Shadow People (2013)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sadly Over-hyped

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

When people who make movies go out of their way to tell the audience that their movie is based on actual events, they set themselves up for criticism from people who want historical accuracy. "Shadow People" is another movie that unnecessarily chooses to go that route. This movie was plenty scary, and could easily have stood on its own merits without having to play the "based on a true story" card. I am reminded of two other movies that did this: The Fourth Kind, and Phantom. Both went out of their way to tell the audience that their stories came from factual history, and both received a hefty backlash of negative reviews from audience members calling the movie makers out on their claims. Any of these movies would have been better if presented purely as fictional entertainment.If you can put aside this aspect of "Shadow People", you will be in for a decent flick, both chilling and eerie.

Well the plot device of the film (recreations by actors of "actual events" counterpointed with video/audio tape/film of the "real life" people who allegedly experienced them) is lifted whole cloth from The Fourth Kind.There's a scribbled sketch of a shadow person in a notebook that looks a lot like the sketches John Klein's wife made of the Mothman before she died in The Mothman Prophecies.The CDC researcher is named Lacombe, the same name as the UFO researcher in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.The darting shadows, electronic noise, and images in the static on the television screen are taken from White Noise.The notion of terrifying death as the result of watching a film is taken from The Ring.I could list more, but this should be enough to demonstrate there isn't a single original idea in the film. What a waste.

All I'm gonna say is don't listen to all the negative reviews about this movie, From the trailer i wasn't too amused about watching this, but i love horror movies ill give any a chance until it make me cut it off. But back to this movie, WATCH IT and enjoy scary, informational, just a good movie all around in my opinion. The acting was good, the jump scares were on point. I started searching around on google also after watching this trying to see how true it actually is because i myself do at times seem to see little shadows in the corner of my eye at times. Really had me freaked out but i love it hahahahah. Hope you all enjoy this film when you watch.

This is a very solid little horror film that does a great job of combining mock-documentary footage and a straight narrative. Also, the filmmakers have seeded the film with subliminal word messages hidden in a few quick cuts and blurry images, which is kind of funny and amusing. It's individual words sprinkled through the film o spell out: NOW YOU WILL SEE THEM TOO!!! I really appreciate this little touch and would love to read or hear about this choice. I watched it on VOD, so now I'll have to pick up a copy of the DVD or blu-ray to see if they talk about this at all.I am a sucker for a good ghost story, and while this isn't "ghosts", it is creepy and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end more than once. It also reminds me of my college days of staying up late and listening to Art Bell on his spooky AM radio talk show.If you like creepy, slow-burn horror you should defiantly give this a watch.
