When Theresa Chaney (Nicole Fancher, Unchained Love),a socially awkward woman, emerges from a time travel experiment, she soon learns that she is shifting through the timestream out of control. She tries to keep this malady a secret, but as she keeps shifting more and more, she has less control. Even worse, even her entire existence begins to unravel.

Shifter is written and directed by Jacob Leighton Burns, who has dreamed of making films since the third grade.

While this film does not have a huge budget, it does have plenty of ideas, as well as a non-heterosexual romance at its core without coming off like that was an idea just to get press. It all feels very natural, as natural as a movie about a woman dealing with grief misusing the ability to travel through time can be.

The final shots of this film are harrowing and bleak. It's rare to be able to generate that type of emotion and this movie pulls that off with aplomb.

Experience, and what made them never reaching the most horrifying goal of making a real horror movie is for me an open question to ask. it has nothing to do with the acting, because nicole and cast do a good job, was it the money.

it a kind of ''the fly'' conceptual movie, where the main has built a machine that can make you shift in time and place, a timeshifter you can say, but thats it. it does shift again and again, but the the sum of the shifting is not as deteriorating as you may wich from the genre.

its also a story about mental health, pretty introvert i may say, and there are a lot of uncharted sexuality, sadness, locked- outishness, extreme loneliness and an extreme case of multifobia.

there are really no good ending to this edition, i guess it will develope into a sequel hopefully more horrifying than this was. its playtime at about 90 minutes felt very slow thinks the grumpy old man. if scify-timetraveling nerd, have a look, just a small recommend from the grumpy ,still searching for the fountain of youth,old man

This film seems to be getting some fairly brutal reviews, but I think it might be because this is an especially difficult film to review as and entire package because there are so many conflicting layers to it. Conceptually, you have an incredibly unique and inventive cautionary tale about time manipulation, but the narrative is repeatedly dragged down by too many bland, poorly conceived, and unrealistic characters, given to actors who can't make the poor dialogue and awkward scenes work very well. Then you have really solid visual and sound editing, with some very passable ultra low-budget special effects to keep the story going. Despite all the failings of this film, it's important to consider the budget they had to work with, and time of production; which was seemingly none in both cases.

For fans of unique scifi, especially inventive takes on time travel, I highly recommend giving this film a shot for it's overall concepts and production, but keep your expectations on performances and dialogue especially low to make your trudge through the film much easier.
