Storyline
After the death of her husband, Dr. Cara Harding's faith in God has been shaken, but not her belief in science. In an attempt to get her more open to accepting unexplainable psychiatric theories, her father introduces her to Adam, a patient with multiple personalities who also takes on some of the physical characteristics of his other personalities. But Cara quickly discovers that his other personalities were murder victims and the more she finds out about Adam and his past, the closer she and her loved ones are to becoming murder victims themselves.
Trivia:
In this movie Julianne Moore plays Cara Harding. In the earlier film The Lost World: Jurassic Park she played a very similarly named Sarah Harding. Both are doctors. See more »

User Review
Engaging story but questionable directing
Rating: 7/10
Based on a previous review here suggesting that fans of The Ring would
like this I went to see Shelter and I think the previous advice needs
more clarification. If you liked The Ring then yes, you'll probably
like this. If however you thought The Ring had pointless cut aways and
sudden close-ups just to try to build tension or make you jump, then
you will be as equally frustrated with this film. Still in the latter
group, I would assume that you loved Ringu and therefore you will
appreciate the story this film is trying to tell despite the occasional
ham-fisted way it goes about presenting it.
Jonathan (male lead) is really quite good, although Julianne comes
across far too much as if she has been cast as Dana Scully. In truth
this whole film would have been more believable if this had of been the
story line for the X Files 2 movie. Knowing that going in will probably
help get past the weird opening 30 minutes where it swings from place
to place until we settle on the story it is wanting to tell. Despite
the plot holes and some questionable decisions by the characters, I did
leave the film feeling pleased and positive about the whole experience.
