Synopsis

On a star-filled night, homeless Thomas seeks warm shelter. Still grieving his late wife, ruined and desperate, he comes across a vast house with the lights on and an inviting open front door. But the next morning, the premises will not let him leave. Destiny has brought Thomas to this place and now he must survive a very personal ordeal. For what appeared a safe haven turns out to be something far more malevolent. From Arrow in The Head blogger, writer and director John Fallon, a psychological horror show tapping into fears of the mind, body and soul.

beorhhouse Either a story is too worldly (secular) or it is too churchy. That is the normal state of affairs. Director John Fallon sees things differently, and should be applauded. This is an excellent film of offered, and rejected, salvation.Guide: Lots of sex, but not gratuitous Lots of foul language, not gratuitous Some scary scenes, not gratuitous
Richard Dominguez Good Movie About A Guy Who Is Given A Chance To Find Redemption In His Past And Is Much Too Bitter With Self Loathing To Seek Forgiveness ... In The End Knowing What He Had To Do He Instead Choices To Continue Punishing Himself ... A Very Unique Vision In The Direction And Story Telling Of "Seeking Forgiveness" Everywhere But Within Ourselves ... 72 Minutes Long The Story Never Goes Long Without Reminding Us That While We Want, It Is Not Enough ... It Is Also A Reminder That In The End We Judge Ourselves ... The Movie Does Have A Religious Tone To It But Only A Tone ... Which Makes Understanding What Is Happening In The Story A Little Harder (I Imagine) To Grasp For Those Who Lack In A Strong Religious Understanding ... Michael (Thomas) Is Very Good In The Role Of A Suffering Soul Seeking For Understanding And Yet At The Same Time Denying That Understanding ...
Glinda The Shelter is a unique psychological/supernatural thriller that will take you into the deepest depths of a broken man's soul as he struggles to come to terms with the guilt he feels and seek redemption for his past misdeeds.A history of debauchery resulting in the death of a loved one has left Thomas a mentally tortured, guilt ridden, homeless alcoholic. When he stumbles upon an empty house that seemingly welcomes him to enter, he finds himself literally trapped inside with his memories eating him alive - or are there real supernatural powers at work punishing him? This is a question you must figure out for yourself, which is the beauty of this haunting story. Beautifully shot, atmospheric and haunting, with a fantastic score, I highly recommend The Shelter. Finally something new and original in the horror genre! Check it out!I have left (almost) this same review on Amazon under the ID pmd64.
Jack Hunter Michael Parre should set up Go Fund Me if he is starving. I think I'd rather donate to feed him then see him in "films" like this.John Fallon I've never heard of prior to this nonsense, but he should find something else to do with his life. Maybe be a preacher.At time of me writing this there is only one other review, and that person is rating it an 8/10. I guess if it was fake review it would probably have given it a 10/10, so maybe someone genuinely liked this.We have 75 minutes of Michael Parre playing a lunatic homeless person who is behaving like he just overdosed on bath salts. For some crazy reason (maybe I missed how he got it) at one point this homeless guy has a loaded gun which he proceeds to fire in house he broke into. The entire movie plays like LSD trip. A bad trip. Its filled with unexplained nonsense, characters who appear, disappear, are never explained, and in all honesty my attention drifted. I had it playing on one of my three monitors while working on other two, and I quite possibly missed few bits of explanation at some point, maybe, but I doubt it.The sole reason I endured this to the end is just to see if there is any legitimate reason not to give it a 1/10, I like Parre and I would prefer to rate things hes in bit higher, but ... this film is just bad. Not so bad its good, just plain bad, boring, nonsense about God.We are in 2016 people. Its obvious to anyone sane there is no "God" and there never was. Get a life!
