Unaware

The "fragile" structure of the UFO... hahaha, the military report didn't fully convey the magnitude of the spacecraft; the "Saucer" was something else... a fantastic film, with incredible production design. The film explodes with breathtaking speed. Oren Peli's participation is very important, leaving an indelible mark with his atmosphere of psychological tension, so characteristic of him, making the work of these young directors stand out. Let's remember that the incredible, the unimaginable, and beyond all logic arrives unannounced on any ordinary, boring day. Highly recommended. Don't take too seriously the opinions of people here who don't break away from their traditional movie-watching schemes. See it!

The most annoying couple in Found Footage history combined with a truly imbecilic plot make this a challenge to sit through....

The barn obsessed 'hero' is such a Putz, you wonder why anyone would want to spend more than 10 minutes in his company (even the 'alien' seems annoyed)

'Unaware" does occasionally have some riveting dialogue:

Joe: I'm going back to the barn

Lisa: no...come back to bed, babe

I was first introduced to this amazing found footage film "UNAWARE" when submitted to the 2011 Indie Horror Film Festival where if won Best Feature & Best Special Effects. When I first started screening the film I was a bit skeptical of the quality, but it is indeed a found footage film so I gave it some time. The first 30 minutes had me convinced it wouldn't amount to much, but then the creepy clues of something so much bigger started to appear. These quick peeks and clues certainly captured my interest and built much suspense along with the couple in the film. I don't want to spoil it, but the pay off is great! In this film you get compassion, you get anger, you get suspense, you get shock, you get scare and you get satisfied!

"One of the best found footage films to ever cross my desk" ~ Willy Adkins / Breaking Fate Entertainment

UNAWARE is another found footage style movie with a sci-fi rather than horror angle. Another reviewer was right on the money when he said that ALIEN ABDUCTION: THE MCPHERSON TAPE which was ten times the film this is; not a perfect film by any means, but one which had plenty of incident and creepy stuff going on throughout to recommend it.

By comparison, UNAWARE is very dull and threadbare. At least half of the running time has nothing going on apart from the dull two protagonists wandering around and chatting. There's supposed to be mystery here, and a sense of pervading horror at something nasty in the garage, but it doesn't really work. It feels instead like the characters are just treading water and waiting for the good stuff, which never arrives anyway (the budget is so cheap that we just see a couple of things in the distance and that's it). Despite being beautifully shot - the camera-work is refreshingly non-shaky and the locations are great - the lack of incident and narrative makes this a very tedious watch.

Truly one of the worst films I've seen in my life . Zero plot, zero thrill. Guy proposes to a girl, yet the night of their engagement, he wants to go investigate an old barn rather than be intimate and possibly have the best of his life. Add to that, the cheesiest effects and worst directing I've ever seen. The story made no sense , yet every step of the way we're supposed to believe this nonsense. But allegedly, the US government keeps alien corpses in retirees barns. And top-secret government documents in filing cabinets in said barn. Plus the lead character isn't ignoramus, and treats his girl terribly. He is a giant manchild invading the privacy of his grandfather. I wish I could get the hour and 20 minutes back of my life that this film took. Fortunately I watched it for free on Netflix otherwise I'd be very ticked off. STOOPID MOVIE, I REPEAT, STUPIDMOVIE
