I actually watched this one...dear heavens, that twist. That. Twist! As for sleeping on the cinema, it turns out it actually is a thing. My mother was a district attorney and met all sorts of weird cases, one of which included a fellow who suffered from some kind of nervous disorder. For some reason, he could only sleep at the movies and would regularly attend sessions for the sole purpose of doing. One night, he finds himself sitting close to a fellow who kept on talking on the phone (you know the kind, bloody hate them), and thus prevented him from sleeping (as odd as it may seem, nothing on screen affected him but the talking was too distracting). Several times he tells the fellow to please stop talking and several times he gets ignores. Until he simply loses it and clocks him in the face. The guy was actually acquitted. His rare condition and the fact that for him going to the movies meant the only time he could actually sleep, on top of the phone guy's less than good etiquette, had the court acquit him. For all I know, he is still sleeping on movie theaters.
Probably people who have a newborn baby at home an maybe told thier spouse ok honey I'm going out with my friends like they are each allowed 1 day to get away an hang out with friends but instead they just really want some good sleep so they go to the theater to take a nap unbothered lol but they go back home an tell thier spouse o yea honey we just went had few drinks had a good time .
Stoned Gremlin Productions indeed I am. I'm like Rainn Wilson from Super. "Shut up crime!" seriously though is he trying to scare children? is it like an ironic fashion sense or is that a normal look in that part of Illinois? Cuz here in Chicago we chase people that look like that away from schools.
When you started to describe the plot, I suddenly remembered that I did see a trailer for this movie. It played a couple of times before youtube videos a while back. I kind of remembered it was pushing "there's a ghost" plot in the trailer.
You never saw the trailer?! I got the same trailer for this stupid thing over every single video I watched for an entire week! It got to the point where the jump scares didn't scare me anymore. I was actually looking forward to seeing your video on it because I was so annoyed by the trailer that I wanted to see the movie torn apart.
Shwah Gamers Same! I actaully rewound because I thought I misheard Brad. Literally over a week of unskippable trailers for this before evey UA-cam video I watched. 😑
Also, was he just doing exercises after Naomi went to bed? Because after a while I'm pretty sure his muscles would have started to atrophy, faking or not.
also if he's going to pretend that he's in a vegetative state, then he would have to piss and shit on himself and she would have to clean him by changing his adult diapers. I wonder if they address that in the movie....
It sounds like this movie's "twist" only works because the viewer has some level of suspension of disbelief. "Oh, that looks like shit but I guess he's supposed to be paralyzed."
Brad, the only way I can imagine you not seeing any of this film's trailers is that you boycotted UA-cam for a month. I have literally seen at least a dozen unskippable trailers for this movie. It was before every video I watched.
Another review where brad seems concerned about spoilers. Has he been getting a lot of flack for that lately? Normally he laughs at the idea of bringing up the spoiler tag in midnight screenings.
TheRcanmeananything why does that shitty movie have a twitter campaign? and its damn acronym makes no damn sense. if that movie was a person id punch it right in the throat. or the ear. no one likes getting punched in the ear.
I think this movie was stealth released after being held back for a while. The kid in the movie (the little boy from ROOM) is also in another shitty horror movie that's been shelved for over a year that's supposed to be coming out at some point called Before I Wake. It was supposed to be out in September then got delayed again. Just preparing for you that one for when the comments of "Are you going to see Before I Wake?" start pouring in.
I did a quick search, and apparently Stranger Things started shooting in November of 2015, while Shut In was filmed in March of 2015. So yeah, this was a pre-Stranger Things casting that was shelved for a while.
The craziest part? the story of a guy who pretends to be an invalid in so he doesnt have to do anything anymore? thats an episode of just shoot me lol. it was slightly different but still thats pretty close lol
I saw trailers for this in front of UA-cam videos for about a week. I thought it was gonna be a home invasion/supernatural flick. Dang. I was really tempted to Netflix it.
Maybe it was you guys who said this but someone made the comparison that the kid from Stranger Things and Eddie Furlong are what would happen if Leo DiCaprio was ugly and I can't unsee that now.
IMO it wasn’t THAT bad! I didn’t see the twist coming but figured someone else was in the house besides the two boys and her. Don’t get how he was able to seem so feeble when he was probably getting up at night raiding the frig! lol Did he even have a diagnosis?
so there was another movie this year, with an even more limited run that was originally called shut in but changed to "intruders" because of this film's need for beefier promotion, which is now a flop. i wonder if intruders would've been a bigger hit with more promotion, its a decent home invasion flick
Chris Stuckman also eviscerated this movie. That guy is the least harsh of all UA-cam critics, so when he hates a movie, there is no doubt that it will be shit.
Nah, my guy was awake for the beginning. Then when major shit was going down, he started snoring. Up until the very end. Was tempted to smack him awake because it was really loud and distracting, but I think the guy was in his sixties.
Christ this movie was a complete mess. Watts is such a good actress but this screenplay( more like an outline it seemed) had no teeth and more often than not made zero sense most of the time. It was pure bliss listening to these guys take it apart
Nothing brings me joy like listening to Brad and Brian talk for 40-60 minutes about a bad movie.

