    I won't rate this movie

    If I can't give this movie a 0 rating then why bother? I've seen some absolutely horrible movies, I usually give them a 1. I watched it til the end, and honestly if you quit part way through, you can't know just how bad this movie is :) The ending made it even worse than it already was. And not scary, at all. Just kind of really dumb.

    While the reviews are bad....

    I would not say that this movie is all bad. The Shadow People starts out bland enough. A newlywed couple driving home swerve to avoid a person on the road, and ultimately, their car gets stuck. What follows in n unraveling sequence of events that, at first only Megan can see.

    My initial thoughts here were: Why didn't Andrew turn off the car before they decided to prance home in the rain? Why didn't one of them call a tow truck when they got home instead of getting down to sex? Was Cain supposed to be a remake of a similar character (Kain) in Poltergeist?

    It is not until the final act that we see the reality of what happened in that "near miss car accident with mysterious girl on the road".

    I am not going to say anything here to give away the spoilers, but, the acting by Kat Steffens and Bug Hall was good enough to make me watch to the end.

    If you want to watch a scary movie this is not it.

    The movie starts out looking like it might be OK. Ghosts start appearing and you think it might by scary. Throughout the whole movie it is not scary. It seems that the whole point of the movie is for the couple to kiss. That seems to be all they do. There is a gratuitous sex/nude scene at the start. I actually did not even see the end. My wife and I could not even care enough to watch it till the end.

    They tried.

    So it's one of those movies. The couple was very high school romance...pawing at each other in every scene. Kat seems to think acting only involves her nauseating toothy smile and showing her boobs. Bug actually has some acting ability but it's squandered on this overacted nightmare. Kat Steffens is a beautiful girl, but overacted every scene. The movie could have been good, and I'm shocked that C. Thomas Howell would agree to be in such a movie. Honestly, this movie was so bad. I'm not sure what the director wanted but this could not have been it. This movie failed at being scary. The first "scary" scene made me laugh hard as the ghost made rawr hands. C'mon. Try harder! Don't waste your brain cells.

    Boring, predictable and a waste of C. Thomas Howell

    I watched this film all the way through, but about mid way through I had already guessed the ending. The pace was far too slow. The two leads weren't likable, at all. For Howell fans, he appears in maybe five minutes or less of the film. Recommended for people who enjoy dark/broody romantic supernatural films. For those who like a little scare factor and characters that make one care, skip it.
