Set in World War II, Shadow in the Cloud follows Maude Garrett, a female pilot on a perilous mission to transport classified documents aboard a B-17 Flying Fortress. While trying to prove herself in a male-dominated environment, she encounters hostile crew members who doubt her abilities and dismiss her presence on the plane. Tensions rise as she fends off their condescending remarks while focusing on her mission.
However, Maude quickly realizes that her biggest challenge isn’t the crew’s hostility but something far darker lurking in the shadows. Strange noises and eerie sights emerge from the clouds, and soon, the plane is under siege from an evil, supernatural entity. The crew thinks she’s delusional until they are forced to confront the terrifying reality—a creature is onboard, tearing through the aircraft and threatening their lives.
With chaos unfolding in the sky and the creature growing
stronger, Maude must overcome not only the crew’s doubt but also the deadly
force threatening to bring down the plane. As the tension escalates, Maude’s
mysterious past comes to light, revealing a personal connection to the
documents she's carrying and the nightmarish entity haunting the mission.
Amid the bombings, airstrikes, and aerial combat, Shadow in the Cloud blurs the lines between supernatural horror and war, pushing Maude to her limits as she fights to survive against an unimaginable evil.
While the premise of the movie sounds intriguing, the
executions fall short of its potential. It promised a blend of wartime drama
and supernatural horror, yet delivered absurd elements that were difficult to
overlook. Typically, I can overlook a lot, however the ridiculous moments in
this film were way too much and overshadowed any redeeming qualities it may
have.
Don’t get me wrong, there were a few decent moments, but the overall experience left me regretting watching this movie. Thankfully the run time is short, so the suffering was minimal. If you decide to watch this, watch at your own risk. While Shadow in the Cloud has moments of potential, the absurdity of its plot may ruin the experience for most viewers.
