Le berceau des ombres

Cradle of Shadows is the kind of horror film you produce if you have a limited budget. A simple location, an industrial complex described as a Nazi bunker, a basic premise and pretty conventional monster effects.

The result is a film that you could easily right off. That said, Cradle of Shadows, is not terrible. The acting is reasonable and the concept, whilst not original, is brought to life in a moderately convincing fashion.

Perhaps, the one area, where I felt this flick could have been improved, in spite of its constraints, is in the monster department. The creeping creatures, are simply not that scary. A little more menace and perhaps, a wee bit more cash, on the creature effects, would certainly have paid off in the scare department.

All in all, in my view a competent, if not terribly exciting, horror film with future potential. Lets hope if this group make a second film, they address some of the first ones shortcomings. Five out of ten from me.
