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

The film’s steady pacing allows for genuine character moments that keep viewers invested, even as the supernatural elements simmer in the background.

Father Son Holy Gore

This story’s too well told to not read the film as a commentary about how horribly depression can hollow out a family when people are silent, isolated, and refuse to confront the uncomfortable realities of mental illness.

Rated: 4.5/5

Assignment X

A naturalistic piece of horror that's heavy on ambiguity.

Rated: B-

Culture Mix

The Shade is the equivalent of a vehicle that runs out of power and gets stuck in the mud. This repetitive horror movie fails to answer crucial questions in this gloomy story about a young man haunted by a harpy.

I'm sorry... what was the plot: angsty young adult with odd spooky s.... in the family so they kill themselves one by one and he finally stands up, the end... waste of time.
