Nick Schager The Daily Beast Heavy on censure and woefully light on scares. Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times "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. Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 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 Feb 17, 2021 Full Review Dan Stubbs NME (New Musical Express) Howl did this canine-tastic frightener get the go ahead? Rated: 1/5 Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Andrew Wyatt 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. Rated: C- Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Lindsay Traves CGMagazine Shook really slays when it lets it be about Mia, a woman on the internet, having that same internet weaponized against her, while also using it to fight back. But when the wires get crossed, it ends up a messy story with too many threads. Rated: 6/10 Feb 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

London H Movie is good and intriguing, but I wish they worked more on the ending because it's just open ended and up to interpretation. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Spitfyre 8 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member There is way too much dog death in this movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Esse filme tinha tanto potencial mas falha miseravelmente ao tentar ser altruísta demais ou se destacar em meio a tantos filmes parecidos com ele, a direção e a boas ideias de imagem espelhada são ótimas. Porém não recomendo Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
