Fitfully engaging, but it leaves us wanting more than it provides.

Shelter in Place gets under your skin, worming around like a parasite that's eager to burrow into your brain.

A quarantine horror that does a great job of tackling the frustration and anger. Gore is used in place of actual horror, but an overall entertaining watch.

Shelter in Place captures quarantine anxiety better than any doc I’ve seen. Yes, it’s about isolation, but it’s also about the monsters we become when the doors lock. For that resonance alone, it’s an instant favorite.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

My partner and I wanted something creepy but not full-on gory—mission accomplished. A few character choices feel convenient for the plot, yet the suspense kept us passing the popcorn back and forth right to the final reveal. We both walked away grinning.

Production design is A+. From the ominous room-508 key card to the faded lobby glam, every prop reinforces the marriage-under-siege theme. Directors Beyrooty & Martin squeeze symbolism from every frame—nearly flawless work in visual storytelling.

Loved the warm, grainy look and moody synth score; they give the hotel’s art-deco hallways real personality. A couple of digital blood splashes look budget-conscious, yet the overall visual style more than compensates. Easily lands in my late-night rewatch folder.

Quelle belle surprise ! Un huis clos élégant où chaque couloir vide résonne de menace. La mise en scène exploite à merveille le décor art-déco de l’hôtel, et le suspense monte en douceur jusqu’à un climax sanglant mais mérité. À voir absolument.

Shelter in Place“ beweist, dass weniger mehr sein kann. 89 Minuten pure Spannung ohne unnötigen Schnickschnack; jedes Flüstern in den Fluren hat mich zusammenzucken lassen. Gehört ab sofort in meine Sammlung für gruselige Hotel-Storys.
