    Reviews don't do it justice

    *NON-SPOILER*

    Yes, this is a mid-low budget film. Yes, not many people have heard of it. Yes, it doesn't have huge named actors in it.

    But...... The storyline and acting in this is actually really good. If I'm honest, I was unsure on both fronts to begin with, but as the film got further along, you could see the talent on show.

    As for the storyline, I don't like to give away any spoilers, but it does start very quickly and you'll be wondering what exactly is happening. Things do develop and then explain themselves in time. It has genuinely creepy moments and moments of horror with a decent storyline to go with it.

    I would've rated this more but there are aspects to the film that let it down, like the lack of background on why what happens actually happens. Scenes jumping quickly from one to the next without any middle ground is another reason.

    Regardless, this film isn't less than a 4/10 which it's currently rated at, if you like horror and are open minded, it's definitely a solid 6.

    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.

    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.

    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!
