Take Shelter (2:00) 2011

Curtis is happily married with a young daughter, Hannah. Hannah is hearing impaired and is learning ASL along with her loving parents. Curtis works hard drilling for an excavation company. One night, Curtis has a vivid nightmare about an terrible storm and his beloved dog attacking him. Soon he begins to have night terrors on a daily basis. Curtis also starts hearing thunder, sees lightning and feeling an oily rain. At times he is the only witness to these weather events. Curtis doesn't share his disturbing dreams with his wife because he secretly fears the dreams may be the onset of schizophrenia, an illness that his mother was diagnosed with in her early thirties. This was an excellent thriller, taut and engaging. As the movie unfolds, the viewer continues to move between thinking Curtis is starting to unravel and Curtis has the ability to sense a forboding event. Take Shelter reminded me of a Hithcock movie, as it unsettling throughout. Take shelter at your local arts cinema and see it!
