The Unraveling

I was expecting guys in masks doing some scary killer stuff but what I got was some guy off his nut tripping out the entire film.

Funny having woken up in rooms similar to the one in the opening, I felt a strange sense of familiarity with it.

+1 Star for the somewhat bizarre opening........

Haha, lying ahole would have been discarded if he hadn't shown up at home after his all nighter with an envelope full of cash......

And then the woodland bachelor party begins......

And bad things begin to happen.....

And then....

-1 Star for the Reveal....wow that was dumb.....

-2 Stars for the Ending...Wow that was really dumb!!!!!

3/10

Well just finished ⌚ watching the horror movie 🎦 called the Unravelling and I thought what A well made little flick never. Mind what the other reviewers said. I found it quite entertaining and love 😍 and have many horror films myself

"The Unraveling" is a genuine and tense horror/thriller without being overly graphic and violent. The film really had a unique premise and backstory. I loved the setup for the main character and I could not stop watching because it really did take me by surprise and went places that I have not seen in a movie before.

Zack Gold is excellent as the drug-addicted Michael, a junkie unable to quit his addiction despite the adoration of Jess (Cooper Harris), the stomach caressing girlfriend who has little to do except pout smugly for the duration. Her role is to be blissfully pregnant, and that's it: perhaps a waste of Harris's talents.

Michael and his daft friends embark on what appears to be a very unwise caper - jeopardising his job and travelling to an isolated forest to get drunk and argue.

I think what impresses me most about 'The Unraveling' is the acting - everyone plays their part well. The location is also very effective and well photographed. As for the story, well, ultimately it seems less than the sum of its parts and doesn't really succeed as a horror, despite a few lightly creepy moments. As a means of kicking an addiction, it doesn't survive any scrutiny, but it is an interesting premise. My score is 6 out of 10.
