Great Film overall
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
First...most of these other "great" reviews are from people who "happened" to join IMDB 3 weeks ago...and this is the only movie they have reviewed...you can figure that one out...I can say that didn't just join because out of all the movies they have seen, they had to leave a review on this one...check out the profiles of the other reviewers to see what I mean, there are a few legit ones.52 minutes in and this is soooo boring....so far it's about a couple dealing with a tragedy and how they cope with it...it is NOT scary...it is NOT riveting...I'm out...not worth watching because I was looking for a good thriller and this is faaaaaaaar from that. Maybe another time when I was looking for something slow...today is not that day. Drama...not horror, not riveting...bleh....
While I spent a fair amount of this film under my shirt, I really enjoyed it, and even wanted more after it ended. Rarely do we get such an honest and engrossing exploration of grief, especially in a horror/thriller film. As I said before I'm not too well versed in scary movies but the ones I've liked took advantage of the fantasy elements to do more than just frighten audiences but to analyze and learn from the extreme emotions and events that led to the fantastical story-line. The Unseen did just that. With some very believable performances and visually stunning cinematography I'd give this films two thumbs up.
I heard about this film when it played at Berlinale, where it was renamed to Scared Blind. Much of the movie is shown from the perspective of Gemma (Jasmine Hyde), which is incredibly suspenseful, especially when she experiences blinding panic attacks. Overall, it was much scarier than I expected! If you like psychological thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat, I would recommend watching this movie.
I'd never herd of this Movie but thought I'd give it ago after watching the trailer which piqued my interest. Good solid acting throughout by all performers, good camera work and nice location kept me interested almost to the end. Unfortunately the last 30 minutes let the movie down for me, however I have scored a 6 based on the good acting.
