the one of the other reviewers I didn't find this film confusing at all, in fact there are several moments where the events are being very clearly explained and the movie does come to a logical conclusion. Overall a movie that kept my attention the entire way through, had very decent special effects, strong cast, good camera work, and while not an entirely original story a well fleshed out one. For the horror genre I'd give it a 7. Edited: I think the people hating on this movie so hard must be too stupid to follow a basic plot. They literally explain what's going on through specific reveals as the movie unfolds. This wasn't a complicated movie, but the people saying this is the worst movie ever or that these are fake reviews are morons.
