Heavy on censure and woefully light on scares.

"Shook" is done in by its final reveal, which manages to be simultaneously improbable and conventional. For engagement, we'll have to look somewhere else.

It's all very 2021, and you can't help wondering how it will age, but as a launching pad for the director and her cast, it's a very serviceable platform.

Rated: 3/5

Tutor isn’t bad, but the way the plot set-up is scripted and acted by her co-stars gives away too many secrets too early.

Rated: 2/4

Howl did this canine-tastic frightener get the go ahead?

The Lens

Harrington's solid direction can't salvage the tin-eared screenplay or shoddy performances, or prevent the plot's degeneration into a convoluted mess.

Movie is good and intriguing, but I wish they worked more on the ending because it's just open ended and up to interpretation.

I think this is getting a bit of a bad shake all around as it was certainly decent enough and was worth the 90 minutes. I don't think it was as scary as it probably wanted to be, but there are more than enough suspenseful moments within, and the acting was definitely serviceable. I wouldn't go out of your way to see it, but it's a solid time-waster.

i mean, she's got shitty friends & family, but i couldn't get over how dumb she was. she left the house multiple times - why did she go back inside? who doesn't know the tune you do CPR to? & who doesn't know the temp of a fever? the trivial questions made sense at the end, but what a dumb "game" it turned out to be. i wished the friendly neighbor visit at the end had been a plot twist, but the end turned out to be quite underwhelming. & she did awfully well for having a freshly broken leg. idk. it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

Interesting story about social media Instagram fanatics. Not bad acting, emotional and a little creepy.

Another Shudder original. This was a pretty stupid movie. The plot had some major problems. The acting was alright and I wasn't too annoyed. The usage of music was amateur. So many different background musics were used to build suspense, but most failed to accomplish the purpose. It actually became distracting. When the twist was revealed, this plot became worse and fell apart. The motivation made little sense, and the set up earlier was meaningless. There was one scene where the main character made injections into her arms and legs. It was so stupid because she injected the needles 90 degrees straight through the bones. Clearly those needles were fake lol. Overall, not scary but stupid movie. 3.5/10
