    OK

    Overall, I thought the experience was enjoyable. It had a similar feel to the movie "See For Me", which I found entertaining and engaging. The pacing was good and it kept me interested throughout. There were some great moments that made me laugh, as well as a few touching scenes that left an impression on me afterwards. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience and worth checking out if you're looking for something different from your usual fare!

    I would highly recommend giving this movie a chance if you're looking for something fresh yet familiar in terms of content delivery - there is certainly enough here to keep viewers engaged without feeling overwhelmed or bored at any point during its runtime either!

    A Surprising Delight

    There are tons of movies lately being made / written / starring so called minorities and / or women. I guess it's a backer push for equity. Most of these films are pretty bad, so I went into streaming this with that in mind.

    What a surpise. It's actually pretty decent. Yes, there are plently of holes in the plot and a few poorly rendered characters, and some under par acting here and there, but I have to say: it's nonetheless well made.

    The director keeps the tension tight throughout -- even when a particular scene might be really silly, or unbelieveable.

    I also liked how the two main female characters grow from each other by the end of the film.

    Overall, I say it's worth a watch.

    Wow...

    When I opted to sit down and watch the 2023 thriller "Unseen", I had actually never heard about the movie. But the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough, and the cover definitely was an eye-catcher. So yeah, of course I opted to sit down and watch what director Yoko Okumura had to offer.

    And color me impressed. I wasn't really expecting such an entertaining movie. The storyline in "Unseen", as written by Salvatore Cardoni and Brian Rawlins, was such a refreshing approach to the stalked-in-the-woods type of movie. I really enjoyed the whole aspect of Emily (played by Midori Francis) having poor eyesight and having to rely on the eyes of Sam (played by Jolene Purdy) through video call on a battered mobile phone. It was quite a nice way of adding a very modern element, and a very well-functioning element I might add, to the movie.

    I wasn't familiar with leading actresses Midori Francis and Jolene Purdy, but they really carried the movie quite well with their performances. I definitely was impressed with what I saw on the screen. The movie also has a nice appearance by Missi Pyle, whom was the only familiar face on the cast list for me.

    Visually then director Yoko Okumura makes good use of distorted and blurred lenses to illustrate Emily's vision as she stumbled through the forest, depending on the eyes of Sam on the other end of the video call. "Unseen" is not a movie that uses an abundance of special effects, nor does it need to do so, as "Unseen" is a well-functioning psychological thriller. And it sort of gets under your skin and makes you feel like you're right there in the forest alongside with Emily.

    I was genuinely surprised with the entertainment level from "Unseen", and it is a movie that I warmly recommend you to sit down and watch. I was genuinely and wholeheartedly entertained from beginning to end of this movie from director Yoko Okumura.

    My rating of "Unseen" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.

    Ridiculous like a bad car wreck

    Unseen is absolutely ridiculous. But like a bad car wreck, you cannot stop watching, well some of us anyway. My friend couldn't take it. No spoilers, but all of it was highly improbable, unrealistic, and silly. Good for entertainment while you are folding clothes, brushing the dog or doing anything where your full attention is not required.

    It could become one of those cult classics. But I just would not watch it again. Once for me is enough.

    The movie seemed long and drawn out and I lost interest at times. It is never a good sign when you cannot wait for a movie to end.

    A lot of the usual tropes present, but you can see for yourself.

    Surprisingly good movie

    I watched the film not expecting much, but it was surprisingly good. The two actresses who carried the movie were great. Midori Francis and Jolene Purdy, who I hope to see more of in the future are very talented.

    It was the theme from Cell taken to the next level with a creative twist of one woman (Sam) having to be the eyes for another woman (Emily) escaping from her homicidal ex-boyfriend. In the process the women become empowered, both refusing to be victims and help each other reclaim their lives. Missi Pyle, who is always great, tops it off with some comic relief as the stereotypical rich white lady from hell. You should check it out.
