Did you people see the same film I saw?
Best movie ever!
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
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....
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.
I heard about this film during the buzz at Berlinale 2018 & the film is now called 'SCARED BLIND'. The film is an intelligent and riveting psychological horror that captures the emotional heartbreak of grief and loss, pulling at any parent's heartstrings. The director - Gary Sinyor - has successfully created a unique cinematic approach by using distorted and blurry visuals to the blindness, turning the audience blind as well. Riveting, emotional, thriller and a bit scary. A must-watch film!
I'd never herd of this Movie but thought I'd give it ago after watching the trailer which piqued my interest. Good solid acting throughout by all performers, good camera work and nice location kept me interested almost to the end. Unfortunately the last 30 minutes let the movie down for me, however I have scored a 6 based on the good acting.
