The Unhealer

This statement is very true for this film. Truly, this is the most unique movie of its kind. I won't give away any of the plot but I will guarantee you that you will be glued to the screen start-to-finish.

Lance Henriksen who is such a legendary actor in his own right opens the movie. Elijah Nelson is the main character of the film. I barely recognized Natasha Henstridge who was considered among the most beautiful of actresses in her time.

The movie has elements of superstition and the gore genre. It is a thriller of the fast paced variety. I would not go as far to say that it is horror film. Though with all these variations, I found the movie entertaining enough to sit through it and my time was not wasted.

Interesting storyline and good acting. Had the potential to be the next big movie, unfortunately it seem they had the budget for their vision... but this doesn't distract from the story and it's definitely worth the watch.

There's a lot of things wrong with this movie. Some of them end up being unintentional comedy, even. The cast is a motley mash of awful, so-so, and good actors; the directing is uneven, and sometimes amateurish, and the same goes for the editing. But the premise and the story is simple and solid, and the way it plays out makes for a fun, interesting watch. I believed this is the kind of movie that would have been awesome if, all things being equal, it had had a great director or even a great producer that could have pushed for higher quality.

I'm giving it an inflated 7/10 to compensate for the bad reviews.

REVIEW - THE UNHEALER

Films seem to follow trends, it is sometimes as if studios release similar stories or animations at the same time, now I can certainly appreciate this as they are after your money, so it's good to find a film that actually goes against all of the similar trends in cinema at the moment.

A con artists steals magic from an original Americans shrine and suddenly has the power to heal, or does he?

A boy who is being bullied because of an eating disorder falls I'll and the con artist is called in to heal him.

Naturally things go wrong and the boy ends up with the power but....... No spoilers, because this low budget film is actually quite enjoyable.

A healing power used for other purposes, nice story and nice acting.

Rating 6 out of 10.

The acting isn't great, but the story is very original. I'm not a great horror movie fan, so I might be wrong, but this story was surprisingly original. It had the teenage revenge story, the love story and, well all the cliches of the teenage horror movie but turned it into something new. . I won't be suprised if it will have a remake in a few years and be a great hit then.
