Leave your thoughts about Shadow Hours.
| Dallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonShadow Hours must stand simply as an impressive B movie. Compared with what we've seen lately, however, that doesn't seem like a bad achievement by any means. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanA pointless modern morality play set in various sleazy locales that offer sex, drugs, assorted perversions, bare-knuckle fights, and even Russian roulette where lives are wagered for money. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorAn intriguing noir whose conceptual sophistication is partly undermined by naive execution. |
| Mr. ShowbizLarry TerenziWithout any momentum and lacking both depth and interesting characters, Shadow Hours makes sin seem pretty damn boring. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannCynical to an extreme, it doesn't illustrate its points but blasts them at us -- in italics, boldface and capital letters. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardA cheaply voyeuristic story whose "twist" is hardly worth the wait. |
| Village VoiceAmy TaubinIsaac Eaton wrote and directed; he evidences little talent in either department. |
| Film.comRobert HortonA standard morality tale, and looks especially weak in the shadow of "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Fight Club," which it resembles. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakThe lapses in logic make a weak subplot about a serial killer on the loose just plain silly instead of provocative. |
| User ReviewCortneyW.I like movie becuase it is awesome movie. |
