Review of Shut In

Shut In (I) (2016)
7/10
more suspense then horror, one for the home-invading lovers
26 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Teared down by the press but still it popped up on horror sites now and then as worth seeing so I gave it 91 time out of my life. It isn't that scary and maybe you have seen a lot of flicks in this kind but for me it wasn't that bad at all.

It's the performance of Charlie Heaton (Stephen Portman) also famous for Stranger Things (2016) series that elevates this flick. What he does with his character from disabled to creep is outstanding. The fact that Naomie Watts plays his mum does give it an extra touch.

On part of the story itself it may be all predictable and you can guess who's the stranger in house rather quickly but still it entertained me. There aren't many effects used, it's the house that must deliver and that one shot while Dr Wilson (Oliver Platt) is skyping with Mary (Watts) and he notices stranger things (hihi) going on.

Not one for the horror geeks but if you do like home-invading flicks or a bit of suspense then this is worth seeing.
