This was a beautifully shot, well acted movie with a decent premise that just took too damn long to tell. Even at only just over 70 minutes. I loved parts of this and saw moments of brilliance, but wow did it feel long. And I gotta say, there were key moments in the story where I just couldn't believe the characters would act the way they did because it was too far-fetched, so that's not good. Still, I would love to see this edited down and put into an anthology or something.

At their beloved's graveside, a grieving husband proposes a pact to his sister-in-law in the hope of restoring life to their dearly departed.

Dialogue-heavy two-hander that mostly feels like an old-fashioned morality tale, along the lines of be-careful-what-you-wish-for, but looking to deliver something more.

The opening scene is two actors expositioning - or maybe they're speaking in riddles that can only be worked out later. By the end, we circle round to a parallel scene, with a hint that this pattern will repeat - so the film-makers are taking a look at some aspect of death, which is intriguing and enough to forgive the drawbacks of low-budget and inexperience in the production.

But the opening is followed by another static scene, where the dialogue raises unspoken questions that might be down to the discrepancy between what appears to be going on and a hidden reality. The suspicion is that it's just a bit cack-handed, given the unexplained jump forward in time.

Eventually, we get to the ritual scene, which is effective and the first time the movie earns its spooky music. The possibilities open up, and the director lays on a couple of moments of weird, when the husband finds himself addressing a void, but I couldn't figure out what they signified. There's also a bleeding knife, which has to symbolize guilt, linking in a later scene to a heart, but I was still struggling to put everything together.

Good horror creates a weird world that actually maps back on to ordinary fears and struggles in a human way. So surely with twins there's a psychoanalytic truth about identity and doubling, some psychic path to a repressed horror? An exploration of what a woman goes through in subjecting herself to a husband, when her liberated self dies?

I'm not insisting on puzzle-solving, but there has to be a consistency and a purpose to those moments where the film-maker shifts out of the ordinary - the trick is to present it as an entertaining narrative, using all the skills of cinema, and to allow the audience to reach its own conclusion. Instead, we get splashes of gruesome symbolism and macabre oddities.

The performances and editing are fine, the cinematography and the lighting not very attractive, and the music for me was too deliberately spooky.

Overall: Digs its way out of the morality tale, only to stumble around the graveyard, bumping into headstones.

This was like that one campfire story someone tells, when everyone is pretty sure the teller misremembered most of the details, but they don't want to be rude so they say "um.... ok. Thanks. Who's next?"

I think someone had an idea about twins and tried to write a screenplay about it without ever really noticing that there wasn't much to the idea to begin with. They started throwing in some random obligatory scenes, and then added a lot of fluff in a sad attempt to fill all the empty space, but in the end it was pretty much empty space.

The only horror here is the fact that this rubbish was made.

Two character boring, tedious and obscure movie that drags and drags and . . .drags.

Awful acting and daft plot and storyline.

I could hardly sit through this all the way. It's 99% dialog between 2 characters over ambient music the whole movie. Doesn't classify as a horror film.

But if you're looking for something on shudder too chuck on so you fall asleep faster I'd recommend this "An unquiet grave"

This movie was so boring that I actually forgot I was watching it. I cleaned up the kitchen and went out to water the lawn before I finally remembered that I was watching a movie. I came back in to rewind it and discovered that I hadn't actually missed anything because not a single eventful moment happens in the entire film. Seriously. Not one. I wasn't even this bored when I helped my husband sort his tools in the garage.

It's not badly made. It's not badly acted. And the story itself isn't bad either. The problem is that it's just... kind of... lame?

Well, no, let me take that back. Maybe a better way to explain it is as a dramatic horror story that leans much harder into the drama than the horror. So, if you prefer your dramas to have a little bit of eeriness to them, this film is right up your alley. But if your definition of horror is strictly jump-scare after jump-scare, this one definitely is not for you.

Either way, with a run time of just 75 minutes, it's really not all that much to commit to.

Well an unquiet grave doesn't necessarily make for grand horror entertainment. And such was the case for the 2020 horror movie from writers Christine Nyland and Terence Krey.

Sure, I hadn't even heard about this 2020 movie before now in 2021, when I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it. And with it being labeled as a horror, of course I had an interest in watching it. And I must also admit that the movie's title was sort of alluring as well.

But director Terence Krey managed to present an abysmal display of a movie here with "An Unquiet Grave". And I was honestly not even remotely entertained by the storyline in the movie. In fact, it was an amazingly boring and uneventful movie, which made for a dull movie experience and a prolonged movie experience at that. Woe to you if you manage to sit through the entire ordeal.

And with this being labeled as a horror movie, well... That might be stretching it somewhat. Sure, if you are fresh off of the boat and unfamiliar with the horror genre in general, then sure this movie might be scary or fall into the horror category. But if you, like me have had a decades of exposure to the horror genre, then this movie was a stroll in the park and quite far from being a horror movie.

The acting in the movie was nothing noteworthy, especially since the actors and actresses had wooden and emotionless characters to work with, given the inadequate storyline and some dubious writing.

My rating of "An Unquiet Grave" lands on a two out of ten stars. This movie simply isn't worth the time, money or effort. Some of us suffered through this, so you don't have to.

The style of this film is unique. It has a different pace than many horror films. You can tell it is intentional. It draws the watcher in and enhances the personal experience you have with the characters and content. It plays with the idea of how relationships change over time, and sometimes people we love change in a way that makes them unrecognizable to us.

This movie is spooky, I'll give the writers and film makers kudos for that. However I was not convinced of the husband's need to do what he did. Still, the movie made for entertaining viewing.

This is by far one of the most boring movies that I have ever seen. I would rather only watch Schindler's List for the rest of my life than ever have to watch this movie even one more time. Do not waste any of your time watching this movie. It's hard to watch because the way it's shot is so dark that you're missing details because you literally can't see. I only watched this because it said it won a ton of independent film awards so I had hope but it's just not entertaining. There are way too many scenes of people just sitting by themselves and staring out into the distance. Overall, just boring.

This film just has two characters and their conversations are like pulling teeth waiting for answers.

The writing is obtuse and often silly.

This is a resurrection movie without much momentum or energy. I cared nothing for the two characters. It seemed like a short story made for a 30 minute TV episode.

Im not sure what the goal was here because the writing and the actors don't sell it. I saw the film on "Shudder", and I expected more. I wanted to like this movie based on the description, but it never develops into a compelling story.

This film is terribly slow. Im sure it started out as a good idea but the execution just wasn't there.

This is horror, yes, it is also a love story, and a paranormal film. It is complex and will have you paying attention the whole time. The acting is also impeccable.

Fabulously written and well acted, both a horror film and also something that dives deeper into the relationship between siblings and self.

This movie is slow burn horror - worth checking out for sure. Very eerie and atmospheric- which I love in a horror movie. Perfect example of be careful what you wish for - it may come true!
