Charlie Crowe (Dallas Roberts) is a failing late night radio talk show radio host who talks with a mysterious stranger telling him that he is seeing people who appear as shadows. When the young man turns up dead, everyone thinks Charlie is just looking to improve ratings. But as he goes forward in investigating this phenomenon, he finds a lot of evidence that the shadow people may just be for real.

This is not a very good horror film. It’s got some suspense and the thing is somewhat creepy. On the other hand, there’s no spectacular acting going on here, and the cinematography leaves something to be desired. There are times when dark settings add to the creepiness, but this film is so poorly lighted that it’s very hard to see what’s going on most of the time. Then there’s the fact that they keep throwing in what appears to be actual documentary footage. This confuses the heck out of you. Not extremely scary, with no real enemy, and it does resort to the “this is based on reality” ticket when we all know it’s completely made up. There’s no way this is in the least based on real events. It’s not got enough going for it to make me recommend it, so I’d say if you’re looking for horror, you better look somewhere else.

Evan Reynolds (Stephen Colletti) bought his bride to be Jennifer (Nikki Deloach) a run down 19th-century plantation house very cheap. But there is a reason it was very cheap. Too bad neither he nor his bride-to-be discover it until their friends — whom they’ve invited to the manse to celebrate — begin to drop dead. This house has a history and past residents are still hanging around in this horror fest.

This is a typical hacker/slasher film, like has been done many times before. But it seems we never get tired of these, especially in October. This one is a good as any. It starts out right into the action, and it’s creepy throughout. The plantation is run down, for sure, but their dream is to fix it up, flip it, and make a lot of money. But you have to live long enough to do that. And it appears nobody is coming out of this house alive.

The cast is not well know, but the quality is good. It’s a NetFlix “Watch Instantly” film, and frequently on Cable this time of year. It’s a good Halloween movie, just right for the cool fall evenings. If you can find this one, turn it on, as for sure it’s a horror film that slipped through the cracks. If you hate slasher films, then avoid this, as it is that and really nothing else. But if you’re a horror fan, this is as good as any, and it’s nice to have a new story that isn’t part 15 of Jason wasn’t really dead and is coming back for a 16th. Well done simple gore fest, and worth the time I spent watching it.
