Cody Dean Willamette Week The film's quiet, mesmerizing tone makes for total immersion, daring us not only to rethink photography but blindness as well. Rated: A Nov 17, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Jack S A below average noir that's really more confusing than suspenseful, The Unseen is especially disappointing considering the Raymond Chandler screenplay credit. A pretty good cast, but they seem to be aware that it's not working and appear to be merely going through the motions. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Steve D Far too obvious to work.
