“In The Shadows” (*1/2 out of four) was a slapdash horror thriller about a young boy (Brooks Roseberry) who is sentenced to a mental institution after violently stabbing his mother to death; 35 years later, he escapes with bloodthirsty revenge on his mind while a series of cops (Michael Pare, Jennifer Banko, and others) and a doctor (Richard Romanus) attempt to apprehend him. Needless rip-off of “Halloween” with some shades of “Friday The 13th” thrown in. Pare ambles his way through his umpteenth role as a cop and one-time horror child icon Banko is wasted as his partner.
