Shelley is somewhat of a contradictory film. It has a clearly defined storyline, which is fine on the one hand, but on the other it's simply boring. It has scenes that are breathtaking in what they depict and how they depict it, and then suddenly it seems like it's almost hippie agitprop. It's very unbalanced, which is a shame and the reason why I give the film only an average rating.

I haven’t been disappointed with a Nordic movie for a long time. That is until I saw Shelley, a copy of Rosemary’s Baby, which capitalizes on the only interesting aspect of the movie – the environment of a secluded house in Denmark with a nice lake next to it as a bonus. Nothing happened in the movie for the entire hour and a half. There are people here who speak of an atmosphere, but that atmosphere would have to be atmospheric in any way for it to work at all. This one had nothing worth your interest and the only moment that was at least a bit interesting was the ending. But the director would have managed to shoot such a punchline even within a short movie within no more than five minutes and he wouldn’t have had to ruin our lives with it.
