Product Description

United Kingdom released, Blu-Ray/Region B DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Dolby DTS-HD Master Audio ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Julianne Moore stars in this supernatural horror film as second-generation forensic psychiatrist Dr. Cara Jessup, whose career as an expert witness has been largely built on her firm testimony that so-called "multiple personality disorder" is a hoax or a myth -- and does not really exist. Over six killers have been convicted and sentenced to death based on her assertions, though Cara has remained firm in her beliefs, both about science and about God. All of those beliefs are shaken to the core, however, when her own husband is murdered, and her father introduces her to his own most challenging patient, a troubled young man named Adam -- who would seem to suffer from multiple personalities, each of which are the identities of murder victims. Soon, Cara is in a race against time to discover whether all her convictions have really been called into question or if she is merely a pawn in a psychotic, deadly game. ...Shelter (2010) (Blu-Ray)

3.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining rollercoaster of a thriller 9 Aug 2010
By J. Morris TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Blu-ray
Shelter features Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Match Point & From Paris With Love) as a mental patient who displays some extremely convincing symptoms of multiple-personality disorder. Despite the generally held consensus that MPD is largely psychotherapist-induced, the patient displays physiological differences between his alters; such as being color-blind in one and paralysed in another. X-rays confirm that this is true paralysis, with a true change in spine and mobility ocurring when his personality 'switches'. As Cara (Julianne Moore - A Single Man) delves deeper into each one of his alters, she discovers that her patient cannot be fabricating each personality as they were all real people with real backgrounds that he knows in too much detail to be synthesizing. Her paranoia peaks when the patient starts to absorb people she knows causing their untimely death. Running scared, Cara resorts to a rumoured witch community living in the mountains that maybe able to protect her daughter who has been marked for 'shelter', do they hold the solution to this phenomenom?

Shelter is a fantastic concept; the premise of more than one person occupying the same body had me intrigued from the off. The two leads are well acted and Meyers deserves accolades for his gamut of emotion throughout his performance, having to play many different character-types. The film falls flat on it's face after about half an hour as you start to question just where this is all going.

There is little explanation as to why people are marked for 'shelter' apart from being 'faithless' and it seemed a little odd to me that in 180 years of living the patient has only taken on 3 personalities then during the movie 'shelters' another 6 or 7 in rapid succession with no real motivation other than to torment his psychoanalyst. The soundwave analysis that Uncle Stephen (Nathan Corddry - Rob Corddry's little brother) does is just laughable. I really thought Hollywood had got over incredulous computer scenes in film but obviously not; he takes an image of a shadow from a still of CCTV and converts that into a soundwave that holds a voice, all the while tapping on his keyboard randomly and sipping a beer, listening to music. It was so cringeworthy it made me wish that whole scene had been left on the editing room floor, the movie would be better off for the experience. For the coup de grâce; the witch village is headed up by a gnarled little old lady, it couldn't have been much more cliché if they tried...

In conclusion, this starts out really well and has two strong actors to fill the roles, it just gets lost along the way and becomes another generic horror movie with paper-thin characters, relying on hackneyed plot mechanisms and mysticism to fill in the gaping story holes. Recommended for a decent supernatural thriller but it doesn't steal the show in any respect!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fab 13 May 2013
Format:Blu-ray
The plot line is predictable, cast acts it well. But Shelter is a great watchable thriller, if your like me and don't like too much horror in your films this is fab. Just enough suspense and a few shocks to keep you following along intently. Jonathan Rhys Meyers gives an award worthy performance as the protagonist his change of emotion is fantastic to watch. Julianne Moore gives a warm and considered performance as the therapist/heroine. The final thump of the movie actually leaves you wanting a little bit more. Good all round entertainment.

Purchased this Movie because my wife loves Mr Meyer's from Tudor's.
This is a good tale of the science in psychology and God.The film takes you on a trip with Jonathan Rhys Meyer's at the wheel. This is a good film to see.
