Shadows on the Wall

No special effects needed to give the viewer some decent sci fi entertainment.

A little hammy on the two male actors parts, but not unwatchable. I am so disappointed in Hollywood fare that cannot release any movie or series these days that isn't focused on agenda and identity politics. This indie has none of that nonsense, just entertainment

7 August 2016. Shadows on the Wall is a difficult ratings choice because its low budget appearance and some of the slow pacing make this movie rather hard to continue watching especially at the beginning. The climax of the movie isn't anything spectacular in its originality and yet the building up, the mystery, the eventual tension, and the relative consistency of tone and performances somehow keep this movie from being just average or ordinary. In short, this low budget sci fi movie isn't really bad, isn't really just average and except for perhaps the man in a black suit who seems pretty one dimensional, overall becomes a decent and credible sci fi motion picture. Its attempt to capture the sci fi tone and exhilaration of the genre actually succeeds, even if isn't completely grand in its depiction like Interstellar (2014) or Inception (2010).

I'll try to be honest and short here - it's another Primer wannabe movie, great idea and a very mediocre execution with total lack of technical detail thru the movie itself. Also, can anyone here explain me the one thing please - is it a nowadays trend with hysterical characters not capable of logic and proper reactions anymore? I remember the nearly same rant about Prometheus characters acting like hysterical amateurs and the proper crew in original Alien movie. Anyway, as i've previously mentioned the core idea behind the movie is great, and with a proper execution it can be a very nice top notch scifi movie, so don't take my prejudices too serious (because its just another someone's opinion on the internet) and watch that one for yourself.

"Shadows on the Wall is slow-burn sci-fi with a brilliant concept buried under uneven performances and a meandering pace. What saves it-what makes it stick-is the core idea: a device that uses cosmic background radiation as a medium for communication, tapping into the very fabric of the universe to transmit signals. The implications grow fast and frightening, and while the acting rarely rises above competent and the script could've used another pass, the ambition is undeniable. It's lo-fi, high-concept science fiction that dares to ask: what happens when you build a phone to the stars... and something answers?"

I really enjoyed this movie. It was well worth the watch. I gave it a 10 Star rating. I usually don't like this type of Science Fiction movie, but this was truly an exception to my rule. The actors were superb. I give it two thumbs up....
