BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Flow Sadly, not in a good way. It is entirely a drama, maybe, just maybe 2 or 3 horror elements thrown in there so it can cover a wider range of genres, but overall the movie is a flop.If you are heavily into adult movies and horror, you will be disappointed. If you're a horror die fan, you'll be annoyed. And if you just want to watch something for 18 years+, you can do better! It's more of a torture porn production, with a lot of self inflicted wounds and a decent plot, surely enough, but far from being my coup of tea. My personal vote is 4. I won't ruin it for others, but I kinda do fail seeing how this can be appreciated. Cheers!
GomezAddams666 Taken a very wild and alarmingly disrespectful interpretation of Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla" this horrible movie takes a turn for the worst of the worst. Out of all the interpretations this one has gone where no adaptation has gone before, it has stomped and spitted all over the original story.A southern tale of religion, lesbianism, self-cutting, discrimination, cold blood murder, it has NOTHING to do with the Vampire novella it was supposed based upon.But it goes to great lengths to trick you it does, like keeping the names Laura and Carmilla, even the Karstein last name, which apparently to these amateurs is enough to say "based upon"... no, it's not.This waste of tape goes thru so many genres like crime, suspense, horror, romance, semi-vampire story... it jut can't find its place where it wants to belong.It doesn't have any suspense at all, all the plot twists are obvious from the first minute, it was filmed, written and produced by amateurs and provocateurs that think audiences are so stupid to praise a movie just because it has an explicit sexual scene, they might have thought that raising the bar on the nudity would make people forget the garbage they just watched... well, it did not.The plot is all over, the characters are badly written, horribly acted, the story doesn't even resemble "Carmilla" at all. One thing is to make a modern adaptation of the source material and another very different thing is to insult it and spit all over it.As if the filmmakers have sat down and said "What is the worst possible insult we deliver to Carmilla and the fans of the novel?" And they came up with such an abomination.This "movie" has no redeeming qualities, waste of time, waste of tape.Please do not watch this filth, friends don't let friends watch "The Unwanted"
veinglory I started watching this movie on Netflix without having any idea what I was about, and I suspect that is the best way to watch it. Then the vampire twist part way through, while somewhat foreshadowed, is still rather surprising and pleasantly shocking.Hannah Fierman is the stand out performer as Laura, the young woman fascinated by the drifter Carmilla (Kristen Orr in an understated performance). William Kat is the least convincing, chewing the scenery as Laura's semi-psychotic father.The movie works in its own right as a modern Gothic, ad is also a retelling (rather loosely) of Carmilla that vampire aficionados will appreciate. The movie starts rather slow but the narrative and cinematography built towards an evocative and visually compelling ending.
wilson trivino Inspired by the Joseph Seridan LeFanu's famed Gothic novella, The Unwanted is a suspense filled thriller. A young woman, Carmilla (Christen Orr) comes to a rural town seeking the truth about her mother. She crosses paths with an emotionally unstable young woman Laura (Hannah Fierman) who serves as the key to the mystery of her pursuits. Unfortunately an overprotective father Keith (Robert Hatch) creates a barrier to the truth. This movie has many twists and turns and keeps you on your seat as the action unfolds. As the movie pierces the surface, it stirs up some unforeseen tensions. Lynn Talley plays a believable vulnerable torn woman in Karen and even though local Atlanta actress Kylie Brown shares few lines as Millarca Karnstein ( the lost mother) the emotion is raw and real. I saw this movie as part of the Atlanta Film Festival and enjoyed seeing many local Atlanta landmarks. This movie keeps you going as you discover what happen to mommy dearest.
