The Unfamiliar

I don't like it and i don't know why this movie exist?

If you need to fall asleep at night! No thrills in this dull performance bore fest knock off.

Premise starts nicely. Woman returns from a war zone performing as a doctor. Then she starts seeing things that aren't there. And it isn't PTSD. So at this early mark in the film, all energy and spookiness leaves. What is left is a tired retread of of standard elements of a haunting. And by standard I mean stock elements simply presented one after the other to piece together the plotline, plodding its way to the inevitable end. Right down to the standard stock trope of an end. It felt like after the 15 minute mark, once the plot had been established, all effort ended with the script to do anything with itself. It could have been a silent film without any notation, and I would have still understood the plot line and resolution. That says something. The film was made adequately, and the acting is decent. Just nothing in the script to create any tension or scares.

The film starts off really well and has some spooky moments but once it gets to about the half-way point, it devolves quickly. To be frank, the last half is a total train wreck. They pretty much were just throwing all the possession tropes against a wall to see what would stick. The lead actress is quite good.

Had potential with a couple good creepy spots but not one good jump scare & honestly the very end was EXTREAMLY predictable! I rate this as Junk with potential!
