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)

Its me momma 28 Aug 2010
Format:DVD
When I read the back of DVD for this film, I thought it was interesting but maybe not going to be one of my top 10 psych films. However, when I started watching it I soon changed my mind. It is well acted and has many twists and turns to it. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, makes a convincing patient and he is able to change his character with ease, making it more convincing. Julianne Moore's character struggled between her professional opinion and her personal one, however, I was slightly dissappointed with her. The acting did become a bit predictable and did slightly turn into the 'lets scream and run around a forest' scenario. But overall I really loved the film, and have already sent texts out to people I know who are into the same films as I am.

'Shelter' is a horror mystery-thriller that released theatrically in 2010 to mixed reviews. The box-office returns are not worth mentioning.

The movie tells the story of Adam (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) who has multiple personalities. He then gets examined by a psychiatrist (Julianne Moore) who makes a terrifying discovery and starts to uncover a shocking secret.

The movie starts off well with a psychological angle and makes the opening interesting. The movie thereafter presents a some effective jump-out-of-your-seat moments and numerous twist/turns to make the movie unpredictable. So far so good, but where the movie struggles is towards the end, when the pace slows down. The main twist is quite good, however the climax is weak and does not leave an impression. By the time the climax arrived, I lost interest in the movie. I was also left with a couple of unexplained events.

Julianne Moore is perfect in her role. The show stealer is Jonathan Rhys Meyers who produces a strong performance.

The direction provided by Måns Mårlind is competent in the early stages of the movie where there is an impressive build of tension, promising a lot. Where he fails is at the end where he loses the attention of the viewer and fails to live up to the expectations.

The feature has a good idea and at times provides thrills, making it a watchable fare.

'Shelter' in the end is just average viewing. For fans of mystery thrillers, it's worth a try.

Yes, this film falls into a category that is, if you like it, you'll love it and if you dislike it, you will hate it. For me, personally, watching the top notch performances by the two main actors fascinates my senses. Julianne Moore is great in her potrayal as a doctor debunking the myths behind the illness of a personality-disorders patients. Then comes Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a role that shows that he is just not another pretty boy. His acting is superb and I do hope he will take more meaty roles because this guy can really go far, acting-wise.
It is a slow burning chiller. If you love anything otherwordly, this is a must watch in the shelter of your home...
