Justin T This is better than your average slasher but worse than the good slashers so overall it sits probably very slightly below average for all films. The production quality is quite low but this is engaging because of the Lovecraft lore. The acting is average at best, mostly the acting is pretty poor. Personally I really like the cinematography but I could see how most people wouldn’t like it and think the film looked horrible. The monster was really cool but I don’t think that it is true to the Lovecraft mythology. I can see how something so intangible and impossible to see with normal eyes is so difficult to translate as originally written to film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Christopher P If Ed Wood adapted a Lovecraft story AND had 2 nickels to rub together for a budget. A bunch of middle aged college students find a "thing" living in a local abandoned house. Terrible acting and cheap sets but I'll give it a mark for a not so bad creature design. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/28/22 Full Review Audience Member An hour and 27 minutes you'll never get back. Even being high didn't make it better which did work for Sharknado. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Joel C A simple horror-house film with a guest appearance of the Necronomicon. The legitimacy of the actual story isn't strong considering the house has been left untouched for over 100 years, but it's just a movie after all. The cast do a good enough job to sell their characters and the "unnamable" creature looks pretty cool once we get to see it. The gore works well and towards the end the production almost steers towards an Evil Dead style. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/21 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand why this has such a horrible reputation. Sure the acting is pretty awful, but it's some campy, over-the-top fun. It's got a nice load of little Lovecraft touches, and the creature looks really cool. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/18 Full Review cory t [Zero Stars] H.P. Lovecraft would twirl in his grave if he viewed the intolerably execrable 'The Unnamable'. This is obviously a Full Moon-like low-budget affair and the architectural design and lighting scheme are terribly chintzy (green, blue and hearth-effect gels are inexplicably strewn throughout the set). The characters are foolhardy ignoramuses who unlock suspicious doors and split off in separate directions. A soft-core sex scene is shoehorned in for prurient tastes. All of the college students are played by 40-year-old actors. The histrionics are atrocious but the main barnacle is Carter (Mark Kinsey Stephenson) since he is so misogynistic ("Just like a woman to faint") and self-absorbed that he is engrossed in reading ancient tomes while his friends are being slaughtered on the other floors. There could be a drinking game for how often the characters recite each others' names. The finale is sophomoric insofar as tree branches are rustled in front of the camera as they wrest the succubus out the window. The score is an incessant, bargain-basement mixing of a Casio keyboard with a flute. Other than the centaur UGG boots, the creature design is a grade above meritorious. Overall, the stillborn 'Unnamable' is one of the worst genre offerings I've had the displeasure of seeing this season. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
