Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween made me more anxious.

Some of the frights work reasonably well; and Ms. Ferland is convincing. But there aren't enough surprises or innovations to make this one stand out in the sea of horror fare that comes along this time of year.

Los Angeles Times

"The Unspoken" has so much plot that it really shouldn't need to rely as much as it does on big, loud sounds. After a while, the assaultive music becomes a tip-off that the movie's not working.

Bloody Disgusting

The film fails to unpack or explore its ending twist, but it does work reasonably well as an answer for both the events of the film and...every haunted house film, including all of those contained within the Amityville “franchise.”

Rated: 3.5/5

Cinema Crazed

It's a horror film for the casual horror viewer and will most likely not scare the more dedicated genre fans.

Rated: 2.5/5

[O]n the surface this film looks like just another possession story, but the plot twist and big reveal of what's really been going on in the old house is incredibly creative and not something I've seen before in other films.

Rated: 3/5

Many plot ideas, none coherent and none of them scary.

Terrible acting, awful script, and the worst thing of all... I think this movie set a record for attempted jump scares. The only good thing I can say about this film is that the little kid was believable. Too many stories wrapped into one, way too many attempted jump scares, just awful.

Not to bad for something to watch. Didnt distract me from what I was doing much, so nothing over the top.

0% is too high a score. This film is a bunch of scenes that say nothing and go nowhere.
