The Unseen

This is a terribly bad movie but as you can see, there are many very good reviews. Unfortunately, they are all fake. Most likely they are created by the crew or other people connected to this project. Use your own judgement and do not trust these stupid reviews. At best this movie deserves 2 stars.

The Unseen is quite literally the worst movie I've ever seen. I was excited to watch since RJ Mitte is the star, but was immediately let down. RJ did the best he could with the horrible script he was given. Other than RJ and Candice Rose, the acting was atrocious. The writer also claims this movie was edited by the same person that edited Donnie Darko, but his name is no where to be found in the credits. Instead of wasting your time watching this film, I suggest watching Fish Jelly Film Reviews video on YouTube! It's only 26 minutes long and explains the whole film! It's extremely accurate unlike some of the reviews on here.

So, I got this one, purely for the poster and the title. But right away I realized this was a low budget, no production value kinda movie. Don't get me wrong, the acting is good to middling, the story is ... half good, the direction is shoddy. In general, this movies exumes low production values, but there is some budget, the exterior scenes e.g. In the restaurant and the class room are pretty okay.

It took some time to get used to an actor with a speech impediment, but once you do, you see that he is the best actor of them all. A lot feels 2nd rate, like the protagonists sisters, they weren't exactly "aesthetically pleasing", but the acting was okay. Except for the Dad, who does a lot of Incoherent yelling and screaming, everyone acting is within parameters.

It's a weird movie and the story feels plot-holish. What is weird is why the ghost would wait this long to do it's business??? Why not do what you wanna do anyways???

4 oth 10 The Melancholic Alcoholic.

While the idea behind this low budget horror-thriller certainly is intriguing.

The execution is really quite bad.

As the acting- including from Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte- is particularly dreadful.

With a poorly constructed plot.

And writing that is mediocre at best.

The whole thing comes off as a film school project.

Which is a shame.

Because, given a bigger budget, and some more seasoned direction...it could have had potential.

The main problem I had with it all...is the dubious psychology around which the entire story is based.

It's never fully explained.

While the paranormal aspect of it is incredibly confusing.

On top of this, the sequences flashing back to highschool either needed to be redone...or scrapped altogether.

Because they just don't work.

It's just not believable watching these mid 30's actors pawn themselves off as teenagers.

With the act Mitte's character has repressed making literally no sense whatsoever.

Which kind of ruins everything.

Because, while they do adequately explain it via several twists.

The fact he wouldn't have gone to the police about it just isn't plausible.

So, using it as the crux of the storyline was an incredibly poor decision, in my opinion.

As it squanders what little the film had going for it.

Which wasn't much to begin with.

You can tell they thought they were being clever with the multi-twist ending.

But it's hard not be upset by it's fatal flaw.

Because it was totally possible to rework the entire plot, around the ending, so as to completely avoid these complications.

Making it all feel a bit lazy...or, at the very least, forced.

Because...while you might not see the ending coming.

It's just not a rewarding experience.

And felt like they drew the conclusion out a bit long for what it was.

When they could have ended on a high note.

But it is what it is.

3 out of 10.

What an absolute load of tosh. Wasted 1 hour and 45mins of my life. I have no other purpose in life but to buy this dvd just to ooooff it over the neighbours fence. I have given 1 star for one reason.. and one reason only. I particularly enjoyed the scene where the main character (mitti) can't remember his name... power walks past a lady who is holding 1000 pieces of paper. She twists and throws the paper in the air like a ballerina at a wedding whilst letting out a high pitched scream 10 minutes after he walks past her. Safe to say I'm more than disappointed with this film which il never be able to unsee......
