Unseen Evil

i gave it two star because i actually couldn t wait to see what bad acting would come next. or what corny effects would come next.

The acting was brutal and the plot so unbelievable I think the actors couldn t wait to finish shooting this movie and it showed on screen

Richard Hatch seemed out of place in the woods as opposed to his rocket ships anyway.

The props were poor and i have made better cg effects on my old 486

It makes you wonder what the people were thinking the whole time they made this film. Maybe this will be a future cult film ....who knows,

The ending brought you to your knees as well because you couldn't get up to actually watch the credits.

If this movie had a large budget, it would just be another silly horror movie with a bad script and bad directing. It is not a big money movie, however, and the results are tragically tacky.

I could not hope to encompass all of the bad things about this movie in a comment as short as this one, and I would not want to - the movie is not worth it. Suffice to say that the script is horrible, the directing is worse, the camera work seems to be irrevertibly stuck in the early eighties and the "special effects" (which are repeated ad infinitum, ad nauseam) are so bad they would shame those of early Star Trek - if those had been created today!

The greatest horror of the whole thing, however, is trying to set yourself in the role of the actors, who do a fantastical job, despite everything else, as they labour to make something believable out of this utter crap of a movie. Sadly, the actors, despite their efforts, can hardly make their characters, badly written as they are, come to any life beyond pulp magazine stereotypes.

This movie is not even worth watching as the joke I hope it is.

Okay, I simply had to see this since I saw it's "sequel" first (about two years ago), UNSEEN EVIL 2 (aka ALIEN 3000), and I immensely enjoyed it because it was truly one of the worst movies I had seen in a very long time. From it, I also learned that Tim Thomerson apparently starred in the "original". All this was reason enough for me to sit my a§§ down with this "original" epic tale of Alien Terror & Indian Mysticism.

So how did it go down this time? On a bad movie-scale, this "original" is about twice less fun than the "sequel". Does that actually make it a better movie...? I have absolutely no idea...

It's not even fun writing a user-comment for it (while the sequel was). We got annoying people running around in some woods, being chased and ripped to shreds by crappy CGI (make no mistake; it's not as fun as it sounds). But if that's your thing, then sure, go ahead and watch it. I'll always be willing to give retarded rubbish like this a peek, but I can only take so much of it.

I'll be generous and give it one point for what happens to Tim Thomerson. Didn't see that one coming. I guess the producers realized they were spending too much money hiring him, so they just decided on the spot to write him out of the script.

By the way, if you happen to love UNSEEN EVIL, then go watch DEMONICUS (2001). You'll have a blast. It's even from the same director (Jay Woelfel) and its more or less the same movie, only this time with a possessed idiot running around in a plastic Roman-times inspired body-armour, slashing people in the woods. Have fun.

I don't think there is any kind of constructive criticism I could offer to a movie who's star actor is Tim Thomerson (not that I don't like him, I'm fond of his rather over-looked talents.) Everyone else has pretty much covered what a waste of a movie this is, I'll just have to add that save for Tim Thomerson, the acting is downright horrible!!! Not to mention a weak plot, undeveloped characters and just plain bad production. I think the 10 min. beginning sequence and eye-sore CGI effects sucked up most of this movie's budget and that left the production of this movie to be slapped together with whoever and whatever they could find.

It's sad when rabid horror-movie fans give up on a movie and hope for sex on screen to save it. Potential as MST3K fodder is the best light this movie will ever see...... 1/2

P.S. However did this movie even get the rating is has?!!! 18% voted a 10 as of this date?!! May all who positively view this movie disintegrate under the laws of artistic ability!!!!!!!

This is a very surprisingly enjoyable film for a low-budget horror movie. It stars Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica) as the leader of a young archeological team who travels deep into the woods to search some caves for artifacts. Unknown to them, an ancient evil is awakening , guarding the secrets of the burial site. Betrayal also threatens to destroy them from inside the group. I bought this movie on DVD, and was totally hooked after the first ten minutes. The director Jay Woelfel has definitely improved since his last film, Iron Thunder, also starring Hatch. The best way to describe Unseen Evil is to say that it's The Blair Witch Project meets Predator. It has some very suspenseful and entertaining moments, and some pretty good performances. It is a very decent horror movie, and one that I recommend to horror fans, and fans of Richard Hatch. The special effects aren't on the level of say, Star Wars, but are enjoyable. My advice, give it a chance.
