Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

weirdweld I am writing this because I was reminded of the film when asked by a meme sharer on Facebook what is the worst movie you've ever seen? I'm guessing that sums it up really, thanks Netflix Maybe not the worst ever but it popped into my mind, unwelcomed from around a year ago & I can't beat it for now. Does this review contain spoilers? Fairly sure there is nothing to make the experience worse so no. If you like low budget " arty" shots you'd still be better off navigating instagram randomly. Obviously this is my opinion but it seems others share it so view at your own risk.

Eris Chaos I had such high hopes for this film.Potentially something fresh and stand out amidst the mediocre horror on offer on netflix. The idea of a supernatural thriller set against a back drop of impending nuclear war.I honestly had no idea there was a nuclear war going on but for cursory worried mutterings and snatches of television and radio doomsaying. Soon the hope of seeing something fresh and exciting was dashed when an all too familiar line up of stock characters and clichés appeared in the middle aged psychic, cooky professor, empathetic female lead and to be honest boring and watered down male lead. As the film reached its climax, the inevitable nuclear war, I was hoping for a twist that would have validated the 1hr 30 mins i'd wasted on this film but no. Just bland SFX and no real explanation. Don't bother with this one.

derekjager It can be tough to make a scary movie these days. There are so many that it's easy to believe you've been there/done that. What counts is the characters, THEN the story.That's why I love THE UNFOLDING. Well-drawn characters with a terrific premise of the world at war while people try to deal with what's going on in a haunted house.It's found footage but not jerky and the scares are real and "earned" so stick with it to the really amazing ending. This is one film that can stand near THE HAUNTING, THE INNOCENTS and THE CHANGLING!

edbarton-911-820784 This is intelligent British low budget at its best. The slightly awkward nature of its clearly shoestring production is itself creepy in a way that adds to the effect that it is really quite chilling, and ultimately it felt strangely moving. Like every horror that has ever worked, it leaves you with the awkward, speechless, throat lump feeling that you have just witnessed something that you shouldn't have, followed with the cognitive disorientation of having to disassociate the experience from the re-emerging reality of your pitch black living room. It seems slow to begin but escalates uncomfortably, like a trip that you wish you hadn't taken, until it is the one leading you, out of control to a chaotic and relentless end, a free fall into oblivion. The acting for the most part works for the found footage style, although Lisa Kerr who plays Rose, the girlfriend brought unwittingly into the central focus of her boyfriend's post-grad spook research, has a nervous spiky energy that sets her apart early for what is to become her particular disquieting journey and draws the rest of the cast along with her almost inconsequentially, until being magnificently upstaged by Kitty McGeever, quite befittingly in her wonderful final performance.
