Shadowtown Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeatAugust 7, 2025My quick rating - 4.3/10. This movie looks really good, and since we don't get to see Iceland very often, it is unique for that aspect. I would hope that this isn't the best that they have to offer, though, since there are a lot of flaws to this one. Mainly, a mystery usually either sets up an event, in this case, the grandmother's death, and then ends with a resolution. Or sometimes leads you into your own imagination to piece together a couple of outcomes since the rest of it was so damn interesting, you cared to do so. This movie gives you neither of these scenarios. This flick just plods along with hints of what is going on as Brittany Bristow (Maya), who inherited the grandmother's home and begins getting clues about her that lead to digging up what happened. Another problem is too they are often dropped on you in scenes that are edited in the wrong places. I don't know if that was on purpose to be overly confusing or just major mistakes, but it is distracting, to say the least. John Rhys-Davies does an adequate job as the neighbor who tries to help Maya figure out what may have happened. Again, hints are provided along the way that there may be more to the story, so you have to suspect more is going on. Just as I am doing by saying that. The aesthetics in this are fine, but the technical stuff and the story itself drag it down to less than average. Never like when a flick ends and I say to myself, "That's it?" Unless you do like said feeling, I would pass.
