Review of The Unseen

The Unseen (I) (2023)
2/10
A whole lot of nothing, that takes too long.

Let's start with the obvious...this is a lower budget movie with some good aspects and some aspects.

The good: The title kind of sums it up! It should be "Unseen"! My honest feedback is RJ Mitte is okey. Rebekah Kennedy is pretty good. I guess the other good thing is there are a bunch of people that rated the movie a 9 or 10 (but my assumption is they are relatives, friends or cast members...or, they have never actually seen a movie!)

The bad: It is very slow and at 100 minutes it constantly drags. I'm thinking the Producer/Writer was involved in the editing and refused to cut scenes.

A lot of the acting and directing is a big swing and a miss. Anytime the writer is also one of the stars of the film you should skip it...this obviously applies here. Jennifer A. Goodman failed as both a writer and actress with a flat, uninspired script and performance.

The concept of the film is coherent, but the execution and script don't seem to match the idea. There are no real thrills or scares, just a few overly obvious hallucinations.

Overall, it isn't a good movie. Not even a little good. I would skip this one and go find something else to watch.
