unbrokenmetal Diana (Dina Meyer) is testing a brain-scan device to reveal what's going on in the head of the psychopathic killer Jesse (Pavan Grover). She suspects him to be responsible for a murder that Cesar (Marco Rodriguez) was executed for. The prison director, played in a not much less psychopathic way by Dennis Hopper, doesn't really care as long as there's another execution soon.What begins as a dark psychological thriller turns into an aimless flight through horror (the return of the undead), mystery (has the killer supernatural powers?), sci-fi (the brain scanning), dreams, courtroom drama and more. Personally, I have the impression that the makers of the film couldn't agree on the direction they were heading towards, so they ended up with a little bit of everything, pieces of a puzzle which do not fit. It's a pity for the good actors and a couple of exciting moments.
Claudio Carvalho The scientist Diana Purlow (Dina Meyer) is performing experiments with the mind of criminals sentenced to death in the prison of the sadistic warden Earl Blakely (Dennis Hopper). She tests an apparatus she developed and capable of read minds in a man that claims to be innocent of a murder, but she is not able to convince her former lover and Governor (Jeff Fahey) to call off the execution. When the serial killer Jesse Mowatt (Pavan Grover) is arrested and sentenced to death, she convinces the warden to submit Jesse to her experiment. While working with the murderer, Diana faces pure evil in its essence."Unspeakable" is an intriguing story with gore and supernatural elements that unfortunately has a terrible conclusion. In the last five minutes, it is disclosed the character "Alicia", without any previous reference along the story, and I honestly did not understand why Jesse wanted Diana to kill him. For me, this conclusion is absolutely senseless. Further, there is a complete lack of explanation why Jesse had such abilities. Pavan Grover in the role of a diabolic serial killer pays homage to Harry Powell, the serial killer performed by Robert Mitchum in 1955 "The Night of the Hunter", with the words "Love" and "Hate" tattooed in his fingers. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Poder da Mente" ("The Power of the Mind")
td_destinee I thought the story was excellent, I liked the movie a lot. Pavan's story was amazing... it's truly "unspeakable"! Although some might not have liked the movie, but thats up to the director.. if he (thomas wright) hadn't edited so much of Pavan's work then it would have been a smashing hit in the box-office. I'm really excited of Pavan's work. He's displayed a lot of anger and darkness towards his own character that he wrote and played, that's what makes his work more interesting. I love writing too, I think it's a form of escape... from the world ... your own world... his story really appealed to me. A story like his was always in my mind ... amazing. I'd really love to meet him one day... one day ... Keep up the great work!! -taryn
RocketB52 Oh, c'mon, everybody, where is the love? First of all, when you slide some title off the shelf that never made it to theatrical release with a cover that features Dennis Hopper staring out at you in all his squinty-eyed, slightly soulful I-Am-a-Raving-Lunatic intensity. . .brace yourself for the possibility that you may be making a terrible mistake.Since the plot and writing credits have been hashed out already, I wont go into them, except to say I haven't seen so many people frothing at the mouth over a movie since they announced Michael Keaton was playing BATMAN way back in 1989.Sure very little of it made any sense, but was it fun watching Dennis Hopper rip his own face off? Sure! There was a pretty woman for the men to look at, a hunky guy for the ladies to look at, a decent cast, sadistic prison guards, a crazed warden, bogus science, a corrupt politician, a real electric chair, an autopsy, brain maggots, falling brains. . .my gosh. Fun galore on an evening when you've got nothing better to do. Are these my standards for great movies? No, but I didn't rent this title to see a great movie, or even a good movie. But my idea of a totally irredeemable piece of crap is NAIL GUN MASSACRE. So I'll save my venom. Couple of stars for the rating, at least.
