Cody Allen InSession Film The Shade resonates as a psycho-drama, probing the depths of despair with a lens that captures the essence of survivor’s guilt. Rated: B Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Tyler Doupe Dread Central ‘The Shade’ tackles compelling themes but lacks proper narrative structure. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Alex Saveliev Film Threat Chipman knows his way around a creepy sequence, of which there are several throughout The Shade. He and his cinematographer, Tom Fitzgerald, do a great job of sustaining a mood of amplifying tension. Rated: 6/10 Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Writer/Director Tyler Chipman wastes no time in drawing us into the darkness of THE SHADE...setting the stage for difficult themes of mental illness, suicide, abandonment, grief, and more. Rated: 3/5 Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Lisa Johnson Mandell AtHomeInHollywood.com The film’s steady pacing allows for genuine character moments that keep viewers invested, even as the supernatural elements simmer in the background. Oct 19, 2024 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat A strong and engaging debut. Rated: 9/10 Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
