Shelter (2015)

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

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

A bunch of random people get ushered to a bomb shelter after an emergency.The unknown length which they will be contained since the disaster outside continues to escalate creates the tension as they all lose their marbles and turn on each other.Not all films can be or need to be on a blockbuster budget and this one makes good use of the time exploring the outcome of prolonged confinement.It's a "in the mood for" type of movie. Slow burner. Deliberately twists around, simple but somewhat intriguing.

SHELTER is a single-location thriller set in an underground bunker. The world has just been destroyed by an apocalypse and the story follows the fortunes of the existent survivors as they come to terms with their new world, which very much exists within the confines of four walls and a ceiling and floor.Inevitably this is low budget stuff which focuses on the psychological angle (as it doesn't cost anything), but the surprise is that it's pretty decent. The shooting style is strong and the film feels both realistic and claustrophobic throughout. The day to day character building stuff is quite interesting, so it's a shame that they spoil things with a non-linear style in which the time frame is all over the place; this makes things needlessly confusing and more than a little annoying.

Five people penned in a box, supposedly for their own safety, but with lots of room for doubts about what's really going on. Shelter isn't an action scifi movie, it's more like a tense little play. The scenes have been shuffled out of order to keep the reality of the box and the fates of the characters mysterious for as long as possible, much like Lost. And it succeeded in keeping me curious about that until the very end. The characters are believable. The acting was good enough to keep me immersed in their reality. I get the comparison with The Divide, but I wasn't able to stay interested in The Divide's mysteries long enough to finish it. And even though The Divide has many more recognizable faces in it, I didn't find its characters to be plausible or even likable. The writing in Shelter is much better, more like real life than a science fiction comic book. I look forward to seeing more of what the creators can do. It's obvious they don't need big money and fancy actors to do something compelling. Rock on.

This movie was a little hard to rate or sum up because some scenes and character development was well done in terms of the emotions conveyed and how they showed the paranoia and tension builds up but some scenes seemed rushed and happens all of a sudden. Those scenes felt like it was purposely inserted to create a shock value and maybe because movies of similar theme had scenes like that in them. Some may not like the movie at all since it's not action oriented. The movie tries to focus on the emotions of a small group of people trapped in a very bad situation. I enjoyed certain scenes and definitely felt that the film makers should be praised for those. However,the acting and the pacing should have been a lot better. So many things ended up as a cliché that are usually present in movie like this. The director did manage to offer certain fresh things in the movie by not making the character too cliché or boring. Each had there characteristics and scenes that make us understand and feel for them. That was one of the plus point of the movie. If only the director made it a more tense and gripping thriller or a more emotional drama,this movie would have been a lot more memorable. A good effort though and worth watching once.
