First clip from The Shelter with Michael Pare goes behind the mirror!

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

As you well know by now, John "The Arrow" Fallon's directorial debut THE SHELTER is close to making its world premiere later this month at UK horror fest Film4 Frightfest (with Berge Garabedian aka JoBlo himself and Fallon in attendance), a fact many of us at Arrow in the Head/JoBlo.com are understandably excited about. The rest of the world will hopefully get a peek at the supernatural thriller not long after, but until then we'll have to be content with a first clip from the film.

Said clip takes a good strong look at Michael Pare's character, Thomas, as well as offers a tantalizing clue as to what unnatural forces may be plaguing him. See it below! And The Arrow was recently on the Britflicks podcast to talk about the film; you can listen to that HERE.

If you need a refresher on THE SHELTER's plot:

On a star filled night, widower and homeless man Thomas (Michael Pare) finds shelter for the night when he falls upon a vast two story house with the lights on and an inviting open front door. He strolls on in thinking he just caught a lucky break and for a while, it would appear as though he did. Inside, with nobody in sight, he finds all of the comforts that he used to have. After taking a bath, feasting wholeheartedly on some food and relishing the silliness on the tube, he gets some well-earned shut eye. All is well until a restless Thomas wakes up in a panic and finds a loaded revolver resting on his lap. Baffled, he picks up the weapon, checks the barrel and notes that it is fully loaded. A visceral sense of unease invades him immediately. Something is very wrong and he decides that it is time to leave. Alas he finds out swiftly that the premises won’t let him depart so quickly. The doors are all locked, and the windows puzzlingly cannot be opened or broken. Destiny has brought Thomas to this place. Will he survive the ordeal?

THE SHELTER will screen at FILM4 FRIGHTFEST on Friday August 28 at 8:40PM. Go HERE, click FILM at the bottom then click on THE SHELTER to BUY YOUR TICKETS!
