In The Shadows





SHADOW PEOPLE-2011-This supernatural thriller is presented as a partial pseudo-documentary using fake interviews, You Tube posts and excerpts from a real documentary called YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE.

A loser late night radio DJ Charlie Crowe (Dallas Roberts) investigates reports of people dying in their sleep. A CDC scientist (Alison Eastwood) says they are related to the real life "Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome" that affected Hmong refugees in the US in the 1980's. But Crowe comes to believe that "shadow people", mysterious dark figures who kill victims in their sleep, are responsible. This is mostly talking and quick editing using "found footage" and really nothing happens. Director Matthew Arnold later created a TV series called SIBERIA.

Thanks for reading!