I work at a movie theater and it's actually really common here to have people come in just to sleep, happens almost every weekday
I know a case of a guy who could only sleep at the movies.

I do love it when you two get together and review a shitty horror movie! :)
Tell me about it, they're my favorite Midnight Screenings duo because they review the shitty horror movies
+August West You've said this more than once. You seem really obsessed with whether or not people look like child molesters.

Cannibal Rarity I like it when they enjoy Shitty black people horror and thriller movies.
get copyright strike just talk about movie this why youtube system is fuck!
I broke the code from the blinking lights. Message received, Brad. Message RECEIVED.
When you started to describe the plot, I suddenly remembered that I did see a trailer for this movie. It played a couple of times before youtube videos a while back. I kind of remembered it was pushing "there's a ghost" plot in the trailer.
after hearing the plot of this movie i think the script was originaly for a hentai
Not enough tentacles for it to be hentai. Also hentai plots make more sense than this.
Hentai doesn't require tentacles. Please don't rape me doesn't have tentacles, it just has a lot of rape.
Neither does rape rape rape, or triple ecchii HHH

I never saw one trailer for this, mine are mostly for video games.

DontMindMeNow Nice! Didn't notice the tiny McDo sign till reading this comment.
Also, was he just doing exercises after Naomi went to bed? Because after a while I'm pretty sure his muscles would have started to atrophy, faking or not.
also if he's going to pretend that he's in a vegetative state, then he would have to piss and shit on himself and she would have to clean him by changing his adult diapers. I wonder if they address that in the movie....
And if his muscles did not atrophy, wouldn't she notice that?
14:26 A jumpscare involving a raccoon ? Muh God, Phelous needs to review this movie !!
All the people in this movie are sooooo stoopeeed.
It sounds like this movie's "twist" only works because the viewer has some level of suspension of disbelief. "Oh, that looks like shit but I guess he's supposed to be paralyzed."

Why is House at the End of the Street abbreviated to HATES?
"at the" count but "of the" don't?
Shouldn't it be HES? Or HATEOTS?
th3mdt Ask the Twitter campaign! #HaTES
TheRcanmeananything
why does that shitty movie have a twitter campaign? and its damn acronym makes no damn sense. if that movie was a person id punch it right in the throat. or the ear. no one likes getting punched in the ear.
Assumed this was bad because the review was 40 minutes long, but not 0% on rotten tomatoes bad.

