‘Voice of Shadows’ is the Perfect Gothic Horror to Start the Halloween Season – Review

GameStop, Inc.

Writer/Director Nicholas Bain delves deep into the theological and paranormal with ‘Voice of Shadows‘ available today on on digital and streaming platforms.

Voice of Shadows‘ masterfully intertwines atmospheric horror with a gripping narrative, delivering a chilling cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll. Directed by Nicholas Bain, the film is a testament to his meticulous approach to storytelling, focusing more on the structural integrity of the narrative than just the screenplay itself. This dedication to story architecture allows the film to build suspense in a way that feels both fresh and haunting.

Guillermo Blanco anchors the film with his portrayal of Gabriel, a devout Catholic grappling with a supernatural force threatening his family’s safety. His performance is both compelling and empathetic, drawing viewers into his world of escalating dread. The supporting cast also delivers standout performances. Majo Vargas as Celeste brings an eerie innocence to her role, while Jane Hammill’s portrayal of Milda is nothing short of terrifying. Hammill captures the sinister undertones of her character with chilling precision, adding an extra layer of unease to the film’s atmosphere.

Bee Vang also shines as Father James, bringing a nuanced depth to the role. His performance is integral in unraveling the mystery surrounding Milda’s estate and its dark secrets, contributing to the film’s suspenseful build-up.

Voice of Shadows‘s visual effects, crafted by Sardar Jaf during his off-hours from projects like ‘Dungeons and Dragons‘ and ‘Kraven the Hunter‘, are impressively unsettling. Jaf’s ability to create effective supernatural visuals on a tight schedule speaks volumes about his talent and dedication. His work enhances the film’s eerie atmosphere, making the horror elements both believable and horrifying.

The soundtrack for ‘Voice of Shadows‘, was inspired by a wind chime at the filming location, perfectly complements the film’s chilling tone. This subtle, melodic motif adds to the overall sense of unease, creating an aural backdrop that is both haunting and memorable.

Nicholas Bain’s inspiration for ‘Voice of Shadows‘—a story about lost souls calling a disconnected landline—translates into a gripping narrative that explores themes of faith, identity, and the supernatural. The film’s setting, originally intended to be in Colombia, was shifted to the atmospheric James A Thompson House in Lanesboro, Minnesota, and the historic St. Louis King of France Church in St. Paul. These locations contribute to the film’s authentic and unsettling ambiance.

Despite a COVID-19 outbreak halting production in its final days, the film was completed in Los Angeles, and the final product is a testament to the team’s resilience and creative vision.
