Verdict on Voice of Shadows
Voice of Shadows is a horror thriller following a man whose partner inherits a home. However, they must follow a certain set of rules to get the home, and he discovers an evil within the walls. He must figure out how to stop it before it is too late.
This movie looks to bring us a new possession story, using an inherited home as the main location for things to happen. However, it seems to fall short and never deep dive into the reason the home has a connection. It places some rules, which get broken and never discussed and ends up plodding along at a slow pace, without hitting any horror notes. The movie ends up feeling lifeless and by the end not enough of an impact is felt.
Where to Watch
VOICE OF SHADOWS will arrive September 17 on digital and streaming platforms, including iTunes/Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Fandango at Home, Vimeo, and local cable & satellite providers.
Final Thoughts – Voice of Shadows fails to grab our attention and struggles to scare us.
