The Unwilling

Started off not bad but slowly got more and more stupid with a truly awful ending. The very best part was when the hot Nurse at the beginning undid her blouse a bit and I'm not kidding.

Decent premise for this overlooked film. An estranged family gathers to hear what their hated patriarch left each of them. Needless to say, what they receive is not what they anticipated.

The concept has promise, and although I wish it had taken a different direction, it is a fun film. Dina Myers looks amazing and gives a fine performance, as do the rest of the man cast. The acting is good, most of the characters developed and interesting, and the menacing feel of impending doom made me want to see what played out. Although the basic plot was obvious from the start, this genre-bender that kept me watching until the finish with plenty of unpredictable twists along the way.

Why not give it a try?

Starts off well for the genre. There's even some darkly hilarious lines but unfortunately they ran out of gas trying to come up with another 20 decent minutes and it rapidly deteriorates. A pity! 5 stars for some good laughs and Hey it's that Startship Troopers girl and she hasn't aged a day in 20 years damn son.

I've been a Lance Henriksen fan ever since I saw him in Pumpkinhead. Apart from being a very versatile actor, I really love his voice. Pity he was only in the film a few minutes. I loved the very different characters - each with their own issues. The photography was very amateurish at times. Some interesting visuals (note I said interesting not good). Interestingly enough, the film won an award for Best Visual Effects... The film got increasingly worse as it progressed, but hey, if you want to see something you haven't seen before, then this is probably it. The effects are very, very low budget and practical. Its definitely not a good film, but somehow I still found it watchable. The ending was pretty laughable, actually, but you have to see it. You will be entertained either way - whether you like it or hate it.

The visual effects are rather good and elevate what would be a quite standard horror, into a rather sterling effort. No need to be too harsh on such low budgeted movies and throughout the duration, i found it quite entertaining. Actually it's a bit better than a lot of expensive Hollywood films and it won't be a let down to fans of the genre. If you don't raise your expectations too highly it will work for you. Oh and there is also the fab Lance Henriksen but only in a short cameo role.
