There is some good stuff as we go deeper into the movie that shows struggles with addiction shows her struggle with addiction and how some people get help from having faith.
#Reviews of shut in crack
There is a bag of crack involved that can tempt or trap more than one party. Changing his diaper, feeding him this apple butter stuff from the pantry that Jessica slides under the door, and even fixes him a bottle.Įventually Sammy comes back, and he’s a threat to both Jessica and the kids.
#Reviews of shut in how to
She was at the kitchen table, watching her dad throw her mom in the pantry, then walks over and asks her mom why she’s back in the pantry.Īt other times she’s smart enough to know how to take care of her baby brother. Lainey is annoying, like kids in movies tend to be. Jessica has Lainey help with what little she can, including taking care of her baby brother. She screams and cries and Jessica runs over and lets her out?Īnyway, the rest of Shut In takes place within the pantry. Maybe have Lainey go in and have it lock behind her. You could have shown that the door locks automatically some other way. The whole brick thing is just too stupid and adds nothing. This should have been the first time she was locked in the pantry. It’s not too clear on any of the thinking here, but he’s high on crack, so I’ll give it a pass. I mean she did try getting her daughter to unlock the door before, so maybe Rob wanted to prevent that. Not too sure why, seeing the door is locked.

This causes them to argue and Rob throws her back into the pantry, locking her in. Jessica and Rob talk and she seems willing to let him stay in the kids’ life if he cleans himself up. It’s suggested that Sammy is a pedophile and Jessica isn’t comfortable having him around the kids. He brings his crack addict friend Sammy (Vincent Gallo) along with him. Who knows? The house is obviously old.Įventually Jessica’s ex shows up and lets her out. It also seems unlikely for a pantry door to be able to lock from the outside, but not be unlocked from inside. Movies have to have loopholes and defy common sense. So why doesn’t she place the brick on its end instead of its side so it will be able to hold the door open? Shut In makes it clear, this isn’t the first time this has happened to her. Eventually though, the door slides over the brick and closes, locking her inside. Just enough to cause friction to keep the door open. The bottom of the door touches the top of the brick. She places a brick on the floor, on it’s side to keep the door open. You could probably drive a semi under it. There’s a comically large gap under the door. Apparently there’s no work to be found and she seems to want to get as far away as possible and start a new life.ĭuring this time, Jessica starts cleaning out the walk-in pantry in the kitchen. Her mother has recently passed away and she’s working to clean the place up and packing up what little she owned. Her and the kids are staying in a dilapidated, secluded house that used to belong to Jessica’s mother.

She was the same before going straight with the help of rehab. She’s separated from their father, Rob (Jake Horowitz), who is a crack addict.

Jessica (Rainey Qualley) is a mother of two, her toddler daughter Lainey (Luciana VanDette) and her infant son. They didn’t want to spell it all out for the audience and I respect that, but maybe more foundation could have been laid down to help support some actions. The characters are good, they have depth to them. You will see what I mean if you watch it. I can’t help keep in mind that the entire movie hinges on the placement of a brick. Unfortunately, the story here isn’t the strongest. Then again, Hollywood keeps lowering the bar with each passing year.Īs I’ve said before, a common requirement for any movie to succeed is either a strong story or strong characters at the very least. So far they are not doing a bad job showing intent. Their strategy is to become a major entertainment streaming service, like Netflix or Disney+. Shut In is the first original movie from Daily Wire, the second when counting Run Hide Fight, which they didn’t produce, but purchased.
