It has already bought and distributed the Bonfire Legend-produced “Run Hide Fight” and produced a handful of comedy specials by Adam Carolla under the umbrella of “Truth Yeller,” but this is its first “Daily Wire Original” feature film. This is part of The Daily Wire’s overall push to diversify its platform from the political commentary that has made it a $100 million company. “Shut In” is produced in collaboration with Dallas Sonnier’s Bonfire Legend production company. You could say the context of the film is more important than the film itself. Hollywood has known this forever and wielded the power of story like a weapon. Stories express values, and values shape culture. “This film is going to be the first step in producing content that you are going to love,” said Ben Shapiro, editor emeritus of The Daily Wire and host of “The Ben Shapiro Show.” “It reflects your values rather than the values of Hollywood. “Shut In” is a solid home invasion horror film that seamlessly integrates faith with its claustrophobic thrills - and “solid” is exactly the bar it needed to clear to be a potential game changer for entertainment produced by religious conservatives for religious conservatives.Ĭonservatives - religious and otherwise - have long railed against a perceived anti-conservative and anti-religious bias in mainstream entertainment. Shut yourself out.(REVIEW) In a push to create a conservative alternative to Hollywood, the conservative news outlet The Daily Wire produced its first film, premiering Feb. Check this out if you want but there's really nothing to see here. The twist also offers some really weird awkward moments too. There's honestly too much going on in this film, its too busy with people and trying too hard to deliver a substantial story but it comes off really uninspired, tired, and boring. Its half expected but doesn't bother offering any consolation for wasting your time. The film just kind of throws characters into the mix and you are left wondering what purpose they really serve? Poor Jacob Tremblay, going from a wonderful performance in Room, to being thrown into something like this. The film is devoid of any actual chills, the scenes meant to make you jump are set up in a way that is so manufactured over the years, where you know exactly what to expect. Who could it be though? Her son is paralyzed and immobile? The plot doesn't even sound interesting and there really isn't anything in the film that you could actually enjoy. She starts to think that someone is inside her house trying to harm her. This film is about a psychologist, played by Watts, following a car accident that killed her husband and left her son paralyzed (played by Stranger Things' Charlie Heaton). Years later she's in a really awful "horror" film that doesn't offer any thrills or chills but rather just insists on wasting your time. i fact, shes even been in good horror in the past. She's also been in a number of great memorable performances. I thought she was really fantastic in Mulholland Drive (probably my favorite film of all time). I like Naomi Watts a lot but boy does she really need to pick and carefully choose what she wants to be in.
