J'ai toughé 40 minutes, y'a toujours ben des limites. Je pensais que Lindsay serait la détective loup-garou, mais non, c'est la vampire femme du président dans le post-Brexit pis elle avait eu juste 5 min d'écran à date, alors j'ai cru bon passer à d'autres choses. C'est vraiment, vraiment plus platte que ça peut avoir l'air dit de même.

Je regarde pas tout le temps autant de films de marde, et cette semaine je me faisais la réflexion que s'il n'y avait pas Letterboxd, probablement que je ne regarderais presque pas de film. Le truc, c'est que ça fait une bonne décennie maintenant que j'ai l'habitude de fréquenter les blogues (le mien et celui des autres), puis Letterboxd, et de…

Simply the worst, respectfully. 

A script that plays out like tween furry fanfic. The story makes no sense. Every line is a load of pants. It’s cringe. Effort went into this, that’s probably the saddest thing. If you squint you can see the outline of experience, at least in a technical sense. But fuck it sucks. 

I didn’t bother working out exactly what’s going on. A super convoluted plot that combines politics and ‘werewolves’ and ‘vampires’, but not in any kind of interesting way. I dunno what anyone’s relationship was. It’s all over the place. 

Lindsay is a terrible actress. She has the range of a pot plant and the most one note delivery I’ve ever seen. She brings children-level…

The budget for this movie was 12 million dollars....? Where the hell was the money? There was a time where Lindsay Lohan was actually great which was in the early 2000s with Mean Girls and Freaky Friday. But then well we all know what happened, she’s become so irrelevant at this point so who’s bright Idea was it to give her a leading role in 2019? Well apparently Tiago Mesquita thought so and he thought she should be casted as a president...let me make one thing clear the word president and Lindsay Lohan do not belong in the same sentence. Anyway the acting as you would expect is dreadful, the writing is completely worthless and the filming looks like something…

Among the Shadows has 29 credited producers. That feels excessive for an actual movie, much less whatever this is.

Vampires, with no weaknesses or compulsion to drink blood, and werewolves, who are unaffected by the moon and don't actually turn into wolves, are locked in a vast conspiracy that will reshape the newly reconstituted United States of Europe.

Among the Shadows fancies itself a political thriller, with extremely pointless supernatural elements penciled into the script because they're cool, I guess?

Composed of 35% establishing shots and 45% inner monologues, the film's plot is prodded along by numerous cut-ins to poorly CGI-ed news breaks. The movie keeps introducing new characters, each one more bland and indistinguishable from the last, as the…

Why did I even bother, as films go Among the Shadows is as bad as they come I would say.
Private detective Kristy Wolfe(Charlotte Beckett) investigates the murder of her uncle at the same time hides the secret that she's from a long line of werewolves.
Lindsay Lohan also shows up as first lady Patricia Sherman who just happens to be a vampire, a new low here from Lohan which is a shame because about 15 years or so I could seen her becoming a big star but that clearly wasn't to be.
Just a cheap production which feels amateurish using a very gray colour palette.
Not forgetting that random sex scene that just comes out of nowhere which feels…
