All Critics (4) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (2) | DVD (1)
The Shrine is horror just going through the motions - dull and perfunctory, with nowhere near enough polish to match its broken Polish.
Even with its familiar trappings and some occasional bumps in the road, The Shrine is an enjoyable little throwback.
The Shrine builds and builds and builds, until it finally shows just what it is made of.
Audience Reviews for The Shrine
Super Reviewer
It's a really stupid storyline. Nothing that creepy about it considering it's been done 1,000,000,000,000 times before.
I also hated the ending. I hate movies where the writer just has NO clue how the fuck he's going to end the film. He thinks about a bunch of different possible endings, but they all seem stupid/dumb/lame/etc. so in the end he just says "You know what? Let's just say *SPOILER* the town was cursed and that's why everything is happening." Like really? A curse? It would've been better if he had left the audience guessing or actually used some creativity to make a decent ending that didn't suck. I've seen so many movies that just end horribly like this one. Endings like this not only make the film worse, but they show the true laziness of the writers.
