The Unspoken
In 1997 the close-knit Anderson family vanished from their home without a trace. No bodies were ever found and no explanation satisfied curiosity. For 17 years the house has remained undisturbed...until now. This eerily expert frightener is further enlivened by terrific performances from ‘Suits’/’Arrow’ star Neal McDonough and SILENT HILL/THE TALL MAN/TIDELAND’s Jodelle Ferland.

You won't be disappointed!
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
If you want spend a good time with your girl/boy-friend watch this movie for fun time. It's a common movie of haunted house, freak characters, bad boys, and move-it-self objects. The plot began typically when a single mother and her son moved on to the creepy house. Then typically the mother hired a baby sister to care her "mute" boy. After that begin strange and rare events who in the develop of the plot has been linked with past stories of the characters and the town. The movie has moments of horror and suspense. Isn't a great plot but it's simple and short movie that gives a surprise ending.
So, I say all the time that you really can't be too snobby when it comes to Horror/Mystery/Thrillers. Your going to see some that are good and some that are bad and this is truly based on each viewer's personal opinion and thresholds on the subject matter. This one was watchable but a bit of a flop. It seemed to be branded as a haunted house film but that isn't what it is. Actually, I'm not really sure that I know what it was about but the thing that had the most impact on my scoring was the very last thing that was implied. It just seemed so lame that all I could say was "REALLY?!"
'The Unspoken' drew me into seeing it, with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing and quite creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws are here present in those films, that to me was very weak, its worst elements being pretty awful, with a lot more wrong than right. 'The Unspoken' is not great, or good, has a fair share of problems (fairly big ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There are however a few decent, even good, qualities in 'The Unspoken'.Lets start with the positives. The scenery is atmospheric, likewise with the decent way it's shot. The music is suitably spooky and quirky and doesn't distract at all from the atmosphere, while not exactly enhancing it. Found too that the last third redeemed things, picking up in pace and even offerings some effective spooks (though this all came too little too late) after the rest of the film being so dull. However, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary it got. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their irritating and illogical decision making and behaviours insult the intelligence. Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. The acting is also terrible, with a lot of sleepwalking and histrionics. The effects are ropy at best.Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace is uneven, dragging in a lot of the second half and never is it exciting. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness and the lack of tension and suspense. A lot of the film fails to make sense, both in underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations. There is very little threat here and what there is of it is used poorly. The first two thirds badly sags in momentum and the atmosphere completely falls flat, before the last third until the too pat climax redeems things.In conclusion, very weak but not unwatchable. 3/10 Bethany Cox
I have never posted a review of a movie before. I do not know why people are knocking this movie. I thought it was fantastic. I am a horror, suspense and thriller lover. This movie held my attention from start to finish. I was literally a bit frighten as to what was happening. I can't count how many times I jumped. I rated it a 9 instead of a 10 because of the unfolding of the ending. Check it out for your self.
