The Pre-sliced Cheese ‘Among the Shadows’ trailer.

Well this looks fairly awful.

Coming Soon describes the plot of Among the Shadows as follows:

“Kristy Wolfe (Charlotte Beckett) is a Brussels private eye descended from werewolves who must go to work when her uncle Harry Goldtsone is murdered in a politically-motivated attack. Patricia Sherman (Lindsay Lohan), the wife of European Federation President Richard Sherman, hires Wolfe to investigate Goldstone’s killing, as he was her husband’s campaign manager. Wolfe finds bodies falling all over city and must use her innate instincts to unravel the case and stay alive long enough unmask the conspiracy.”

Not to be nit-picky — or delve too deeply in things best left in The Before Time — but there’s no real “President of Europe,” and none of the positions that come closest to that title particularly need a campaign manager. Of course, that point pales in comparison to the one that they couldn’t get Lindsay Lohan to do any foreign accent whatsoever, but now I’m feeling bad about even bringing that up. The woman’s trying, after all. If I think that this is going to be horrible, I can easily just not watch it.

It’s just that it looks like something out of a television show. The stages, and suchlike. It’s kind of distracting.

  1. Ancestral werewolf family names Wolfe? Really? When the character names are so… On the nose, it’s a strong correlation with terrible quality.

  2. Not to be cruel, but judging from the video still before reading, I though that was Kathy Bates.

  3. This is bad videogame voiceover level voice acting here… And the light-up eye effect is so bad.
    I predict multiple Razzies in its future.
