The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Take Shelter (2011)

Fringes of Horror by Sean Kimmel is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.
Based on a work at www.seankimmel.com.

Starring: Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain, Shea Wigham,
Director: Jeff Nichols

Premise:
A man builds an underground shelter for his family after having horrible dreams about the end of the world.

My Take:
Great, low key performances stand out in this movie. The story is simply and it rides the blurry line of is this really happening to this man or is it a symptom of schizophrenia which runs in his family.

Rating: So Good
