Unseen Evil

I don't have to say much. Everything is already told by the other users. All i have to say is that this "movie" gave me those rare moments in life when you literally stay with your mouth open. Especially at its ending. It was THAT bad. And thankfully and i didn't watch it from the beginning. I put 2 stars instead of 1 just because i didn't change the channel and made me stay and watch how bad a movie can be. The acting was laughable, the cgi effects are ridiculous (i mean, why didn't just use animatronics or something cheaper if they didn't have money? it would be more real than this!). I can't believe that people actually put money on this (no matter how low the amount), there are much better and more "professional" movies on youtube.

Okay, I simply had to see this since I saw it's "sequel" first (about two years ago), UNSEEN EVIL 2 (aka ALIEN 3000), and I immensely enjoyed it because it was truly one of the worst movies I had seen in a very long time. From it, I also learned that Tim Thomerson apparently starred in the "original". All this was reason enough for me to sit my a§§ down with this "original" epic tale of Alien Terror & Indian Mysticism.

So how did it go down this time? On a bad movie-scale, this "original" is about twice less fun than the "sequel". Does that actually make it a better movie...? I have absolutely no idea...

It's not even fun writing a user-comment for it (while the sequel was). We got annoying people running around in some woods, being chased and ripped to shreds by crappy CGI (make no mistake; it's not as fun as it sounds). But if that's your thing, then sure, go ahead and watch it. I'll always be willing to give retarded rubbish like this a peek, but I can only take so much of it.

I'll be generous and give it one point for what happens to Tim Thomerson. Didn't see that one coming. I guess the producers realized they were spending too much money hiring him, so they just decided on the spot to write him out of the script.

By the way, if you happen to love UNSEEN EVIL, then go watch DEMONICUS (2001). You'll have a blast. It's even from the same director (Jay Woelfel) and its more or less the same movie, only this time with a possessed idiot running around in a plastic Roman-times inspired body-armour, slashing people in the woods. Have fun.

If this movie had a large budget, it would just be another silly horror movie with a bad script and bad directing. It is not a big money movie, however, and the results are tragically tacky.

I could not hope to encompass all of the bad things about this movie in a comment as short as this one, and I would not want to - the movie is not worth it. Suffice to say that the script is horrible, the directing is worse, the camera work seems to be irrevertibly stuck in the early eighties and the "special effects" (which are repeated ad infinitum, ad nauseam) are so bad they would shame those of early Star Trek - if those had been created today!

The greatest horror of the whole thing, however, is trying to set yourself in the role of the actors, who do a fantastical job, despite everything else, as they labour to make something believable out of this utter crap of a movie. Sadly, the actors, despite their efforts, can hardly make their characters, badly written as they are, come to any life beyond pulp magazine stereotypes.

This movie is not even worth watching as the joke I hope it is.

Man...what can I say about this film? When I saw the cast included Richard Hatch, and the King Of B-Movies Tim Thomerson, I thought it had potential. I was wrong. Almost immediately, from the look of the film, I could see it was low-budget. Still I held out hope. Then I saw how cheesy the prop "artifacts" looked, I smelled trouble. Upon seeing how weak the monster effects were, I KNEW I was in trouble. Only some classic B-movie gratuitous nudity could redeem this film (hopefully from Cindy Pena, who plays a Native-American guide), but once again I was disappointed. If you see this film on the shelf at your local store, RUN. It has poor production, a weak plot, and generally poor acting performances...

UNSEEN EVIL opens with some hokey Native American lore about the title entity. Once glimpsed in its cave lair, we know for sure we're in bad-bad CGI country! After about ten years of opening credits, we're introduced to the disposable humans who are on their way to the selfsame cave.

Enter Ranger Chuck MacNeil (Tim Thomerson) who is the only likeable character, as well as the only one with a functioning brain. Horror -sort of- erupts when the group's true motives are revealed, pi$$ing off the cave monster to no end! Yep, there's a treasure involved.

At first it's okay, since the beast is invisible. Alas, it soon materializes, revealing the full extent of the computer generated ineptitude. If it hadn't been for the pitiful presentation, this could have been a low-low budget version of PREDATOR. Instead, it's terrible.

REMEMBER THIS ADDAGE: If the budget is super-low, do we show the monster? No!

BONUS: This movie does contain one of the most rib-tickling decapitations ever filmed!

PLUS: The "gold" treasure is obviously painted balsa wood!...
