With the AFM only a week away, Bloody Disgusting has scored your first ever hi-res look at John Penney's Shadows, which feature Saw star Cary Elwes, along with some other interesting stills. Ploy Jindachote and Paula Taylor also star. Immediately upon arriving in Bangkok, American Jeff (Cary Elwes), his Thai wife SUA (Paula Taylor) and their son Kyle are hit by a truck while driving to visit Sua's father....
Six weeks later Jeff regains consciousness in hospital. He's horrified to learn he is the only survivor and is unsettled by his own lack of grief. Even more unsettling, Jeff begins seeing ghosts, all of whom appear to have died terribly, and he confides in his nurse CHOI (Ploy Jindachote).
Choi takes Jeff to spiritual adviser MAE who explains that his family's souls, having died prematurely and violently, are trapped in the Shadow World and are doomed to relive their moment of death. Only one man knows how to help them, WARREN, an American expat soul surfer.
From Warren, Jeff learns that his own soul is trapped inside the fatal wreck along his wife and child. His soul has never left his family and this is the reason he is unable to feel grief. The only way for Jeff to help his family cross over from the Shadow World to a place of rest is for him to enter it and release his family himself.
Getting in is hard enough, but getting out can be impossible.
Carey Elwes is one of those actors that is so strange to me. He can be really good in a bunch of films, I mean really good. Then he can turn around and do some movies, and you swear the guy has never acted a day in his life.
doesnt sound bad...i like carey elwes not just in saw, but from robinhood men in tights and also the crush. id check this out...it aint a freakin unnessesary remake
At least the twist that he's died (or his soul has left him) isn't saved for the end. Still sounds like boring poop.
Also, Irish Mic, I think Elwes struggles when he's asked to do an American accent (like in Saw or The Crush).
