Maria Q Stunning visuals, solid script, and an unnerving dread that builds throughout. Don’t watch alone Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Félix P A loud noise every 5 seconds is not enough to make a horror movie and captivate your audience. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Hugo S A Catholic missionary couple moves to a remote Ecuadorian village to convert the local indigenous community. When an ancient evil possesses their son, the family must come to terms with their own faith. "Shaman" explores the confrontation between two different religions, condemning the hypocrisy of those who preach a superior faith. While the criticism of colonialism works well, the movie falls into the trap of repeating the exorcism formula in its final act. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Daniel Z I recently watched this for the first time, and needless to say, it was every bit as terrifying as I thought. It's an emotional rollercoaster, a seamless blend of both horror, philosophy, and tragedy that amplifies the film's impact. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Jason K I give Shaman three out of five stars. Its isn’t the scariest possession film you’ll see this year, nor is it the most original, but it does try to carve its own path. With a moody atmosphere, a strong lead performance and an earnest exploration of spiritual conflict, it offers more than just the usual jump scares and demonic shrieking. Where it falters is in its reluctance to fully abandon the genre’s safety net. By the time the third act kicks in, you can feel the story retreating into well-worn territory, trading its unique cultural tension for a more familiar showdown between good and evil. Still, the film’s slow-burn approach and its underlying message about the limits of belief give it a little more weight than expected. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Jo-Anna W This had some creepy parts and a few jump scares. It was also quite intense at times as well. It was like a slow burn sort of horror movie and it worked for me! The acting was pretty decent as well. It wasn't perfect but I've definitely seen worse. All in all, I enjoyed it and would watch it over again. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
