The Source of Shadows

Horror is my #1 favorite, and anthology films are among my favorite of the genre. Its nice to break away from feature length plots now and then and instead watch a bunch of short ones all packed into roughly the same time frame. All of these shorts are shot nicely, too. The only thing I can say is some are a little hard to follow. One review on here was saying how this anthology film is like way heavy handed on an LGBT theme, and I have to question if they accidently reviewed the wrong film because I failed to see that, like literally at all... So if for some reason you are reluctant becuase of that, don't let it mislead you. Anyway though, at the end of the day, this is worth a watch if you're into the horror anthologies!

This is like someone put together shorts from Alter or Omeleto, it's pretty good! Antologies are always very hit or miss but all the ones in Source of Shadows were hit for me. Except the second segment which was way too short and supposed to be comedy but it was just stupid. All the rest however, I enjoyed very much- some beatifully shot, some with very good acting, some with interesting and original ideas. I want to go in detail for each one but I want to avoid making spoilers. If you like stuff like Demon(2017) or Field Guide to Evil, Source of Shadows is somewhere in between and I could recommend it.

I thought it will be like more horror like brutality but almost no one does on screen.

When it meant to be scared you I just cant be scared. It's a typical movie try to scare you but the way they try is too shadow, same as the name of movie.

This anthology is a celebration of short film makers. It's well curated. Has some thrills. Worth watching.
