From the producer of The Devil's Rejects - Back in the 1970s several patients in an experimental sleep study reported seeing shadowy intruders. These patients - and hundreds of others - died in their sleep soon after. Doctors called the phenomenon 'Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome'. They refused to discuss the shadows. Now a struggling late-night radio host (Dallas Roberts) and a skeptical CDC investigator (Alison Eastwood) have begun researching a disturbing new outbreak of shadow sightings and sleep fatalities. Could this be a case of paranoid hallucination or are these victims literally being scared to death by actual nightmare creatures? Anne Dudek and Mariah Bonner co-star in this supernatural thriller based on true events documenting the authentic existence of Shadow People. (Anchor Bay Films)

A pleasant surprise, I fancy this kind of mysterious, supernatural horror flicks. We have seen a story like this a million times (a protagonist investigating a supernatural phenomenon), but when it’s well executed, I see no reason to complain. Shadow People pretends to be a documentary about real events, not that I would believe that, it’s easy to see that it’s fiction (and if it was true, the creators would be assholes trying to exterminate humanity, lol), but the approach does fit the premise (and the real phenomenon called SUNDS) and I think it was a smart choice. The occasional jump-scares are fine and I felt a couple of chills when the shadow people are revealed. In short, a decent evening horror snack.
