3/5
The acting and directing are far from exceptional, but the finale still leads us to some unexpected places. Go to Full Review Naila Scargill Exquisite Terror 02/28/2019
Effectively creates tension to complement an overall creepiness, to deliver a climax that keeps the viewer in the dark. Go to Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet 09/05/2011
3/5
Even with its familiar trappings and some occasional bumps in the road, The Shrine is an enjoyable little throwback. Go to Full Review Heather Wixson Dread Central 08/10/2011
3.5/5
The Shrine is an incredibly tense and entertaining cinematic experience that should keep horror fans guessing until the very end and further proves that Knautz is a filmmaking force to be reckoned with. Go to Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects 07/23/2011

Ricardo d @RT43154676 Oct 11 Chato, sonolento, previsível, e com personagens e tramas rasas. Ainda bem que o mais sensato sobrevive. See more John W @RT18279564 Sep 26 The film had a really weak start. The production is so low-budget, and the characters and their justification for the trip seem a bit implausible. Fortunately, it gets a bit better the longer you watch, so that you can recognize an almost decent story. It's also a rather hard horror film. Still nothing that really convinced me or will stay in my memory for a long time. See more Hei Det E @loOn___ 07/26/2024 Genuinely one of the worst excuses for a horror movie I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Started as a somewhat interesting premise, but by the end the real horror was the fact that it was an utter waste of time. Stay clear of this one. See more Gore P @RT39676428 10/08/2023 This movie is seriously underrated. One of my favourites. The end is some of the scariest stuff I've watched. And the entire story , the fog that never moves. Just watch you will not regret. I recommend to any fan of horror/mystery. See more Darin P @RT82876595 11/06/2022 Gory and well filmed. I was very excited by this film and have watched it several times since. I told my friends about it too. It was a random find for me, what luck. See more 08/13/2022 Total crap. Once again, Rotten Tomatoes critics show that they cannot be trusted to keep you from wasting your time. Avoid this like the plague! See more Read all reviews
