• Logline: After a tense encounter with a mysterious stranger with otherworldly powers, a man is banished to a tyrannical, parallel Earth where he fights to get back to the woman he loves. 

• Synopsis: In The Shift, a dystopian drama and sci-fi thriller, one man is faced with infinite worlds and impossible choices. When Kevin Garner meets a nefarious adversary known as The Benefactor and refuses his offer of wealth and power, he must escape an alternate totalitarian reality. With survival on the line, Kevin fights to make it back to the world he knows and the woman he loves. 







My Review:

The Shift is a new movie that is mixed with sci-fi feeling and contains some dark elements concerning the evil one satan tempting a modern-day man. It is based on Job and all of the loss and trials he faced. The Benefactor is played by Neal McDonald and he does an excellent job at playing the dark villain type roles. My favorite role he has ever played in was in Arrow. He is just as evil in this film. He promises him power and wealth but Kevin refuses them. He offers Kevin chances to change his present problems but he has to travel through different multiple realities. One of his problems is his struggling marriage and he is afraid of now losing her completely. The Benefactor uses this against him and throw him into different realities and shifts people to different locations. It was very weird and strange at times and it wasn’t your typical Christian film. I liked how they did a new spin on Job and how they were trying to capture a new audience by adding multiverse worlds. I also thought it was interesting to see Kristoffer Polaha in a new style of a role that watchers will get to see. He has appeared in a few Christmas movies and I thought he did great in this new action-packed role. I liked the theme message of this movie and how each of our choices in life can dramatically change the course of our lives.
