Leslie Felperin Guardian Most of the gore is neatly paired with sight gags to neutralise the terror, and it's an efficient enough machine for generating scares. Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2020 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Part angsty teen melodrama, part gore-soaked vampire film, the offbeat horror picture "The Shed" should appeal to anyone who likes their genre stories imbued with personal feeling. Nov 16, 2019 Full Review Rex Reed Observer There's nothing to make your hair stand on end in The Shed because it's not convincing. Rated: 0/4 Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Terry Staunton Radio Times The teen-angst angle isn't explored nearly enough, making it hard to root for the young leads, but some of the bloodthirsty special effects are impressive. Rated: 2/5 Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Maria Lattila The Digital Fix The most frustrating thing about The Shed is that the characters make incredibly stupid decisions throughout the film and this makes it hard to root for them. While there's plenty of potential here, it all feels wasted. Aug 10, 2021 Full Review Sean Price The Spool "There are a million different paths writer/director Frank Sabatella can take with this idea, but they choose the least interesting one.

Music L Good story. Decent acting. A few too many inconsistencies, like why did the vampire that turned Bane turn to dust as soon as sunlight hit him, yet it had far less effect on the other vamps? We could have also done with a little more back story on Bane. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Brand N Good horror/thriller, great for movie night Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review David Y "The Shed" is a horror film that follows a teenager named Stan, who discovers a bloodthirsty creature in his backyard shed. While the film has some tense moments and passable performances, the plot is predictable and lacks originality. Overall, "The Shed" is a forgettable horror film that fails to leave a lasting impact. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review Hugo - Shudder M A clever approach to the vampire horror genre. In this movie the vampire serves as an extension of the teens' anger and desire for revenge due to the bullying they endure. But the ending is predictable and even disastrous. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/26/22 Full Review lurking f Fellow Creatures!! A weekend watch for all you fans out there is 2019's "The Shed". When a vampire takes up residence in a working class, High School student, Stanley's backyard outhouse, the problems are just begining. After his dog & mean-spirited Gramps are killed by the beast, he decides he must contain it long enough to destroy it, so no more deaths occur. However, his bullied best friend, Dommer has another, nastier plan for their "pet vampire", whether Stan agrees, or not & it comes down to Stan & his Ex-girlfriend to try & secure the farmhouse, as the fanged fiend decides to leave the shed to vist Stan one night at home for a bloody & climactic showdown. Written & directed by Frank Sabatella, @franksabatella.director based on a story by Joel Rice, this fun, little romp has touches of "Fright Night" & "The Lost Boys" that are welcome & there's some lovely nods to other movies of that ilk, but it also says a lot about the dark side of dealing with bullying & revenge gone mad. The leads are believable, there's some good jump scares & though the vampire is rarely seen, when he is, the practical make-up effects look great & you can almost smell his, no doubt, rancid breath. This fanged feature belies it's low budget & is an easy, but very enjoyable watch, especially after a long week at the grindstone. I'll "stake" my reputation that you'll end up having a entertaining evening with this. Toolshed Terror Grimly.🩸🩸⚰️⚰️ Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice idea, a vampire takes refuge in a shed feeding on anyone unlucky enough to venture inside. Unfortunately, the main crux of the story takes about 45 minutes to gain any momentum, and then it's just so tedious and boring. One or two jump scares and typical horror movie tropes (drastically bad decisions) result in a film that falls flat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
