Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Three young girls set off for a concert, a heavy thunderstorm begins and driver Nancy crashes the car in a remote woods, Nancy and Terry are OK, Gloria has sustained more serious injuries. The trio take shelter at the house of Marion Penrose, a particularly creepy looking residence she shares with her aged infirm mother. Marion suggests the girls spend the night, and that Gloria in particular should be travelling nowhere. That night Nancy and Terry experience some particularly strange goings on in that house, the girls now fearful of what's in store toss a coin to go for help. Nancy sets off the next morning and is brutally killed. The horrors continue...I have to begin by commenting on the acting, it is rather woeful, the trio of girls in particular are somewhat off with their performances. Janet Penner was surprisingly fun to watch as Marion.The film is definitely a low budget horror, but the success lays in the fact they managed to create a level of atmosphere that's sometimes lacking in many horror films. The climax is particularly shocking, it's brutal and seemed to come out of nowhere, I wonder if it had something to do with the film's banning in the UK?So it's full of clichés, it has a very clunky score, but it is hugely watchable, full of shocks. If you haven't seen it and you like slasher/b-movie horrors I would whole heartedly recommend a viewing. 8/10

I bought Unhinged because I got suckered by the gory picture on the cover. If you want to see all the good parts of the movie just look on the back of the box. All the kills are shown and I can honestly tell you that they look much better in the still frames than they do in the movie.Having said that, let's look at the plot. A group of college girls driving to a rock concert (by way of the deep, dark woods in one of the longest driving sequences ever captured on celluloid) slide off the road. No visible damage is done to the car but apparently it was enough to put one of the characters in a comatose state for the rest of the film (or perhaps she read the script and was already in a coma before filming began).The two remaining girls wake up in a big, isolated house. The house, by the way, is fabulous and manages more drama just by its presence than any of the actors in the film. For some reason, though, this house has no roads going to it. The only way you can get to the main road is by hiking five miles through the woods. The girls spend the rest of Unhinged sitting around listening to weird conversations between an old rich bitch (who looks like George Washington in drag) and her equally homely, sexually repressed daughter. The girls apparently were in no hurry to get back from that concert anyway being that they packed more clothes than the cast of Gilligan's Island for that three hour tour.By the time we, the viewers, get to the kill scenes, we no longer care. We wish that someone would kill us just to end our suffering . Unhinged finally wraps up with a quite shocking ending that deserved to be in a much better film. It's almost as though the ending, the one good idea in the film, was written first and then the writers tried to make a movie leading up to it.Unhinged is ultimately a boring film with bad acting, inept directing, and a plot with more holes than a leper in a porno film (sorry. I'm not sure where that came from). You will get an idea of how bad this movie is during the opening credits when, for some reason that is never explained, the screen goes black for about two minutes while the characters talk about nothing worth remembering. Don't waste your time. You'll just feel Unhinged and want your time and money back.

This video nasty slasher film directed by Don Gronquist, was banned in Britain for 20 years because of violence and nudity.It may have been nasty in 1984, but it is certainly tame by today's standards. That doesn't mean it is not worth watching, but it certainly does not stand up next to today's slasher films.First, I have to be careful and cannot fully review it as it would spoil it for anyone wanting to see it.I can say that the two shower scenes were nice, but nothing special.I can also say that there were three slasher scenes, but only the last one was special.It is worth the time, but it is certainly not anything excessive.

Three college girls on their way to a jazz concert crash their car. Fortunately, they find shelter in an old house. Unfortunately, the people inside are more than a bit crazy.Made in 1982, "Unhinged" caught quite a bit of controversy in Britain, ending up on the Video Nasties list. So, did it belong there? Well no, not really. As it stands, "Unhinged" is a rather uneventful slasher that feels like an amateurish blend of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Psycho." The acting is bad (as expected), it takes a while for the kills to happen, and the twist ending is pretty bad.Still, there are some good points to it. While it does take a while for the kills to happen, when they do, they are pretty good. There is also a decent atmosphere brought on by the house, and director Don Gronquist knows how to use it. Best of all is the electronic score from Jonathan Newman, which stands as one of the best electronic scores in slasher movie history.Still, the bad outweighs the good, and while watchable, I can't really recommend "Unhinged" to anyone but hardcore slasher and low budget regional horror fans.
