There have been many movies like Shut In before. In fact, I'd argue far too many.
Grisly opening, followed by a quieter first act, then a few hints at something something spooky, then comes THE TWIST.
After we've finished picking our jaws from the floor (yeah right), the movie then concludes in one of those pointlessly elongated chase sequences which would be over much sooner if anyone here had any common sense whatsoever.
A disabled kid's life is in danger, the bad guy hams it up like his life depended on it, and Naomi Watts...
Poor lamb. She deserves much better than this reheated tripe, that's for sure.
But she signed the contract, cashed the cheque and turned up on time to each days shoot... so my sympathy can only go so far.
Oh well. Avoid avoid avoid. 4/10
