#Watch shut in movie
Especially under the pretenses, from the Daily Wire itself, that this was a movie from a “fiercely independent film studio making movies that Americans love.” The concept itself was interesting, but that’s exactly what it remained the entire movie. Overall, the setting was well-established and believable, but the movie was a major letdown. While the cinematic aesthetics consistently create beautiful shots, closeups are notoriously meant to draw focus, and when a director chooses to adhere to that in some instances and not in others, it just becomes confusing. In some cases, the shots served as excellent foreshadowing, but in most cases, they seemed to only be there for aesthetic purposes. Viewers wouldn’t know it’s a product of Ben Shapiro’s online empire, aside from the opening credits and the platform on which it’s watched.Ĭinematically, the movie had a lot of classic, close-up, anticipation-building shots.

The movie is not political and served more to make a statement about humanity as a whole. They operated with subtlety until they decided you also needed it spelled out for you. The influence of religion on broken people was nicely explored with shots of a Bible, a statue of Jesus on the cross, and *spoiler alert* holes in the hands meant to advance the idea that just the presence of religious images and symbols have power and carry weight. The movie is infused with ample additional religious symbolisms, which is really the only “conservative” thing about the film. “Shut In” thematically deals with the concept of good and bad people symbolized by apples throughout the entire movie. Her ex-boyfriend comes over, locks her in a pantry under a methamphetamine-induced rage, and she has to struggle to save her children before anything else can harm them.

She lives in the country with fields riddled with rotten apples, struggling to make ends meet. The story begins with a newly sober Jessica, played by Rainey Qualley, her two children, and an abusive ex-boyfriend. The movie, while rich in symbolism and cinematic shots, lacked originality and really cannot be called a thriller. 10, “Shut In” is the first original film from Ben Shapiro’s media company.

That’s what a friend said as we watched The Daily Wire’s new thriller, “Shut In.” Released on Feb.
