The Shrine (2010)
10/10
Loved This Film!!
9 October 2012
This one caught me by surprise and I am so happy that it did. So many movies are predictable and I can figure out the plot almost immediately. So for me this was a refreshing change. You sit mesmerized and just let it wash over you. That is what I recommend. Give it a chance and try to understand that not understanding the dialogue is the point. You do not have to understand the words. The intentions are clear as day and very plain to see Just watch and let your emotions carry you through to the end. The scenery is very well done and completely believable. It is not just a horror film but something more. Which is fantastic considering how many bad horror films there are out there. This movie had a bit of a Hitchcock theme to it in that you do not see everything. But you can feel it using your imagination. That is something that has been lost in films over the years. Lost among a sea of teenage grouping of bad actors pretending to be scared and then..suddenly a gem like this will come to light and you can feel hope again.

I have hope again in movies thanks to this masterpiece. This movie is untouchable. There is nothing out there like it and that is a promise. Go watch this please.
