The Unearthing

This is just a flat out fun film! I love indie films! However, often times you don't know what exactly you're getting yourself into. But for me, this was not one of those occasions. I don't want to be considered a spoiler, so I don't want to say to much about the story... other than it was just delightful. Bravo, well done! I thought the director did a super good job in telling the story and keeping the pace of the film moving along. I did not find myself drifting off or getting board. So for me, this is a solid thumbs up!!

I especially love films where the characters discover things about themselves along the journey. This teenage-centric film is a fun journey for all ages to get lost in as it hits upon some key elements that are relatable to all - friendships, family, tough situations, and overcoming challenges.

More of a mystery intrigue film than a horror flick, "The Unearthing" was well done for a low budget film. Though it had a moment or two that felt slow, the overall flow and storytelling was well-captured. The score was terrific and the young actors show a lot of promise. It's simple, cleanly shot, and has good direction. I particularly enjoyed the interest invested in local history.

Tristan James Jensen shows an eye for filming that isn't often seen at his age. I look forward to seeing more from him in the future.

Great coming of age flick that I would recommend especially for younger viewers.

I love a great indie film. Add good story and acting then you have this gem! Really enjoyed the mystery elements and the "Stand by Me" vibes. Definitely worth the watch!

A girl moves to a new town. Strange mysterious girl forces a friendship between the two and a boy. They start investigating a town legend...then the story twists in uncohesively until the end. Once you find out this was a student film it makes a lot of sense. So much potential lost in the story when obviously they ran out of time and money.

If you can get past the mediocre acting and the weird story twist...and the really stupid cliffhanger ending. You will like it.
