Critic Reviews for Shelter

All Critics (7) | Fresh (0) | Rotten (6) | DVD (1)

The conflicting speeds of the feature create chaos, derailing a familiar but promising junk food thriller, which tries much too hard to keep the viewer off the scent of a mystery they will likely show limited interest in to begin with.

A muddled and dramatically inert thriller about a psychiatric patient who plays host to a veritable flash mob of multiple personalities.

As far as its own multiple personalities go, Shelter gives you your pick of exhausting, grim and absurd.

Is it a psychological thriller or a giddy horror of the evil-in-them-there-hills persuasion? This split-personality number can't quite decide.

Begins as a psychological thriller, transforms into a supernatural bonce-scratcher and finally descends into an almighty mess.

Not unwatchable but not particularly good either.

Predicted rating: 3.5 Started well and ended well, but it lost a little interest in the middle, despite good performances from both Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.The Multiple Personality/Psychological input was much more intriging than the possession route it took.

If you can give your logic a rest for a while, you're most certainly bound to enjoy this movie. There are just a few plot-holes than what we get to see in an average movie. I found the movie thoroughly interesting; it succeeded in keeping me on the edge of my seat (just a figure of speech, I don't mean it literally)
