Maybe it's unfair to label this as British? A good number of the actors are from the UK, but the movie says it was filmed in Germany. Keeping with what seems to be a German theme, virtually every actor has a different accent. Not terribly disorienting, I have always found that annoying. Especially when a brother and sister have two totally different accents (as is the case here). When that happens, you know you're in trouble.
Shut is pretty middle of the road as far as I'm concerned. The story is OK, but just OK. You'll spend the whole movie waiting for some plot twist or a good action sequence and then you'll be sadly disappointed when there isn't one. Or at least I was. But for what it is, a movie made on the cheap, it's...well...let's say it's "acceptable". None of the actors really stand out and the story is pretty lacking, but it's not without it's (slight) charm. Maybe a decent way to kill a rainy Sunday afternoon, but that's really about all the endorsement I'm willing to give it.
