Unseen Evil (2001) Reviews
Could be better, Richard Hatch is no villain.
This movie has many flaws, but compared to ALIEN 3000 or UNSEEN EVIL 2 it's bloody Oscar material. The acting seemed force, despite the fact of Tim Thomerson of DOLLMAN fame. But there isn't all bad news, the creature design and the CGI effects are very well done for a low budget movie, if you ask me RICHARD HATCH is a major sell out, first this then the remake of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA which true fans will say is Galactica in name alone. But that's a different story. He just can't do the villain role. Richard's villain is forced and labored. There are a few things other the creature effects. An alien experiment dumped on the Earth in a cave makes sense and is pretty cool. But I give it...7 STARS.
Very enjoyable!
This is a very surprisingly enjoyable film for a low-budget horror movie. It stars Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica) as the leader of a young archeological team who travels deep into the woods to search some caves for artifacts. Unknown to them, an ancient evil is awakening , guarding the secrets of the burial site. Betrayal also threatens to destroy them from inside the group. I bought this movie on DVD, and was totally hooked after the first ten minutes. The director Jay Woelfel has definitely improved since his last film, Iron Thunder, also starring Hatch. The best way to describe Unseen Evil is to say that it's The Blair Witch Project meets Predator. It has some very suspenseful and entertaining moments, and some pretty good performances. It is a very decent horror movie, and one that I recommend to horror fans, and fans of Richard Hatch. The special effects aren't on the level of say, Star Wars, but are enjoyable. My advice, give it a chance.
Straight-to-video monster in the woods nonsense
UNSEEN EVIL is a laughably poor straight-to-video Z-grade horror movie about college students hunting for an Indian burial mound said to possess ancient treasure. We kick off with a laughable flashback scene to ancient Indian rituals and it goes downhill from there, quickly turning into a sub-BLAIR WITCH copy except without the found footage angle. A down-on-his-luck Richard Hatch, of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA fame, plays the college professor, while Tim Thomerson has a cameo appearance. The rest is a mix of cheese and unintentional laughter.
Oh no!
This movie is SO unbelievably poor! I have lost faith in the Human Race if this film gets a rating of over 5! I wont put any spoilers... but to be honest it would make no difference: We have the token villain who cares about treasure more than anything. His trigger-happy stooge. The Stereotypical hero, who didn't have a clue about whats going on... his love interest who is there for no other reason, and of course who could forget the Law enforcement official who believes nothing told him... a la every other creature Feature... ever. The "Plot" follows the group searching for an ancient Indian burial ground... But it is protected... dun dun dun. Awful Dialogue, Acting, Inept structure and Poor effects... as well as an ending that is so pointless and tacked on that it made the previous 90 minutes seem ever more pointless. Avoid at all costs... in fact burn any copies found... on no accounts waste one and a half hours of your life on this thing! 0 out of 10!
I'll tell you why it is I had to see this one...
Okay, I simply had to see this since I saw it's "sequel" first (about two years ago), UNSEEN EVIL 2 (aka ALIEN 3000), and I immensely enjoyed it because it was truly one of the worst movies I had seen in a very long time. From it, I also learned that Tim Thomerson apparently starred in the "original". All this was reason enough for me to sit my a§§ down with this "original" epic tale of Alien Terror & Indian Mysticism. So how did it go down this time? On a bad movie-scale, this "original" is about twice less fun than the "sequel". Does that actually make it a better movie...? I have absolutely no idea... It's not even fun writing a user-comment for it (while the sequel was). We got annoying people running around in some woods, being chased and ripped to shreds by crappy CGI (make no mistake; it's not as fun as it sounds). But if that's your thing, then sure, go ahead and watch it. I'll always be willing to give retarded rubbish like this a peek, but I can only take so much of it. I'll be generous and give it one point for what happens to Tim Thomerson. Didn't see that one coming. I guess the producers realized they were spending too much money hiring him, so they just decided on the spot to write him out of the script. By the way, if you happen to love UNSEEN EVIL, then go watch DEMONICUS (2001). You'll have a blast. It's even from the same director (Jay Woelfel) and its more or less the same movie, only this time with a possessed idiot running around in a plastic Roman-times inspired body-armour, slashing people in the woods. Have fun.
