Had potential

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!

Neither terribly new nor terribly bad

This really rides right down the middle for me. Concept isn't exactly ground-breaking, but there was enough variety and differences to be enjoyable. Moves along pretty fast at times, but then will leave you questioning what just happened.

Not the worst thing ever by a long shot, but not at all scary.

Push too hard

When the director wants it to be scary, it tries too hard but fail. This is a typical example. I feel want to laugh more in some scenes.

What did I just watch?

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.

greatest horror movie ever made

One of the best horror movies in 25 years. I've always loved slow dull horror cinema... But this one just took everything to the next level! Great acting, accompanied with fantastic script, superb cinematography and spine chilling background score. How much can be accomplished without showing even minimum gore in the horror genre, The Unfamiliar is the testament to that.
