Preview: Take Shelter (2011)

Synopsis:

Plagued by visions of a deadly storm approaching, a father and husband must battle his own heritage and build the storm shelter he knows will keep his family safe even if no one around him believes in what he's seen.

• Poster: C

Review:

The bird swarm image is less compelling than other images I've seen from the film with the pending tornado in the background.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

The trailer goes on longer than it needs to, but does present a handful of interesting and stark imagery that should draw an audience of curiosity seekers.

Oscar Prospects:

Michael Shannon could end up with an Oscar nomination for this performance, but the film may be a bit too daunting for an expanded push.

Release Date:

• September 30, 2011
