The Shrine Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
spider_rebel This film is one of the best horror films I have ever seen in my life. This film may not be scary but its very disturbing and this is the true definition of horror. I don't understand why this film is rated 5.6 out of the 10 in imdb because this is a very fantastic film and it deserves at least a 9 out of the 10 overall. Great acting. Good picture quality, very interesting and fun story, perfect sounds effects, and realistic special effects are really good. This film deserves awards and if you're a horror fan, you definitely need to see this!
allwinsuar The Shrine is an incredibly tense and entertaining cinematic experience that should keep horror fans guessing until the very end and further proves that Knautz is a filmmaking force to be reckoned with. The Shrine builds and builds and builds, until it finally shows just what it is made of.Definitely not worth the IMDb rating.
Lauren I had decided to just watch this after being intrigued by the summary and cover and since I'm a huge horror movie fan I always give everything a chance regardless of my expectations or reviews, sometimes you find gems that way. With the Shrine I felt like the movie had potential but failed in fully executing it. I'll admit there was parts that were surprisingly good and scary yet that was about it. The plot was full of holes, the acting mediocre.. I mean it is a B horror film so do not set high expectations and it was quite frustrating at times to watch in which u wonder why someone would put themselves in that situation but I guess it was part of the plot ..id say give it a shot but like I said don't expect much.
GL84 Trying to investigate a missing person's case, a reporter and her friends travel to Poland to follow up on their clues only to find the suspect's involvement in a deadly cult and are forced to fight them off to get away alive.Overall this one turned out to be quite an enjoyable if slightly flawed effort. One of the better aspects to this one is the rather impressive and enjoyable atmosphere throughout here, which makes for a lot of impressive moments within here. The initial walk-through of the group of the village is quite impressive as there's a large amount of creepy visuals that are rightly observed to be their traditional way of life in such a situation and no moralizing is done anyway which is a nice touch while also really getting this going for the big reveal here in the revelation of the fog cloud surrounding the tree-line that's quite eerie as well. Those later scenes in the fog-cloud are highly creepy as well with the obscured trees and thick fog providing the perfect blanket for the reveal of the statue which is quite scary and chilling as well as the ensuing marks to get away that generates some fine action in the woodland chase and eventual escape as well as the brawling with the cult members and finally the film's first rather impressive scene in the sacrificial room. These chilling scenes and the eventual escape, resulting in the finale's absolutely delirious amount of chases through the woods and into the house on the outskirts, the demonic possession that follows the utterly chilling tactic of the deformed demons in her mind and finally into the big confrontation with the group at the end which makes for a lot of good, creepy images and ideas strewn throughout this one. Along with the gory kills, these positives are enough to hold off the few minor flaws in this one. The biggest one being the first half spending way too much time on ensuring that the whole trip is set-up for them to be cut off from help, with the errant cover-story and secrecy surrounding it all just filling up time needlessly by hammering it home when it's already been established about that fact. Also, the fact that this continues a long, long trend of films in which the entirety of the events could've easily been avoided had something useful been passed along to the participants instead of simply kept secret does render this one with a mildly irritating factor, but otherwise this one was highly enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity, violence-against-animals and children-in-jeopardy including an assumed violent kill.
