Unknown Visitor

I put this on not expecting much, but I really did not think I'd laugh so much. Unfortunately this was not meant to be intentionally funny as it was not tagged in the comedy genre.

Trying to take a no budget indie film in a serious genre like horror or thriller is not easy to do and this film is no exception. I could not tell if there was a script or the actors were meant to improvise but the performances and dialogue were laugh out loud hilarious.

I think this film would have benefitted with better casting and properly recorded dialogue using lavs and even a bit of ADR. Less realism is more, cuz we can tell an actual Ring camera was not used.

What I liked the most here was the concept and minimal runtime. It's wonderful to see an indie half the length of typical no budgets that wear out their welcome long before it concludes.

This movie has taken 53 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Im traumatized, not from how scary this movie was, but from the questionable acting. While not scary, this movie did make laugh with how terrible it was. My poor grandma went into cardiac arrest from the boredom this movie inflicted onto her, my poor innocent granny is now bed bound, the only word that she can barely mumble is "unknown". I sit at her bedside everyday, wishing that I had listened to the previous reviews, warning me to go back a choose a different movie before it's too late. Sadly, it's too late for me and my poor granny, but it's not too late for you; please I urge you to turn back now before you end up like my granny, warn others of the utter cringe this movie will inflict on their poor souls.

Not a bad short,but has alot of continuity issues...like the sandwich and water on the table, it takes away from the scenes when it appears and disappears at will...

What a waste of a great subject on such a poorly executed movie. This could have been the next Paranormal Activity, except the writer/director made such irrational choices for the characters, and included such outlandishly stupid circumstances, that the entire movie comes across like a sketch comedy spoof of what could have been a terrifying, very relatable horror movie. My only hope is that another horror movie based around the concept of a doorbell camera is still a possibility despite the existence of this movie. I think it's worthy of another shot by another filmmaker who has the talent to make something good of it.

I found this movie interesting only because of items that kept appearing and disappearing. The entire movie took place on a front porch, and the main item was a sandwich. The sandwich first appeared as two halves on a plate next to a bottle of water. In a following scent it was gone. They shortly after that it appeared again only half was missing. Then it disappeared again only to reappear, this time again as a complete sandwich. There was a similar routine with a bottle of bleach. One scene the bottle was visible. The next scene it was gone, then it would mysteriously reappear again. The main point of the movie wasn't that interesting. In fact, it was stupid. So I had assumed the twist, or the surprise was the reappearing items, in some way or another. Nope. The movie ended and that was that.
