Los Angeles Fantasia Fest Film Review - "Shadows"
From Darwin Reina (RODARTIN Cinema View) -
"There’s something instantly captivating about Shadows — from the first moment we see Melrose Caverns 1987, the film pulls us straight into its eerie world. Director Sophia Terranova captures the 1980s aesthetic with an honesty and texture that few student films can pull off. The colors, lighting, and tone all work together to create that grainy nostalgia — it feels like something found on an old VHS tape, and that’s part of its charm."
"For a student film, Shadows stands out as a fully formed piece of cinema. It’s ambitious, technically skilled, and emotionally charged. Sophia Terranova and her team from James Madison University prove that vision and creativity matter far more than budget. Shadows is thrilling, scary, and nostalgic all at once — a must-watch for horror lovers and proof that the next generation of filmmakers already knows how to deliver the chills."
