I wanted to like this film but i can honestly say I've never watched such tripe has this in my life how anyone can even remotely call this scary is taking the mick it's rare I write reviews but I had to for this please for the love of god don't watch it a five year could of done a better job and I'm not kidding acting awful effects none existent barely hear or see what's happening terribly a joke
I had such high hopes for this film.Potentially something fresh and stand out amidst the mediocre horror on offer on netflix. The idea of a supernatural thriller set against a back drop of impending nuclear war.I honestly had no idea there was a nuclear war going on but for cursory worried mutterings and snatches of television and radio doomsaying. Soon the hope of seeing something fresh and exciting was dashed when an all too familiar line up of stock characters and clichés appeared in the middle aged psychic, cooky professor, empathetic female lead and to be honest boring and watered down male lead. As the film reached its climax, the inevitable nuclear war, I was hoping for a twist that would have validated the 1hr 30 mins i'd wasted on this film but no. Just bland SFX and no real explanation. Don't bother with this one.
It can be tough to make a scary movie these days. There are so many that it's easy to believe you've been there/done that. What counts is the characters, THEN the story.That's why I love THE UNFOLDING. Well-drawn characters with a terrific premise of the world at war while people try to deal with what's going on in a haunted house.It's found footage but not jerky and the scares are real and "earned" so stick with it to the really amazing ending. This is one film that can stand near THE HAUNTING, THE INNOCENTS and THE CHANGLING!
What's unfolding is my attention with this dross."An exciting and relevant new take on the Haunted House story." Who said this? Was it the mother of the writer? This film is duller than a 3W bulb. Found footage certainly isn't a new take, neither are jump scares. You get a lots of stuff happening off screen, and not a lot happening on screen.I agree with what another reviewer said. Methinks the good reviews were written by friends and family of the cast and crew.I ended up turning it off, so no idea if there was an amazing twist, and I don't care either.Are they sure it wasn't meant for Shitefest instead of Frightfest? Watch something else, like Housebound instead.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3504048/?ref_=nv_sr_1
