The Unseen

I had never even heard about this 2023 thriller from writer Jennifer A. Goodman and director Vincent Shade prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. However, I will say that the movie's cover definitely was sufficient enough to grab my attention.

However, "The Unseen" turned out to be a rather monotonous, bland and actually rather pointless thriller. Writer Jennifer A. Goodman just failed to concoct anything even remotely thrilling, much less actually interesting or entertaining. Yet, I still managed to sit through all 100 minutes of the movie, hoping that the movie would eventually pick up in pace, or that actor RJ Mitte would be given something more worthwhile in terms of script and character to bring to the screen. That just never happened.

The acting performances in "The Unseen" were adequate, despite the fact that the actors and actresses virtually had nothing to work with from writer Jennifer A. Goodman.

For a thriller then director Vincent Shade swung and missed. The movie was ultimately very bland and devoid of any interesting flavors of any kind. And this is not a movie that I will recommend for thriller fans to rush out and get to watch. Nor is it a movie that I will ever pick up and watch a second time.

Funny how the movie's title actually is a premonition of what will happen to the movie itself.

My rating of "The Unseen" lands on a two out of ten stars. It just simply wasn't worth the 100 minutes.

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.

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.

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......

I had high hopes for this after seeing that RJ Mitte was attached to it. I've always been a fan of his since Breaking Bad and was hoping this film would be something worthwhile. Sadly, I was massively letdown.

The performances were bland and at times forced but bad writing certainly doesn't help. The actors can only salvage so much from this train wreck of a movie. The writing is so boring and atrocious - the writer should take classes on how to better explore plot elements and subtext more effectively. The dad's performance is one note as well as the mom and sister.

The cinematography is student film level, the directing lacks any sense of focus or coherence, and the special effects are laughable.

All in all, just avoid this film if you can. It's not worth paying one penny to watch it.
