Platypuschow First of all nobody has seen this, the movie has so few ratings this is one of those highly obscure films which the creators clearly didn't make much effort in promoting.Productions values, solid until you realise this is a werewolf movie with no werewolves.The plot is ridiculous and tells the tale of a group of 20 somethings hiding in a cabin from hunters who have lured them out with the intent of using them as bait for the werewolves because werewolf spit is good business.Still with me? Exactly, great plot right? Nope. So for 90 minutes nothing really happens, lots of soap opera level side stories and acting quality and little else.The Good: I'll get back to you on that one The Bad: Dreadfully promotedMore cheating protagonists Some bad overacting Plot makes no sense No ruddy werewolves in a werewolf film!Things I learnt from this movie:Instead of running away from the thing trying to kill you a viable option is instead to stand there and die

a_baron If you think you've seen this film before - three guys, three girls in one car off to a mysterious house - think again. "The Shattering" is certainly an original - a film about werewolves without any actual werewolves in it, but it can be confusing, which also makes it rather annoying. So what happens to the group? As you might suspect, something very unpleasant. This begins when one of them gets out to fix the blown tyre they don't realise has been sabotaged by a mysterious group of armed men in combat clothing. He is dragged off and killed if not actually eaten. The five survivors make it to the house, and soon it becomes clear that one of their number knows more than he is letting on. This is because another of the group - his terminally ill girlfriend - has been brought here, ostensibly, to see a healer, but in reality for something a lot more bizarre.Don't expect a happy ending, but you probably won't see what is coming, and you certainly won't understand it.

Rainey Dawn The beginning of the started out OK - I didn't have a problem with it but the longer this film goes on the worse it gets. The ending was terrible - horrible - awful.Typical film: Find away to seclude the characters in the woods and bump them off. At least there was no sex like you would typically see. There was cheating which actually was a little bit relevant to the film because it made the one girl mad and she ran outside and died via the werewolf.Sadly we did not see the two irritating characters die we only saw them disappear near the end of the film - that would be the two that cheated the one girl that was killed by the werewolf. I hated these two and wanted them to die early in the film - they are very annoying. I keep routing for the werewolf or hunters to bump them off quickly.The acting in this film is bad - the hunters were OK but our main characters were not good. The story is lame, kinda predictable. You never see a werewolf in the film - I would be fine with that IF they had better/likable characters in the film but they didn't. I could not like anyone in the film enough to sympathize enough with - even the girl cheated on I did not like enough nor did I like the girl with cancer that well - they are the only two close to liking in the movie.I was going to give this film a 4 until I saw the ending.3/10

Theo Robertson I was a bit apprehensive when THE SHATTERING started . Not being a fan of found footage the opening sequence suggests it's going to be a new twist on that sub-genre by having instead of video footage we're getting silent super 8 mm lost footage . This doesn't happen and if someone is thinking of making a 90 minute feature film with 8 mm celluloid with no sound please don't because there's absolutely no market for it . Thankfully THE SHATTERING which has an impressive DVD cover isn't lost footage horror but that said it's not a very good horror movie and probably deserves its straight to DVD status One massive flaw becomes apparent right away where four characters are driving in a car and one of the characters mentions she's receiving chemo-therapy and they're off to meet a mystical healer. One of the character replies along the lines of "Oh so that's why we're driving along this very dark road late at night" which quickly draws your attention to a lack of internal logic to the scene . If a bunch of people are going to be driving up a lonely dark road late at night wouldn't they ask before they get in the car why they're going on a long journey ? In other words it's a scene of clunky , clumsy exposition . The rest of the film continues in the same way . It's fairly obvious the characters are stuck in the middle of nowhere but the screenplay feels the need to emphasise this by stating "We've driven for miles and haven't seen anyone" as if the audience are unaware of this . Every time someone opens their mouth what comes out is plot mechanics and sounds very unnatural . As the story continues it becomes a group of young people are trapped by something in the dark and if you've seen the DVD cover you'll know what's stalking them . If you haven't then don't worry because one of the characters will explain the plot as it goes along
