Tonette B Sarah and Tommy are super likeable characters. Especially, Tommy. Didn't think I would like this as much as I did. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review jesse o The only thing that could be called even remotely good about the film is its twist. And I wouldn't even say that it's good, it's interesting and it changes your perception of everything that came before it. But this isn't really a horror movie, I mean it's certainly framed like one, but there's nothing really scary or disturbing about this movie. There are films that don't scare me, but I can see and understand how someone else would find them scary. Not this one. The problem is the fact that the main source of 'horror' in the film is the ghost of this little kid. The problem with that is the fact that he just looks like a normal kid. Some scenes he's got make-up on to make him look ghostlier, other scenes he just looks like his normal self, with a few cuts on his face. So there's no real consistency and not to mention the fact that the kid himself inspires absolutely nothing. You see him and you don't really react in any way. A movie doesn't have to be scary to be horror, look at the countless slashers in existence. Again, the movie is certainly framed as horror, but it doesn't really feel like it in execution. Not to mention the fact that it moves at a real slow pace, to the point where if I just decided to stop watching it I wouldn't have felt bad about it. You know there's something wrong when you think that. And it's not even that the film is awful, I mean it is bad, it's just one that inspires a lot of apathy. You don't care what's going on and you don't really care to find out what's going on. The acting isn't very good, but at least it's not embarrassingly bad. Well there are a few moments here and there where it's cringe-worthy, but at least they're not many. There's some minimal special effects use, for the glass breaking, and it just looks awful. It's weird that something so small as that can look so fake with special effects. Then again, if they didn't have the budget for it then they didn't have the budget. I know nothing about special effects, so maybe they really did need a higher budget to make the glass effects actually look remotely close to real. The pacing leaves a lot to be desired, I just think it's too long of a movie what it is trying to be. There's no reason this shouldn't have been 85 minutes long, at the most. Going close to 100 minutes was clearly a mistake when they didn't have enough interesting material to justify going that long. Meh, I don't know. This is a bad movie, it didn't make me pull my hair out, but I'll forget this by next week, which is best for all involved. Let's just pretend this never happened. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The actors under perform in this movie but overall it works because some of the actors are creepy enough. The little boy ghost is creepy and you never know when he will pop out. Then there's this neighbor who is weird/creepy as hell! Since he is introduced he keeps you guessing whether his intentions are good or not. Overall this movie achieves what it was trying to do. And the little twist at the end works! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member OK, much better then expected. The story-line is saved by an intriguing plot twist. The movie is well acted, shot and directed. It tells it's story effectively, and delivers a lot of creepy moments. This one is plot driven, rather then mindless bloodletting. The characters, for the most part are smart. The movie revolves around the character of Sarah. She plays her part bravely. Of course there are plot holes, The neighbors seem aware of what is going on, but say nothing. I liked the mood, cheeky characters, and a threatening villein. A better then average watch, and the ending does indeed take you by surprise. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Plot moves a little slowly, but there are some good twists that make it worthwhile (even it leaves a lot unanswered). The whole film is really well cast, but it is the interaction between characters Sarah and Tommy that really shines. Cool indie-horror vibe, definitely watchable Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty stupid but kind of funny because its so bad movie, The Unbroken tries to be a supernatural thriller but ends up just being fodder for lampooning it.
