Rating:  - The Unseen is not woth seeing.
The Unseen is an obscure b-movie from the early 80's and it just got re-released by Code Red, Code Red has a developing reputation for cult films but occasionally they would release a film that's so bad it doesn't deserve to be released in the first place like this film and Don't Go In The Woods Alone. An attractive blond TV reporter named Jennifer Fast (Barbara Bach) and her two assistants visit the town of Solvang, California to cover the Danish festival. They find themselves without a place to spend the night and are thankful when a friendly local named Ernest Keller (Sydney Lassick) invites them to spend the night at his farmhouse, a Victorian style residence. Ernest lives with his wife Virginia who seems to hide something and ghosts of a tragic past. The women don't realize that something horrible is hiding in the basement, something that is horribly-deformed and mentally ill. This offspring of inbreeding isn't going to stay in the cellar much longer . . . I'll be honest I was so disappointed with this film thinking that I might have stumbled upon a gem or a cult classic but the film stinks, there was no atmosphere and the cinematography was flat and dull (it looked like a t.v. movie), and the acting was just as bad especially from Sydney whom you might recognise from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, he was so unconvincing and lame. The storyline was also unoriginal and it took way too long for anything good to happen and when it does it just didn't keep my interest. If your looking for some ... Read More
Rating:  - I've been waiting since the VHS era!
I haven't seen this movie since I viewed it on cable 25 years ago. But something about it has always haunted me. I'll know whether I've been haunted by babes in bathtubs or by horror brilliance when I finally get to see it again. Can't wait!
Rating:  - this horror masterpiece works on many levels
The Unseen is another of my personal favorites, outstanding on every level. Yes, the story is basic Horror Film 101. Three TV newsgals drive to Solvang, California to do a puff piece on a folk festival. All the local hotels are booked so, while searching for a hotel outside of town, they stumble upon one run by Ernest Keller (Sydney Lassick).
Turns out the hotel is a museum. No matter. Ernest invites the newsgals to stay at his house, with him and his wife, Virginia (Lelia Goldoni). Unbeknownst to the newsgals, husband and wife are also brother and sister. And lurking in the basement, crawling through the air ducts, is the spawn of their unholy union ... unseen!
Well, you'll see him eventually. But before you do, the body count mounts! (You know how those mutant spawn-of-incest retards get when they see nekkid women passing by their air ducts.) Actually, the body count doesn't mount by all that much. There are only three newsgals, after all. But there's enough in The Unseen to make up for the low score.
Yes, The Unseen's premise and story are easy to mock. They sound so formulaic. Yet the film's execution raises it to a masterpiece of the formula.
Barbara Bach (still the best Bond girl -- The Spy Who Love Me) is the lead newsgal, Jennifer Fast. Granted, Bach's acting range is limited, but she is stunning to behold. And she improves in the final half hour, when all that's required is to scream and cower. Bach can deliver if a script is within her range; ... Read More
Rating: - The Unseen
(spoilers) "The Unseen" is about three female news reporters traveling to Northern California to document a festival. After finding no place left to stay, they accept the offer of a weird old guy at his house. There doesn't seem to be much, except for some foreshadowing here and there. Eventually, two of the women go out to do a report on the festival, while the other stays at the house, feeling a little sick. Not too long after, she is killed in a very cheesy murder scene. It looked like she was attacked by a vicious vacuum, because you just saw her getting tugged around, then pulled into the vent.
The movie doesn't go far from there. Another woman returns to the house. There's a small amount of suspense before she too is killed by having her scarf pulling into the vent while she picked up some fruit she knocked over. Whoever--or whatever--was pulling her scarf into the vent slammed her face against it a few times. I guess that killed her.
The third one eventually comes home. It took a while, because her lover came to see her. They talked about him and his bad knee and the girl told him she had an abortion. It was pretty boring. Back at the house, the two hosts were acting all weird, back and forth. I felt bad for the wife.
Finally, our heroine comes home, finding the male host down in the basement fixing a pipe of some sorts. She gets locked down there, and thus the "horror" begins. Though, it soon turns funny, as she and Junior--the unseen one, I guess--play a few ... Read More
