    Much, much too awful to watch

    I'll be honest: I am in no way connected to or know anyone having the slightest thing to do with this movie.

    And this movie sucks. Also being honest: I did not watch it all, because life is too short. It's not the production values that I mind -- although they were very low budget. It's not the threadbare dialogue, delivered by actors with all the skill of B-grade porn stars -- although they were awful. It's not the overdone and stilted narrator who appears to be reading from cards -- although he...

    wait a minute...

    yes, it IS all those things that I mind! They suck, this movie sucks and you would be wasting your time to watch it, much less pay to watch it.

    If you are one of those rare people who enjoy poorly written, edited, directed and acted video releases, then I guess... I would ask you, what's wrong with you?

    This movie sucks a lot! Don't be tempted!

    Comment deleted without any grounds...

    A year ago I unfortunately saw this piece of garbage, fortunately, free on the internets. Talk about 90 minutes of crap. The movie's complete lack of quality compelled me to sign up on IMDb to write a warning review. This film is seriously that bad.. Well, within a week of my posting, the review was flagged as inappropriate by some user. No reason was given so I said "whatever" and decided not to waste any more time on this stinker.

    Then I was cleaning up in my inbox just now and came across the old mail informing me of the deletion of my comment. I decided to check on this again and read all the ten star reviews. Aaaaand there is no doubt in my mind that they are all written by one or two people, surely affiliated with the film. The quite shoddy style of writing and reoccurring words are a dead giveaway. Just face the fact, your movie sucks on a previously unknown scale.

    Bottom line: Do not waste 90min. of your precious life on this. Staring at a bar of soap for the same amount of time is more rewarding.

    The show is in the vein of The Twilight Zone

    Justin plays a character named "Keith," a high roller that "Frankie" (played by writer/producer Sal Mazzotta) encounters at a roulette table in Atlantic City. Frankie is a gambler, down on his luck, who gets some lucky numbers from a mysterious man, "Lucky Smith," played by David Proval ("The Sopranos"). As Frankie and Keith play roulette, Frankie's luck changes. Suddenly, he's winning, he's on top of the world, and beautiful women (always present at roulette tables) want to be with him. Who is the mysterious man who gave him the numbers and what does he want in exchange?? The show is in the vein of The Twilight Zone, and very Hitchcock-like. Adam West will be the voice of the narrator, "Dr. Sol Rubin," taking the place of his good friend Frank Gorshin who passed away. Justin is in one scene but he is considered one of the principals in the episode. They had a blast shooting the scene at the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City.

    Entertaining Short

    As a past film student and one who appreciates good suspense, I really enjoyed The Unknown Trilogy. I had a chance to see it this week for the first time. The Unknown Trilogy is made up of three short stories that definitely reminded me of Night Gallery, or Twilight Zone. These stories are definitely well written and are very thought provoking, suspenseful and true to life. The cinematography was beautiful as well as the music. Also the dialog very believable and frankly, the acting was very, very good too! Sal Mazotta, Ed O'Ross, David Proval, Johnny Williams, Angie Everhart, Robert Constanzo, Abe Vigoda and Justin Guarini all did an excellent job. In the eternal words of Siskel and Ebert, and my humble opinion, this film deserves a thumbs up!

    rather cheap - mostly pathetic

    Unknown movie, a thriller, a horror? This trilogy of thriller/horror movies it was supposed to "delve into the deepest, darkest parts of human existence, into the unknown regions beyond life and death, and into the most fear-ridden parts of the human imagination." Don't get your hopes up now Growing up lots of kids have aspirations of moving to Los Angeles and pursuing a career as a movie star, writer, producer, or director. Not every kid realizes those dreams. CASH alum Brian Cavallaro (this is the producer of the film) followed his dreams to Los Angeles and puts together "The Unknown Trilogy" is a three-piece film, broken up into three separate 30 minute films. I think he had nightmares (not dreams): he made one bad movie, with bad acting, cheap all around.
