A time travel experiment goes wrong in "Shifter"

Personally, I love time travel stories. Them, together with the space-exploring tales, are my favorite science-fiction subjects, and every time I hear of a movie based on these terms I automatically add it in my watchlist. And Shifter (2020) seems to cover the purpose, so there it goes.

Honestly, I don’t know much about the movie since I haven’t had the chance to watch it yet. The official plot is quite loose and it doesn’t say much about what it is the story fully about, but, in the end, we don’t know all the surprises revealed before even starting the screening, right? Especially in a movie that claims to have its strength in surprise twists.

A young woman experiences painful and gruesome side effects after an experiment with time travel goes wrong.

Jacob Burns is the director of Shifter (2020), from a script he has also written himself from a story he conceived together with his frequent collaborator Zach Burns. This is his second fiction feature film as a writer and director after the horror and science-fiction Electric Nostalgia (2016), his participation in the anthology film Mono (2017), and a long collection of short films and documentaries.

Shifter (2020) is starred by Nicole Fancher, Ashley Mandanas, Jamie Brewster, Leesa Neidel, Stephen Goodman, Paul T. Taylor, Ben Hall, and Jacob Ryan Snovel. The movie had its premiere on March 6, 2020, at Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival and The Horror Collective owns its worldwide distribution rights.
