Unearth

Trust me, there's infinitely better uses of your time. Plodding, with "dread" music playing from start to end. It's amateurish to play "dread" music before there's the slightest clue WHAT to fear! Too bad the rest of the movie wasn't up to the acting level, which was quite good. You know the editor(s) needed to wield the scissors when you can fast forward without fear of missing anything ANYTHING.

Pretty much as bad as bad can get. Sometimes, really bad Sci-Fi's make fun of themselves, as in the classic 'Tingler', it's at least letting everyone in on the joke so we all can giggle and snicker at our group silliness.

But this steaming heap of bad film is beyond bad. It's just really astoundingly bad, and seems to go on forever in its terrible, boring, poorly lit, poorly acted badness. Here's what is bad about this movie: The director, the script, the timing, the pace, the dialogue (that basically doesn't exist) the editing, the lighting, the wobbly cameras, all of the acting, and the director. Did I mention him twice? That's because he deserves two thumbs down.

I'm pretty sure the caterer was bad.

Apparently, there are people so rich that they need to throw away good money after bad just to hide income so they dump a couple mill into unprofessional, lost cause films as a 'producer'.

If you want to waste 90 minutes of your life, you are in luck with Unearth. The first hour of the film is boring family bickering... the last 30 minutes is hardly much better however.

Awesome premise, and a good start. Adrienne Barbeau kicks ass, and the acting is good all around. But then comes the angst, and solitary angst, and then the group angst and unresolved grief and personal opportunism. Then just more and more disjointed suffering and trauma that no one is doing anything about while no questions are being asked about anything. After the first half, it just become a 45 minute 'trailer' of nonsensical grief and greed scenes that make very little sense to anyone who can reason and who has the most basic of common sense. Nothing is ever explained. In all honesty, I would barely call this a "movie". It seemed it was going to be a nice, tight little drama, but no such luck. With 2 writers and 2 directors, SOMEBODY screwed this little pooch sideways in the second half. I think the actors deserve an apology...

A film about failing small businesses in the US countryside, well that's the the first hour after that prepare for rushed nonsense for the last 20 minutes. A lot of dead air throughout this movie, at the start make sure to come equipped with a notepad so you can figure out who all the characters are and their relationships with one another, because it's not explained. After zero hints that it's going this way a random pathogen appears in the last 20 minutes for something to happen??? That something I still can't explain. Characters show up who have never been seen before to contribute very little. Don't change the entire plot of the movie in the last act.
