The Daily Wire’s first original movie, Shut In, was released on Thursday, and it’s a pretty big deal. It’s one of a very small number of films that are being released outside of mainstream Hollywood. Now, while that may be a cause for concern (see any SyFy channel movie ever), Daily Wire is smart, and they know their audience is looking for films of quality that can compare with the high-budget Hollywood ones without all the projection and politics behind them. Something that doesn’t look or feel cheap with a good storyline and no unnecessary preaching about outside events that don’t fit into the plot.
And Shut In delivers. I went into this movie both very excited and a little nervous, if I’m being honest. A lot of times, movies like this tend to fall under...
