Small town radio personality CHARLIE CROWE (Dallas Roberts) is thrust into the mystery when a strange caller relates a terrifying experience during Crowe's late night call-in show. At the same time, CDC Public Health Agent, SOPHIE LANCOMBE (Alison Eastwood), is hot on the trail of the cause of the rare medical condition known as SUNDS. Her investigations entwine her with Charlie's own discoveries and take them both into a dark world and a decades old cover-up about the phenomenon we now call, The Shadow People. Once you open the door to the mystery...you'll never sleep soundly again. (Verleiher-Text)

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.

Angenehmes Erschrecken, wenn auch nur für einen Moment. Diese halbdokumentarische Erzählung ist nämlich voller Aussagen von Zeugen und Fernsehberichten, und obwohl ich lieber klassischere Filme bevorzugen würde, hat diese Form etwas an sich. Der Film ist dann am stärksten, wenn die Schattenpuppen auf die Bühne treten. Beim nächtlichen Anschauen sollte ein ordentliches Gruseln aufkommen.
