Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Darktragedy First...most of these other "great" reviews are from people who "happened" to join IMDB 3 weeks ago...and this is the only movie they have reviewed...you can figure that one out...I can say that didn't just join because out of all the movies they have seen, they had to leave a review on this one...check out the profiles of the other reviewers to see what I mean, there are a few legit ones.52 minutes in and this is soooo boring....so far it's about a couple dealing with a tragedy and how they cope with it...it is NOT scary...it is NOT riveting...I'm out...not worth watching because I was looking for a good thriller and this is faaaaaaaar from that. Maybe another time when I was looking for something slow...today is not that day. Drama...not horror, not riveting...bleh....
gbrostow We were struggling to think of the last "serious" film we'd seen, when The Unseen came up. It seems like an emotional drama at first, but builds momentum and earns its psych-thriller badge for sure. For those who saw Malice with Alec Baldwin / Kidman / Pullman, this is modern and quite different, but made me feel similar ups / downs and overall enjoyment. Also nice to have a female protagonist.
jalredspencer While I spent a fair amount of this film under my shirt, I really enjoyed it, and even wanted more after it ended. Rarely do we get such an honest and engrossing exploration of grief, especially in a horror/thriller film. As I said before I'm not too well versed in scary movies but the ones I've liked took advantage of the fantasy elements to do more than just frighten audiences but to analyze and learn from the extreme emotions and events that led to the fantastical story-line. The Unseen did just that. With some very believable performances and visually stunning cinematography I'd give this films two thumbs up.
lukehpalmer I went with my family to the cinema in London and it scared the pants out of us all. Much grading onto each others arms and legs up off the floor! Good film!!
