Review: "The Shrine" (2010) - written June 15, 2011

By definition "The Shrine" is not a bad movie, at least in mine. It isn't great, but it isn't, really, bad. There are some moments that might seem cliche or typical of the 'tourist horror' genre. The worst thing I have to say about this movie is that there is a lot of green screen, and it is easy to tell when. However the movie will surprise, not on a big scale mind you, but there will be moments where you let out a mild gasp or shriek(possibly). On the DVD case it does say something along the lines of "The ending will surprise you", which is true, only it's not the ending and it's three words. Another quote on the case says horror fans will be pleased (or something like that). In my opinion, horror fans will be mildly pleased. Gore just enters the realm of 'disturbing', but a little disturbing nonetheless, language is low to my twenty minute recollection, and nudity is brief and partial.
