The Shed (2019) - Some films are good dumb fun, other are just...

What would you do if you have a vampire trapped in the shed at the bottom of your garden?  Now, I can't see what you're thinking, but I'm guessing whatever it is is a million times more sensible than any decision all the characters make in this film.

Hey, I'm happy to suspend my disbelief in order to enjoy the more 'out there' stories like those containing monsters and the supernatural.  But it still has to be believable - adhering to the rules which are applicable to the source material.

Here, we have proof positive that a character is only as clever as the writer who's writing they're dialogue and actions.  Yes, there's a vampire at the bottom of the garden hiding in the shed.  At any point in time this whole story could have just been ended without a single loss of life had any character actually done whichever painfully obvious thing needed to be done at the time.  As it happens we're just treated to one absolutely crazy decision after the next.

And eventually you'll lose patience.  I did.  It got to a point where I'd quite happily line the cast up and feed them to the monster one by one - something to do with 'Darwinism' I think they call.

There are good horror movies that don't rely on wall to wall special effects, gore or an A-list cast. 'The Shed' also has none of these and is yet worse than many other B-list straight to steaming movies.  It really is a case of a story where character motivation just ruins it every time.  Frustratingly bad.
