...an exceedingly deliberate and predominantly uninvolving endeavor...

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 19, 2023

I'd say leave this to a film you pick on a night you want to stay in, and possibly fall asleep to.

| Jan 2, 2021

You will probably fall asleep before getting any sort of scare. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 2, 2020

There is nothing of redeeming value about this film.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Feb 14, 2019

... this one stands alone as the year's Average Joe of thrillers.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 6, 2019

Not even Naomi Watts can save "Shut In", a cheaply filmed and lazily generic excuse for a thriller that should be shut out of your viewing.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018

You walk into this film, hoping to feel claustrophobic but walk out trying to shake off boredom.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 6, 2017

By the third act, we have seen so much of so little that the outcome leaves everyone shortchanged.

| Original Score: D | Jul 18, 2017

It's the audience that gets locked into a "deep vegetative state."

| Original Score: D | Mar 16, 2017

Shut In feels unfinished and scrappy. If you want to watch Watts wriggling around naked and bound in a bathtub, it may entertain you for five minutes, but the only thing that's scary about it is the waste of talent.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 24, 2017

Too generic, and is contained within a genre that needs innovation and resourcefulness to stand out from the crowd, as a saturated market where so few productions feel unique.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 24, 2017

It's more likely to have the viewer giggling in disbelief than gasping with shock.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 23, 2017

It's low-key and modestly budgeted, but perfectly well made, and Watts maintains a cool and steady presence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 23, 2017

This shockingly empty thriller has a great cast, but, while delivering its jump-scares, it completely ignores the story's looming, daunting psychological and emotional ramifications.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 19, 2017

This empty-headed 'thriller' is tedious from the word go.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 31, 2016

A film of a clumsy narrative that doesn't offer anything surprising, reckless or frightening. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 22, 2016

Despite a rather basic premise the film plays out more intriguingly than one might assume.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 12, 2016

A psychological thriller, elegantly filmed, with a dream location worthy of a romantic comedy and good performances but collapses when the script takes to the ground of the ridiculous. [Full review in Spanish]

| Dec 8, 2016

A horror film made up of annoying sounds, trite images and dialogues of the level of "I must be going crazy" and "There is no such thing as ghosts!". [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 7, 2016

One of the most painful and unexciting movie going experiences of the year thus far.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 29, 2016
