I can't recommend 'The Unkind' to anyone, even people like me who enjoy B Movies. 'The Unkind' gets a solid F.
The first few minutes of nonsense was a flashback from the 1800's. While it attempted to set the stage for a terrifying movie, it just prepped the audience for yet another poorly written, low budget movie that should have ended up in a bon fire.
The acting is some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Seriously, I've seen better acting in pre-school plays. Don't get me wrong, pre-school plays are fun to watch, and the kids have fun and have heart. 'The Unkind' is supposed to be a horror flick with adults who are expected to at least try their hand at acting. Zero effort by the actors or director.
The script was also as unremarkable as the acting. I was under the impression that it was written in a single night inspired by a next day deadline and copious amounts of alcohol. Nothing connected, poor dialogue, and riddled with endless mistakes.
And this was yet another movie were the miserable characters lack any redeeming qualities whatsoever. In cases like this, I would usually just cheer for the monster. But no redeeming qualities there either. The best case scenario I was hoping for is that a Monty Python-esque police squad would crash the movie and arrest everyone, thus ending this insult of a film early. I could only hope.
Skip this one. And definitely don't pay hard earned money to rent it. Not sure how it got released to the public.
