Take Shelter film (2011)

The trailer for Take Shelter gives you goosebumps almost instantly. It's not scary in an afraid of the Slender Man kind of way, but it's scary because of the implications of the vision plagued story. Psychological to the point of becoming a pulsating broken mind in itself, it looks set to be one of the biggest thrillers of 2011.

Subtle special effects and the burgeoning paranoia of Curtis LaForche (Michael Shannon) look set to make Take Shelter genuinely attention grabbing. As he begins to see visions of semi-apocalyptical doom he sets himself and his family on a cause to build a costly storm shelter at the bottom of the garden.

However, the storyline unfolds with a wavering reality as the shadow of paranoid schizophrenia pits itself against prophetic visions for the sum culmination of the film. Set in the heart of American storm country, the film looks set to be a brooding dark cloud from start to end.

Take Shelter is set for release in mid October and will give a prosaic slant on the commonality of fear and the irrationality that it can all too easily stir. Directed and written by Jeff Nichols it's got more than a flash of Oscar nomination potential.
