videorama-759-859391 Why do we go to horror films? To see a lot of gore and be on edge. What the hell was this writer thinking. We've got three honeys, one at the start, who we are granted with seeing her goodies while taking a shower, going to a rock concert during a rainstorm, which as consequence, they crash their car. They're taken in by a pleasant enough guy who works at this mansion that harbor a terrible secret. There's little suspense, but a lot of screen time wasted with uninteresting activity (chatting). The old woman who owns it, has a real nasty, spiteful nature, and worse, she HATES men, hence the secret. The younger woman, the sister, provides the twist, which I liked. You won't see the twist, so to speak, it's too well covered up. It doesn't look good for three girls, either, as one by one, they're being sliced up, with a sickle in some effectively sick gore. But Unhinged suffers, purely on the lack of suspense and uninteresting prattle, by our three mains who are okay in their roles, plus dialogue from others too, in a displaced horror that could of much better, if not for a lot of nothingness. The unveiling of the killer + murderous, reasons, provide a good backing of the character's motives. Unhinged is a horror movie you'll fee cheated by.

cameron-kills-it "Unhinged" is about 3 college girls who crash their car on their way to a music festival, and they end up in a creepy old mansion where a psychotic old lady and her daughter live. Soon enough, a killer starts slashing people up one by one. Known for being one of the UK's infamous "Video Nasties", "Unhinged" is surprisingly low in the violence & gore category, and mostly focusing on the plot and character development, which does not work for these types of movies. The actors were all locals to the Oregon area, and none of them have been in a movie before, so, the acting wasn't exactly too great. However, it is an Okay movie if you just ignore the cheesy dialogue and continuity errors. The great twist ending is the reason that I gave this movie five stars, that was definitely the best part of the movie! If you're a fan of cheesy 80's slasher flicks, then check this out!

RazorFriendly2 I bought Unhinged because I got suckered by the gory picture on the cover. If you want to see all the good parts of the movie just look on the back of the box. All the kills are shown and I can honestly tell you that they look much better in the still frames than they do in the movie.Having said that, let's look at the plot. A group of college girls driving to a rock concert (by way of the deep, dark woods in one of the longest driving sequences ever captured on celluloid) slide off the road. No visible damage is done to the car but apparently it was enough to put one of the characters in a comatose state for the rest of the film (or perhaps she read the script and was already in a coma before filming began).The two remaining girls wake up in a big, isolated house. The house, by the way, is fabulous and manages more drama just by its presence than any of the actors in the film. For some reason, though, this house has no roads going to it. The only way you can get to the main road is by hiking five miles through the woods. The girls spend the rest of Unhinged sitting around listening to weird conversations between an old rich bitch (who looks like George Washington in drag) and her equally homely, sexually repressed daughter. The girls apparently were in no hurry to get back from that concert anyway being that they packed more clothes than the cast of Gilligan's Island for that three hour tour.By the time we, the viewers, get to the kill scenes, we no longer care. We wish that someone would kill us just to end our suffering . Unhinged finally wraps up with a quite shocking ending that deserved to be in a much better film. It's almost as though the ending, the one good idea in the film, was written first and then the writers tried to make a movie leading up to it.Unhinged is ultimately a boring film with bad acting, inept directing, and a plot with more holes than a leper in a porno film (sorry. I'm not sure where that came from). You will get an idea of how bad this movie is during the opening credits when, for some reason that is never explained, the screen goes black for about two minutes while the characters talk about nothing worth remembering. Don't waste your time. You'll just feel Unhinged and want your time and money back.

lastliberal This video nasty slasher film directed by Don Gronquist, was banned in Britain for 20 years because of violence and nudity.It may have been nasty in 1984, but it is certainly tame by today's standards. That doesn't mean it is not worth watching, but it certainly does not stand up next to today's slasher films.First, I have to be careful and cannot fully review it as it would spoil it for anyone wanting to see it.I can say that the two shower scenes were nice, but nothing special.I can also say that there were three slasher scenes, but only the last one was special.It is worth the time, but it is certainly not anything excessive.
