The Unseen (I) (2016)
6/10
Well, this was interesting...
30 June 2023
When I stumbled upon this 2016 thriller titled "The Unseen", I was immediately drawn to it, given the movie's rather interesting, if not unusual, cover.

Sure, I had never actually heard about the movie before sitting down to watch it. But after seeing the movie's cover, I had to see what writer and director Geoff Redknap had to offer.

The storyline in "The Unseen" is pretty straight forward, though the movie does go through some rough patches where the narrative slows down rather much. And the movie did suffer from that. But in overall, then I was genuinely entertained by the script and plot that Geoff Redknap conjured up for the movie.

"The Unseen" was rather nicely carried by the performance of Aden Young, playing Bob Langmore. I am unfamiliar with him prior to watching this movie, but he really did put on a good performance and managed to carry the movie rather well.

Visually then "The Unseen" does have good effects. Director Geoff Redknap gradually piles on more and more, well rather less and less if you think about, of effects for Bob Langmore as the narrative proceeds. And I have to say that I enjoyed that approach to the movie, and it worked out nicely because the special effects and CGI team put on a great display.

I was initially lead to believe that "The Unseen" was a horror movie, but it was actually a thriller.

"The Unseen" is definitely worth checking out and sitting down to spend 108 minutes on watching.

My rating of "The Unseen" lands on a six out of ten stars.
