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.

Shut In (2106)

Starring: Naomi Watts, Oliver Platt, Charlie Heaton
Director: Farren Blackburn

Premise:
While being sent away to boarding school, a troubled teen and his father are in an accident. The accident kills the father and severely injures the boy. He stays at home but needs round the clock care. The mother, who is a former child psychiatrist, has a former patient come up missing. These two things collide as strange things start to occur in her remote house during a storm.

My Take:
The movie is basically about mental unstable son but disguised as a supernatural thriller. There's a lot of holes in the script that makes it not very interesting.

Rating: Warning
