Bobby Dupea Starburst Not a single shock or surprise in what goes on, except in how badly it is constructed, shot and act. Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Definitely has moments of tension, but there's also plenty of dead space littering the feature, reducing conflict and indulging oddity to a point of tiresome repetition. Rated: C+ Aug 31, 2013 Full Review Lucius Gore ESplatter A terrible movie when it came out in the '80s, "The Unseen" hasn't aged well, even in terms of camp value. Rated: 1/4 Jan 5, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Overall, a fair movie. Nice acting troughout the film, especially Sydney Lassick as Mr. Keller. The story is indeed rubbish but still oddly watchable. Moreover, the special effects are almost nonexistent, really wished they made an effort to make it a little more gore. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review delysid d god this is awful tedious slow moving Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/17/18 Full Review Audience Member A terrible horror film. The director took his name off. Avoid. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Another horror film in which city folk find themselves out of their element when presented with a small town and a lack of lodgings, putting them in the creepy house of one of the locals for the night and leaving us to wonder why the hell they wouldn't just leave. This was one of those Code Red DVD films that I was trying to chase down forever, so I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to check it out. Rental! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie is so cool and scary I really loved it .I can't belive you don't it. I know I looked and couldn't find it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A creepy, perverse and underrated early 80's horror sleeper--The Unseen Under The Stairs of the Bates Motel!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
