jtindahouse There's an awful lot wrong with 'The Unspoken'. As I was watching it I was thinking to myself that it was one of the worst horror movies I've seen - and I've seen a lot of terrible horror movies. The amount of jump scares that turn out to be absolutely nothing is quite ridiculous. Jump scares are fine if there is a genuine reason for them relating to the story. Occasionally a misleading one can be thrown in, I accept that. But when there have been about 10-15 of them and none of them have turned out to be anything more than a cat jumping out of nowhere, it gets pretty frustrating. The other main problem I had, was that other than the opening scene, almost the entire movie happens during daylight hours. There's nothing scary about daylight. I don't think there's a film maker alive who could pull off an effective horror movie filmed entirely during the day. This was absolute amateur hour from director Sheldon Wilson.The acting is bad, the dialogue is bad and the story is completely boring. There was almost nothing good going for it. Then along came the ending. It's a very interesting ending that I happened to quite like. I'm not talking 'The Usual Suspects' or 'Memento' type quality, and maybe it just seemed like a better ending because everything else had been so terrible and I wanted to like something about it. Regardless though, I liked it. In fact it bumped it up from being a '3' to a '4'. Is the horrible lead up worth it for the ending though? I'm going to stick with a no on that one.

mistermassive No torture porn, no gore fest, no perverted garbage. Just your basic scary movie with enough chills and frights to make you uncomfortable while viewing.It was nice to see the girl from Dark Matter playing the lead in this film and to see her in a new light. I was hooked in the first fifteen minutes as you keep wondering why certain events are shown and certain rumors exist in the town where this takes place. In fact the ending even provides a nice albeit humorous twist as well.So if you enjoy psychological thrillers and a fairly unique plot that unfolds quickly in the end then you may find this move as fun as I did.

dcarsonhagy "The Unspoken" is another horror (yawn) movie about, well, ghosts (I guess). It has an overall effect of cold mush okra. It is so hackneyed, so predictable, so non-scary it should be used as an example in an undergraduate course on how to bore an audience instead of scaring them.It opens with a story of what would become legend "The Briar House." It seems that an entire family vanished from the face of the earth never to be heard from again. If my thinking serves me correctly, I would say the cat scared them. Watch this movie, and you'll get the connection.Anyhoo, flash forward to the present, and a single mother and mute son move into the house. Immediately, things begin to go bump in the night. Angela is then introduced as the movie's protagonist. She is played by Jodelle Ferland ("Silent Hill" and "Case 39"). Nearly every word she utters is barely above a whisper, yet she manages to bond with the mute boy. Along the way, however, she is tormented by some local thugs--right out of the Hardy Boys High School--and tries to have a faux lesbian relationship with some boyish girl. The boys need to get back in the house to get their "stash" (I'm sure it was a limitless end of Lego blocks), but I digress.This movie was just plain bad. And the completely unbelievable ending left me stupefied. As in many other movies of this genre, it was as if the writer, director, and producer sat down and said, "Okay; I have NO idea how to end this, so let's just do this." Rated "R" for violence and language.

Erdal Atalay I recommend this movie absolutely, which is a HORROR movie and not only a thriller. The type of the movie is not correctly declared in IMDb like some other movies. There are similarities to other movies like Amityville, which is also cited in the movie. The director and at the same time writer of the movie must be a fan of Amityville movies just like me. The opening is very good and very promising, so that it makes you curious for more. The acting is good, Neal McDonough is the sheriff and the main actress Jodelle Ferland is known for The Tall Man (2012). Before I watched it, I thought it's about a ghost house. Was I right? It was not only this. By the way the special effects are also good. Altogether it is a 6.2 or 6.3 movie for me.
