Too many fans seem to be blown away

People are voting emotionally.

One of my all time favorites.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

I am writing this because I was reminded of the film when asked by a meme sharer on Facebook what is the worst movie you've ever seen? I'm guessing that sums it up really, thanks Netflix Maybe not the worst ever but it popped into my mind, unwelcomed from around a year ago & I can't beat it for now. Does this review contain spoilers? Fairly sure there is nothing to make the experience worse so no. If you like low budget " arty" shots you'd still be better off navigating instagram randomly. Obviously this is my opinion but it seems others share it so view at your own risk.

FAKE reviews here by the busload.However it really is easy to spot them!!! If you see a several reviews which rate a movie highly then you also see a review which rates very low,its obvious that the LOW review would be the genuine one!!! There wouldn't be any point in voting a decent film with low score.No point.even for the trolls. This movie could have been made for peanuts by a bunch of children with a mobile phone.....yes really. The story line is non existent.The editing and cohesion of story is quite pathetic. No horror/acting/effects/scares/twists/ Its a classic found footage bunch of flashing lights/blurry images and stupid dialogue for stupid people.NO SPOILERS NO POINT...TRUST ME.

This is intelligent British low budget at its best. The slightly awkward nature of its clearly shoestring production is itself creepy in a way that adds to the effect that it is really quite chilling, and ultimately it felt strangely moving. Like every horror that has ever worked, it leaves you with the awkward, speechless, throat lump feeling that you have just witnessed something that you shouldn't have, followed with the cognitive disorientation of having to disassociate the experience from the re-emerging reality of your pitch black living room. It seems slow to begin but escalates uncomfortably, like a trip that you wish you hadn't taken, until it is the one leading you, out of control to a chaotic and relentless end, a free fall into oblivion. The acting for the most part works for the found footage style, although Lisa Kerr who plays Rose, the girlfriend brought unwittingly into the central focus of her boyfriend's post-grad spook research, has a nervous spiky energy that sets her apart early for what is to become her particular disquieting journey and draws the rest of the cast along with her almost inconsequentially, until being magnificently upstaged by Kitty McGeever, quite befittingly in her wonderful final performance.

I love the horror genre. I especially love that it has made something of a resurgence over the past decade. Horror is smart, artistic and very much maligned by film academia. For almost 20 years horror genre lovers were left out in the cold by the movie industry and the genre has finally been given the place it deserves (at the top of the list for ratings, box office, artistry and innovation). With such a resurgence comes the ability for first time movie makers and those working to small budgets the opportunity to delve into the genre's murky waters and get their feet wet. These small budget horrors should receive plaudits not just because the work is of interest but because the struggle from concept to screen is extraordinary and arduous. The Unfolding is one of those movies. You can tell from the very opening sequence to its very dying breath that this movie was a labour of love. It brought together a cast of unknowns (in every field) and created a piece of work that stands up against its multi-million dollar counterparts and in some instances outshines them. As with all good horror movies the score is everything and The Unfolding's score is magnificent and becomes a character in its own right. The imagery, performances and direction are also to be commended and as an initial foray into the genre Eugene McGing should be especially applauded. I don't scare very easily but there were moments during this movie that were genuinely chilling.
