weirdweld I am writing this because I was reminded of the film when asked by a meme sharer on Facebook what is the worst movie you've ever seen? I'm guessing that sums it up really, thanks Netflix Maybe not the worst ever but it popped into my mind, unwelcomed from around a year ago & I can't beat it for now. Does this review contain spoilers? Fairly sure there is nothing to make the experience worse so no. If you like low budget " arty" shots you'd still be better off navigating instagram randomly. Obviously this is my opinion but it seems others share it so view at your own risk.

derekjager 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!

Leofwine_draca Another day, another found footage movie; THE UNFOLDING shows promise in the early scenes of a couple driving through a dismal Dartmoor, but before long this turns into another PARANORMAL ACTIVITY copy that offers only a modicum of interest over the drawn-out running time.The story is about a couple of researchers who conduct an investigation at a reportedly haunted house. The viewer watches via hand camera footage and latterly CCTV material. The problems with the film are too numerous to mention, although it's worth nothing that the young leads are saddled with the most boring characters ever and the film has some ludicrous plot developments, particularly that ridiculous ending.It's low budget throughout and sometimes painfully so. I hate that greyed out look to these films which gives them a dull and uniform appearance, a modern cliché of horror films. The only interest comes from seeing a couple of veteran British character actors in support, Robert Daws and Kitty McGeever. The rest of the film is composed of loud jump scares and not a lot else.

yvetteandmol This is an old fashioned classic thriller obviously made with much love. We got to see it as a first showing at the London Frightfest and it stood out head and shoulders above the other showings. More Jacques Tourneur than blood splatter. More squeezing as much as you can from the budget than Hollywood blockbuster. But the lack of cash has made the director pull out all the stops and the movie doesn't have to rely on gimmicks or jump scares. Rather it's clever and 'in your head'. This of course makes it even more creepier. Like a whisper that you just can't make out. Great slow burn with an interesting back story. It's quite a unique movie with, at times, outstanding cinematography. The sound track is tremendous and proves that the whole is so much more than the sum of the parts. Go see. You won't be disappointed.
