Shadow People

Rating: 6/10 (23 October 2009)

I'm going to give it a 6, because I didn't find it very scary and I hated the ending (don't know which one I watched since there is an a alternative ending). However, this movie is possibly the first of its kind to approach the subject of Shadow People. I don't have any problems talking about it, but many like me do. All that is said by Katie (except the burning house) is in fact real, maybe based in someone's testimonial. There are three kinds of entities, the "hat-man", the "hooded-figure" and the "demon from the trees" (as I call it). Ever since I was a little boy until I was about 25 I used to see this shadowed things. However, unlike the movie, this things don't interact or speak to us, except the "demon from the trees", which may try in several occasions to attack us, and yes, its screams are very similar to those in the movie. I used to be scared to death of these things, until I noticed that fear is what drives them (the movie also brings this up). However, no possessions ever occurred and no photos were ever stolen. It's difficult for me to talk about this, because I always fear that they can come back. Believe it or not and I don't care, but these things exist. Others like me will watch and see themselves in this movie.
