Shelter attempts to mine a stressful environment for horror chills. Laura Craig is renovating a country house when her workers discover a strange underground complex swamped with fetid water. Being a horror story, it's only natural to assume evil things live in the water. The secondary fungal infection several people catch is honestly scarier than the actual monster. The build-up is very solid, but as action develops in the third act it can't live up to expectations. Awkward, bad sex scenes show more also spoil the mood. show less

Meh. One of the few books that I will ever say would probably be a decent movie, better than the book. Lion's Gate, get on that!
