Inaccurately titled horror film The Unfamiliar purees together an assortment of tired tropes with just enough originality and admirable craftsmanship to make 89 minutes of jump scares and twists visible from outer space reasonably bearable. Its first move is to make us wonder whether main protagonist Izzy (Jemima West), a British army doctor just home from Afghanistan, is really picking up on weird supernatural shenanigans in her rural home or suffering from acute post-traumatic stress disorder. Something definitely doesn’t seem right with her husband Ethan (Christopher Dane) who has suddenly shifted away from studying Polynesian totems (there’s a particularly scary looking one in the baby’s bedroom) in favour of writing children’s fiction. Meanwhile, her pre-adolescent son (Harry McMillan-Hunt) seems to be hiding secrets, and her adolescent daughter (Rebecca Hanssen) is acting just like,...

"Whatever happens, stay calm." Vertical Ent. has unveiled a trailer for the indie horror thriller titled The Unfamiliar, the latest from South African-born, Britain-based filmmaker Henk Pretorius. This is heading straight-to-vod next month for anyone curious. Jemima West stars as a British Army doctor who returns home from a war, thinking that she has Ptsd only to discover that there is a more daunting malevolence at work making the life that she knew unfamiliar. A demon, perhaps? The cast includes Christopher Dane, Rebecca Hanssen, Harry McMillan-Hunt, Rachel Lin, and Tori Butler-Hart. Oh this looks creepy as hell! All those subtle spooky things in the background. Seems like an homage to Insidious in a good way.
