The Shadows is one of those Youtube movies I picked to kill 90 minutes and another embarrassment that I wish that I hadn't.Telling the story of a group of friends who after a boat crash find themselves taking refuge in a seemingly haunted light house.The plot makes very little sense, the execution is dreadful, the movie is often so dark you miss whats going on altogether and there are plenty of scenes that are unintentionally hilarious.Pitiful attempt at a horror which is also labelled as a mystery and a er....romance!? The Good: The setting, when you can actually see it The Bad: Awful sound editing Dull characters Why does such a great setting look so drab? Poor soundtrack Laughable soap level acting Ridiculous cgi Things I learnt from this movie: Planks nailed to a door can be easily lifted off If you're already dead and a ghost you can't die....except that guy.......and that girl Everyone in fear instinctively will recite the bible verse regarding fearing no evil Cheating protagonists seem to be a common norm now in the movie industry

"The Shadows" is listed as a movie under horror, mystery and thriller. But wow, this was a snoozefest of untold magnitude. I started drifted away from the movie early on, and the movie never managed to fully captivate me or lure me back in.Five friends are stuck at an old lighthouse, trapped by circumstance and trapped by a storm. They soon start having to face their own dark secrets and fears.Right... Well, the storyline seemed to have potential and might have worked on paper. But director Sabrina Mansfield failed to bring about a properly entertaining movie.The characters in the movie were one-dimensional and you never even once connected to anyone of them. And the cast, while trying their very best, just didn't have anything tangible to work with."The Shadows" is an excruciating movie to get through given its slow pace, inadequate storyline and lack of enthralling characters. "The Shadows" should stay in the shadows, shrouded and hidden away.If you enjoy a proper mystery then "The Shadows" should not be your first of movie choices.

Not necessarily low-budget, but THE SHADOWS feels like it is lacking something. Nonetheless a nice chiller as it gets going. Five friends survive a wreck at sea and find shelter on an island near a lighthouse. They manage to find an old uninhabited house that brings many assumptions with strange found artifacts. While a storm brews, the group becomes troubled with unexplained noises and the belief they are being watched by weird shadows that seem menacing. These friends become more unsettled as secrets among themselves are brought to light and if the atmosphere is not creepy enough...a scattered young woman comes storming through the door warning of pirates on the way. By the woman's demeanor it is not clear if the pirates are real or just her imagination. As the group prepares for the worse, it is believed the pirates may be shadows of the past wanting to do them harm.The cast features: Elizabeth O'Brick, Nalita Murray, Vas Andreas, Jennifer Boarini and George O'Kreenke.

Starring: Vaz Andreas, Nalita Murray.This film is pretty amazing seems set was half a light house and the shadows,literally.Acting was great and real,Some seem to really know the craft of performance.Minor flaw,and We know it has to be dark for shadows,BUT sometimes its too dark in a scene.The pirate character was awesome and the wench who didn't know she was dead.Vaz and Nalita steal the movie with strong scenes in focus of plot.Vaz has been in many Theasylum mockbusters. this was Nalita screen debut and she nailed it.
