Plot:
Curtis LaForche lives in a small town in Ohio with his wife, Samantha, and daughter, Hannah, a six-year-old deaf girl. When Curtis begins to have terrifying dreams, he keeps the visions to himself, channeling his anxiety into obsessively building a storm shelter in his backyard. His seemingly inexplicable behavior concerns and confounds those closest to him, but the resulting strain on his marriage and tension within his community can’t compare with Curtis’s privately held fear of what his dreams may truly signify.
And here's a little review from Geek Tyrant:
Shannon intensely explodes on screen in this film, giving an Academy Award winning performance. This movie sealed Shannon’s place as one of my favorite actors working in Hollywood today, joining the ranks of Daniel Day Lewis, Edward Norton, and Tom Hanks. Shannon is simply incredible, and I really hope to see him get more leading role offers after this film. He gives such an extraordinarily intense performance.
I loved the intensity of this movie. You have no idea what is really going on, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat, and it always keeps you guessing. This all leads up to one of the best and most satisfying endings in a film that I’ve seen in a very long time.
I absolutely loved this movie. I honestly couldn’t ask for anything better. It was a pitch-perfect film, and it is one that you have to see when it gets a theatrical release. I’d like to see this one go all the way to the Academy Awards next year, just like last year's Sundance hit Winter’s Bone did. Take Shelter is a movie masterpiece.
