Shadows of the Dead is a rather longwinded lesson in appreciating your life, because it can be taken away so quickly. I do appreciate the moral, just not the execution.
A valuable lesson, but the movie lacked enough to make it interesting. The movie is very slow, and every scene seems to be leading to a inevitable conclusion, one we know from very near the beginning, so perhaps the film could have had a little more meat on the bone, while still getting across a solid message.
Overall I give the movie a 4 because although the atmosphere and intention was good, it wasn't a joy to watch in any respect.