Just preparing for you that one for when the comments of "Are you going to see Before I Wake?" start pouring in.
As you assumed the cinematographer worked on super bright movies like Wild and Brooklyn and a bunch of French movies.
oh boy, this'll be an entertaining one.
Geoduck Sauce Rebeaned
weird comment. weirder name.
***** I assume he doesn't know who Gyro is, but I agree with you!
I saw it Wednesday. I ended up being alone in the movie theater. It has never happened to me since Ratchet and Clank. It is that good.
I did a quick search, and apparently Stranger Things started shooting in November of 2015, while Shut In was filmed in March of 2015. So yeah, this was a pre-Stranger Things casting that was shelved for a while.
lets hope that move doesnt ruin his career... he is really good in stranger things
this is the second review where people have mentioned not seeing any trailers. There have been a ton of online and tv spots in my area.
The trailer was in front of every UA-cam movie I watched for a week
Yoga Hosers gets brought up almost once per review lately. Defining movie of the year?
it's because on the promotion was on UA-cam to where it was absolutely a turn off to go see it
It’s funny Brad compares this to Goodnight Mommy when the American remake of that film also starred Naomi Watts.
The craziest part? the story of a guy who pretends to be an invalid in so he doesnt have to do anything anymore? thats an episode of just shoot me lol. it was slightly different but still thats pretty close lol
I saw trailers for this in front of UA-cam videos for about a week. I thought it was gonna be a home invasion/supernatural flick. Dang. I was really tempted to Netflix it.
It genuinely upsets me that Jacob Tremblay was in a bad movie, because he was fantastic in Room.
condutchak this and Before I Sleep were both shitty
...Then you won't like that he was in /Smurfs 2 before that.
The Director's mom gave this video it's first dislike.
Jacemachine Gaming The second was the director's gramma
Jacemachine Gaming The 12 other dislikes are from the directors family
Thanksgiving Is close cant wait im inviting My buddy Oscar Sweep over and goin to watch this rough diamond lol
I'm only just now hearing of this.
Maybe it was you guys who said this but someone made the comparison that the kid from Stranger Things and Eddie Furlong are what would happen if Leo DiCaprio was ugly and I can't unsee that now.
Wait, Leo DiCaprio isn't ugly?
Maybe that guy was a ghost?
there's a
HALLMARK CHANNEL movie
WHAT THE DEAF MAN HEARD
IMO it wasn’t THAT bad! I didn’t see the twist coming but figured someone else was in the house besides the two boys and her. Don’t get how he was able to seem so feeble when he was probably getting up at night raiding the frig! lol Did he even have a diagnosis?

24:55 I figured that was just because you're you, Brad, but the more you explained it, the more suspicious it started to sound...
Chris Stuckman also eviscerated this movie. That guy is the least harsh of all UA-cam critics, so when he hates a movie, there is no doubt that it will be shit.
What's with the blinking lights in the background? Are you guys at an airport parking lot?
Jon Winkler Could be a cell tower or a radio tower.
If you guys get the chance, please, please Please see Nocturnal Animals
I saw the trailer and I'm so angry I called the twist just from seeing it.
For gods sake, VISIONS has a better plot twist than this film.
Brennan Laskas Funny Games isn't funny and Shut In needs to Shut Up!
Funny Games is kinda brutal movie.
I wonder if anyones ever recognized and danced in the background of one of these
also what a long video for such a wonky movie haha. its like half the length. somehow its awesome
After I saw the trailer, I thought the movie would go the other way and turn Naomi Watts into Anjanette Comer from The Baby.
I had a guy fall asleep right behind me when I went to see The Dark Knight. Some people just like to waste their money.
So this is the new Case 39?
th3mdt What if there asleep from the screening before and just never got up
Nah, my guy was awake for the beginning. Then when major shit was going down, he started snoring. Up until the very end. Was tempted to smack him awake because it was really loud and distracting, but I think the guy was in his sixties.
Charlie Heaton is hes name
I nodded off during this review. So I guess I won't be seeing this movie. :-)
In short, Brad, would you say that this film is a miracle sleeping pill ;)?
I got a trailer for this film. It did not look that good.
Christ this movie was a complete mess. Watts is such a good actress but this screenplay( more like an outline it seemed) had no teeth and more often than not made zero sense most of the time. It was pure bliss listening to these guys take it apart
This movie sounds like a non-rip off American rip off of "Goodnight Mommy".
I hated this Naomi Watts movie just as much as Funny Games
Funny games was simply disgusting!
The writing was terrible, just terrible. Who wrote the script, a twelve year old?
This movie was so dreadfully dull
