The Rockville Slayer

Sheriff Duncan (Joe Estervez) sends two of his deputies to investigate the recent rash of murdered teens, while another deputy Charlie, is more interested in his brother who might've been slain by the same murder

If not for the stilted dialog, the disjointed storyline, or the atrocious delivery (the female detective being the worst offender here) and if the three bigger stars got more screen time (Z'dar and especially Linnea are barely much more than cameos) this would've been a pretty watchable film.

Eye Candy: Holly Ilyne Sari gets topless and Linnea Quigley shows T&A briefly, because if she were in any film not showing skin it would be borderline sacrilege at this point.

I saw the premiere of Unaware and I'm not sure if they had the final print ready. That might explain some of the problems. The editing was kind of choppy and the story made very little sense. Too much went unexplained or inferred and it veered unsteadily between a slasher film and a Lifetime weeper-film. There's a killer on the loose and the local townies are too busy talking and practicing self-introspection to do much about it. The action sequences are good and definitely some of the performances are clearly much better than the story deserves. The two girls Nicole Buehrer and Amy Brown gave the best performances. The supposed pros in the cast didn't bring their A-game I don't think. Buehrer is a dark beauty with a bright future and Brown is the gal next door with bucket fulls of talent and a nasty knife in this instance. Might be worth a night's rental to see Linnea Quigley again and it future does seem to be in straight-to-video.

I attended the premiere of Unaware in Chicago, and I must say that I was more than impressed! I went into the theater not expecting much, and wow! This is only the second feature film from Writer, Director Marc Selz who has a lot to bring to the table. He has jumped leaps and bounds from his first film, Short Cut Road. Don't just take it from me, watch them both to fully see the difference. It looks and sounds like a high quality studio film.

Unaware was a smart thriller that kept me and the audience jumping and on the edge of our seats. The story was straight and to the point with a lot of cool twists. This is one movie that you must pay attention to from beginning to end to understand, otherwise you'll miss key elements. Isn't that what the audience is supposed to do anyway?

The movie's running time was an hour and 40 minutes, but felt like an hour. There was always something going on in each scene which kept you intrigued in the story. By the end of the film, I still wanted more. The performances from the actors were great, some were stronger than others, but what do you expect from a low budget film. It was great to see the B actors like Joe Estevez, Robert Z'Dar and Linnea Quigley back on the big screen again, where they need to be. Also look out for the new talent of Circus Szalewski and Nicole Buehrer, they have a promising future. The wacky motel clerk put some humor into the film. The High Definition picture and Dolby mix was fantastic! The flashback sequences were unbelievable and the mental patients were very creepy. This definitely looks like a high end film. I asked all sorts of questions at the end of the movie to get the facts. The music score was great! This movie paid a lot of homage to classic horror/thriller movies from the past. It's great to see that in films again nowadays. I see a bright future ahead for Marc Selz and his team. Can you smell a hit sleeper? I can! All in all, if you like horror/thrillers, this is one film you don't want to miss!

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen and believe me, I've seen a lot of bad movies. The amateur acting was terrible, not to mention the plot was horrific. Half way through the movie, the sound was one second earlier than the rest of the movie so when nobody's mouth was moving, people were talking- and when people were seen talking, nothing was heard. This movie should have never been made. It truly was a waste of time and money. If anyone is considering seeing this movie, don't. You will only be disappointed and wish you hadn't wasted time out of your life to watch it. Then again, if you are an avid fan of low-budget, poorly written/produced/directed/acted movies, then check it out!

First, let me just say the movie looks great. The DP knew exactly what he was doing when he shot this film because it looks very professional. However, he may have been the only guy on the crew who knew his job.

Yes, the acting is bad. So is the direction and the plot. But, my biggest gripe is with the post-production team. Specifically, the sound...

I have a question for whomever was in charge of post.....was this movie ever even sound mixed? The mix is unbelievably awful from a technical standpoint. Some of the dialog is so quiet, I couldn't hear it unless I turn my TV nearly all the way up. Then, I'd almost immediately get sprung from my chair because some sound effect would slam in at what seemed to be 90 decibels. Of course, there I am flying to the remote control to drop the volume back to a human level. Hey guys, next time, mix your friggin' movie. This "mix" is so bad, I wouldn't even insult amateurs by calling it amateurish. Plus, as the other poster noted, the sound jumped out of sync with the picture for like 5-10 minutes near the end. What's the story with that? To be fair, I don't want to put ALL the blame on the filmmakers/post-production crew. Freestyle Home Entertainment (whoever they are) NEVER should've released a film this poorly mixed. I mean, it's just flat-out unfinished. What were they thinking?
