The Unspoken

A single mother and her mute 9 year old son move into a house with a sinister and mysterious past. They hire a local girl as a baby sitter and things start to get spooky, plus a small gang of local drug dealers blight them. This is a perfect example of why the majority of modern, 21st Century horror movies are so instantly forgettable. We get cheap jump scare after cheap jump scary, none of which are actually scary and it all rather quickly gets boring. The local thugs are somewhat ridiculous and unconvincing, would they really resort to murder in such a small town community just to get their stash? I think not. And then there's the ending, no spoiler from me other than to say I found it incredibly corny. 5/10 from me, perhaps a tad generous. This is by no means a bad movie, more like a reasonable time filler that I will have forgotten about by tomorrow and certainly wouldn't watch again. The film does have two good gore scenes and the acting was on the whole sufficient.

If you want spend a good time with your girl/boy-friend watch this movie for fun time. It's a common movie of haunted house, freak characters, bad boys, and move-it-self objects. The plot began typically when a single mother and her son moved on to the creepy house. Then typically the mother hired a baby sister to care her "mute" boy. After that begin strange and rare events who in the develop of the plot has been linked with past stories of the characters and the town. The movie has moments of horror and suspense. Isn't a great plot but it's simple and short movie that gives a surprise ending.

I loved the beginning, like a book, the first chapter has to grab me if I want to finish it...however, this was not the case. It was good at the beginning, but as the movie went on, it seemed to lack as it went along. I liked the spooky things that happened in the house, cabinets opening and slamming...the house keeper peeling out of the driveway when these things happened like I would have. No amount of money would keep me there when I see things moving by themselves. I liked the whole movie until the end when I really learned what was really going on. The ending ruined it for me. I want to recommend this movie...but I can't. Not with a good consciousness. Peace.

Overall, it could have been a very interesting film.

The simple plot is that a young girl gets a job as a baby sitter for a new family living in a house known in the small town for it's reputation, but then there is an interesting twist to the ghost story that could have been an eye opener and made this something horror fans would want to gravitate to

The thing is, the production on this was weak, not because it's a low budget horror film, but nothing came together in an exciting way. Everything was too standard to be interesting. you can tell from the beginning that the frights were not going to do anything. From the first "scare" all of them just bounce right off you rather than having them bounce you out of your seat.

I really wish it could have been better, but it was just boring.

If you want to see a horror movie, and you have seen most of them, this one will entertain you, is not the best but is a decent horror flick with decent acting, it can keep you trying to understand what is going one, and you wont know until the end of the movie. Please do not see this movie with great expectations, but I can guarantee that if you are fan of horror movies this one will be decent for you.
