Absolutely Brilliant!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Well the plot device of the film (recreations by actors of "actual events" counterpointed with video/audio tape/film of the "real life" people who allegedly experienced them) is lifted whole cloth from The Fourth Kind.There's a scribbled sketch of a shadow person in a notebook that looks a lot like the sketches John Klein's wife made of the Mothman before she died in The Mothman Prophecies.The CDC researcher is named Lacombe, the same name as the UFO researcher in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.The darting shadows, electronic noise, and images in the static on the television screen are taken from White Noise.The notion of terrifying death as the result of watching a film is taken from The Ring.I could list more, but this should be enough to demonstrate there isn't a single original idea in the film. What a waste.

This was an interesting little movie.The acting was pretty B grade, and that's probably putting it nicely, and I'm not sure why they added the sub plot of the separated family, but the subject matter was interesting enough that I kept watching despite all that.And yes, I did get the shivers more than once and hope that I won't be thinking about this movie when I go to sleep tonight!!!It's also making me want to research it more, to see if this really did happen...Although I notice at the end they say the radio guy died in 2010, and the question arises, well why didn't the shadow men come for him seeing as he was thinking about them oh so much???But nevertheless, interesting to watch despite it's flaws...

In the mix of all poorly made movies out there these days this one deserves your attention. Shadow people is full of suspense moments and qualifies as a good mystery after all. Dallas Roberts was amazing in it. Solid storyline and clever filming. Definitely worth watching and makes you think about reality of the events and phenomenon of The Shadow People. Seems like they used some real facts in the movie which makes it even more desirable to watch. Shadow people hit its home run in all aspects - good acting, good writing, good directing and that kind of movie that will make you think about it after it's finished. Most of us had some kind of experience that we could relate to in this thriller.

"How do you stop thinking about something." Charlie Crowe (Roberts) is a talk show host who's ratings are slipping and he is worried that he may get canceled. When a young man calls in one night and tells him about a nightmare he is having he thinks its a joke and hangs up on him. After receiving a package from him he takes it a little more serious, then after the next time he calls it changes everything. Charlie is now trying to figure out what he saw. This is a very interesting movie but I wouldn't call it a straight horror movie. The movie is interesting enough to keep you watching and interested but I didn't think it was scary in the classic sense. The only movie I can really compare this to is The Fourth Kind in the way that it mixes "real" footage with the movie footage which makes it a little more creepy. It is a hard movie to recommend because it doesn't really fit into a specific genre but I will say that it kept me interested the entire time. Overall, not a bad movie but nothing amazing either. I give it a C+.
