The 4.6 rating here is hysterically inaccurate, and not for the first time. The last 2 years have been abysmal for movie releases, and people should be grateful that something this entertaining and original came along. "The Unhealer" is a very well-made movie, nicely filmed in the 2;35 "scope" format, and looks like a typical Hollywood production with generous production values. It's basically the classic revenge story, with the bullied teenage boy. (the likable Elijah Nelson), getting revenge on his abusers, after he discovers that he has been given a strange power, through an Ancient Indian curse. This power basically turns the boy into a mirror, where everything that is done to his body, automatically happens to the body of his abuser. For instance if a drill goes through Kelly's knee cap, his attacker has his knees drilled instead. It sounds weird because it is...and "weird" means "different,' which is something that we NEVER see coming out of Hollywood anymore, with all the remakes, reboots and superhero junk. Sadly overlooked film, in the tradition of the "Final Destination" movies, only so much more original and intelligent, and very similar to "Chronicle" from a few years before. Fans of sci-fi and revenge movies should check it out, and ignore the low rating here, which is just strange and inaccurate.
