"Shut In" is that tedious genre movie that many probably feel the need to not watch til the end and some certainly even like, because they haven't seen this kind of thing too many times before, or they are in generous mood and the night was boring anyway, or they just did lots of drugs and now everything feels exciting, whatever. But somebody somewhere managed to get enough funding for it, using magic pitching words like "This is gonna be like X but with added Y and Z" and now it needs to be done. People just rehash whatever has done before countless times, sometimes with feeling (almost) fresh and becoming a cult classic, sometimes ending up just dull and ugly. You know, the kind of movies that don't feel like they have anything to say really, and may not even show much passion for the story, topic or genre they represent.

Der Druck ist riesig – und als auch noch Patientenkind Tom in einem Schneesturm verschwindet, dreht die schwer Angeknackste völlig am Kabel: In fast schlaflosen Nächten verschwimmen Albtraum und Realität, unheimliche Schritte knarzen durchs Haus – und plötzlich liegt jemand mit im Bett.
