Unseen (I) (2023)
2/10
Could have been a better movie

Warning: Spoilers
The plot is interesting and the two lead actresses were good. What I didn't care for was how it didn't know if it wanted to be a horror, suspense or slapstick comedy.

Some of the characters were so over the top absurd that it took away from the suspenseful drama. Also, the split screens where it was unnecessary to have them only distracted me.

And the guy Emily was running from didn't seem to really want to kill her because he was genuinely upset when she fell off the cliff and thought she was killed.

Yet later on in the barn he wants to kill her again---so why was he so upset when he thought she died earlier? It made no sense.

Then there's the really overdone and tired "white people are monsters" and ethnic people are always their victims. Movies really need to drop that nonsense already and let it go. It only shows the film writers racism and hate and serves to remind me why I rarely watch modern films anymore.

I saw this free on Prime when I had nothing else to watch....but next time I get the urge to tune into a 21st century movie, i'll pop in a 20th century classic instead. 2 stars for this mish mash of a film and those stars go to the lead actresses who I thought gave good performances, but the movie as a whole is bad.
