Steven is a troubled kid from Maine being sent to boarding school. While his father, Richard Portman, is driving him there, they get into a bad argument, and the car swerves into oncoming traffic, killing Richard and putting Steven in a vegetative state. Six months later, Steven's stepmother, Mary, is taking care of him. Mary is a psychologist who works from home with children and adolescents. She is upset to learn that one of her patients, a deaf child named Tom, is to be transferred to a school in Boston. Later, Mary discusses Steven with her therapist, Dr. Wilson.

Leave your thoughts about Shut In.
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe formulaic plot is dragged out to tedious effect while we wait impatiently for the climax. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersIt's the audience that gets locked into a "deep vegetative state." |
| TheWrapSam FragosoIdeologically, morally, and narratively, the film contains no point of view, no perspective that suggests human beings joined forces to create a piece of art they can stand behind. |
| Screen InternationalJohn HazeltonMost of the story’s credibility goes out the door with the big plot twist. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloA thriller that takes a long time to get even remotely thrilling. |
| The Young FolksJim AlexanderDespite a rather basic premise the film plays out more intriguingly than one might assume. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt’s low-key and modestly budgeted, but perfectly well made, and Watts maintains a cool and steady presence. |
| The MacGuffinBrooke CorsoBy the third act, we have seen so much of so little that the outcome leaves everyone shortchanged. |
| The Straits Times (Singapore)Tay Yek KeakAlas, when you eventually do know the cause of her fears, Shut In loses its supernatural grip on you and becomes predictable. |
| The Times of IndiaRenuka VyavahareYou walk into this film, hoping to feel claustrophobic but walk out trying to shake off boredom. |
