Movie Reviews of The Unseen
Movie Review: The Unseen
Summary: 3 Stars
(spoilers) "The Unseen" is about three female news reporters traveling to Northern California to document a festival. After finding no place left to stay, they accept the offer of a weird old guy at his house. There doesn't seem to be much, except for some foreshadowing here and there. Eventually, two of the women go out to do a report on the festival, while the other stays at the house, feeling a little sick. Not too long after, she is killed in a very cheesy murder scene. It looked like she was attacked by a vicious vacuum, because you just saw her getting tugged around, then pulled into the vent.
The movie doesn't go far from there. Another woman returns to the house. There's a small amount of suspense before she too is killed by having her scarf pulling into the vent while she picked up some fruit she knocked over. Whoever--or whatever--was pulling her scarf into the vent slammed her face against it a few times. I guess that killed her.
The third one eventually comes home. It took a while, because her lover came to see her. They talked about him and his bad knee and the girl told him she had an abortion. It was pretty boring. Back at the house, the two hosts were acting all weird, back and forth. I felt bad for the wife.
Finally, our heroine comes home, finding the male host down in the basement fixing a pipe of some sorts. She gets locked down there, and thus the "horror" begins. Though, it soon turns funny, as she and Junior--the unseen one, I guess--play a few games. This even drags on, but eventually, it gets sort of good in the end, between the father and that same girl. I don't know how the boyfriend, gets there, but there's a great twist involving his injured knee. I thought that was good. And the final ending was really creepy. I don't fully recommend this one, though. It's a bit of a disappointment, unless you are looking for a slow, too melodramatic movie.
Movie Review: Baby Huey Wants To Play
Summary: 3 Stars
Comical horror as sprog Furst, a product of incest, is kept out of sight and for good reason, the big tyke just doesn't know his own strength, I think this is the closest you'll ever get to see the cartoon character Baby Huey in human form.
Stephen does a great job and is the best thing here, the rest of the film is strictly by the numbers
Movie Review: I Have Seen The Unseen!
Summary: 2 Stars
Sorry, Puzzle Box, I watched it!
I did watch the film, The Unseen, and the character referred to as "The Unseen" is indeed seen near the end of the film, so the title is kind of pointless if you know what I mean. This early 80s horror flick has three chicks shacking up at Sydney Lassick's place when they find themselves stranded in a small town. Lassick and his wife have a homicidal mutant man-child living with them that takes a liking to the ladies. While I've definitely seen worse, this one didn't do much for me(though I probably liked it more than Puzzle Box did). I think what I enjoyed most about it was Lassick, who's always a hit if you want someone a bit oddball and creepy. He definitely has a few "I want MY cigarettes!!!" moments here. Otherwise the film is rather goreless and bland, nor is it creepy or atmospheric enough to qualify as psychological horror either. And it's brought to you by director Danny Steinman, who is responsible for the underrated and often trashed Friday the 13th Part 5, the fun and trashy revenge flick, Savage Streets, and my personal fave, the 70s porno flick , High Rise! The Unseen may be of interest to folks who love 80s horror and are trying to see everything they can.
Movie Review: The Unseen is not woth seeing.
Summary: 1 Stars
The Unseen is an obscure b-movie from the early 80's and it just got re-released by Code Red, Code Red has a developing reputation for cult films but occasionally they would release a film that's so bad it doesn't deserve to be released in the first place like this film and Don't Go In The Woods Alone. An attractive blond TV reporter named Jennifer Fast (Barbara Bach) and her two assistants visit the town of Solvang, California to cover the Danish festival. They find themselves without a place to spend the night and are thankful when a friendly local named Ernest Keller (Sydney Lassick) invites them to spend the night at his farmhouse, a Victorian style residence. Ernest lives with his wife Virginia who seems to hide something and ghosts of a tragic past. The women don't realize that something horrible is hiding in the basement, something that is horribly-deformed and mentally ill. This offspring of inbreeding isn't going to stay in the cellar much longer . . . I'll be honest I was so disappointed with this film thinking that I might have stumbled upon a gem or a cult classic but the film stinks, there was no atmosphere and the cinematography was flat and dull (it looked like a t.v. movie), and the acting was just as bad especially from Sydney whom you might recognise from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, he was so unconvincing and lame. The storyline was also unoriginal and it took way too long for anything good to happen and when it does it just didn't keep my interest. If your looking for some gore then don't bother with this, the death scenes were pathetic (death through air vent?) it was just plain daft. I don't usually mind a horror film that uses suspense and scares instead of gore but The Unseen failed miserably in that department. I have another dvd from Code Red and I hope it doesn't turn out as dull as this, The Dead Pit should be interesting since the trailer looked promising. Overall I would have to say that the film was an utter waste of time and it's better if you stay far, far away from this rubbish horror flick and get something else.Movie Review: Should have stayed 'UNSEEN'!
Summary: 1 Stars
How did this unentertaining piece'o'sheet get such special treatment.Perhaps to fool people into believing it was worth it.
The most uninspired death/kill scenes I have ever seen!!!EXAMPLE: victim is killed via bumping her head on a floor air vent.So it seemed that they were going for drama to scare you or shock you but in the end I almost fell asleep.No gore!No blood!No acting skills.Bach who was one of the lead actors here was nice to look act but don't get your hopes up because she keeps her clothes on ,as well as the rest of the cast.
