Shelter (2010) 7/10

Starring : Julianne Moore, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jeffrey DeMunn, Frances Conroy
Director : Mans Marlind & Bjorn Stein
Running Time : 108 mins

Forensic psychiatrist Cara Harding (Moore) is brought in to examine a man named Adam (Rhys Meyers), a man who suffers from multiple personality disorder that is both mental and physical. As she delves into the personalities that he embodies, she soon discovers that they are the personalities of murder victims and that she and her family might be next on his list of personalities…

This starts off as what would appear to be a pretty unusual psychological thriller but soon spins itself into a weird horror flick. Nothing truly horrific happens, but the plot with the strange entity that steals people’s souls definitely spells horror plot to me. Thriller fans will enjoy this, but if you want an actual horror with monsters and burtal killings then this probably won’t quench your thirst.
